An observer flying just above a stationary stretch of water at 
c/n(water), in the same direction as a beam of light, will certainly
find that the speed of that light relative to themselves is zero.

Of course with current technology it might be difficult to prove
that by any real experiment, but assuming it could be done, what
result would you anticipate Sylvia ?

The intent of the discussion was of moving alongside a moving stream of 
water, at the same speed as the water, and measuring the speed of light 
in the water relative to oneself.

To an observer moving "at the same speed as the water"
the water is stationary.
Every experiment ever performed finds the speed
of light in stationary water is c/n(water), so
clearly, that is the answer to your question, Sylvia.

Now perhaps you will answer mine eh!

Within your theory, or within special relativity? We're talking about 
your theory. Your theory is not self consistent.

In your theory, if we have the water moving at w, and a light pulse 
light moving at speed c/n relative to the water in the same direction, 
then to the moving observer, the stationary observer and the light pulse 
are separating at a combined speed of w + c/n.

But Fizeau shows that the stationary observer sees the light pulse 
recede at a lower speed than that.

It is impossible to reconcile that result with the requirement that time 
passes at the same rate for both observers.

Seems that Keith intends to ignore this fundamental issue with his 
theory, and persist in believing it's right.

Note that in the observer's frame of reference the speed of
the water = c/n, so the velocity of light relative to the
observer is s simple example of 'c' - 'v', i.e. c/n - c/n,
which clearly gives the correct answer of zero, without any
of the Fresnel/Fizeau's nonsense eh!

I really was hoping for a quantitative answer to that question, Sylvia.

Fizeau is an experimental result. Calling it nonsense doesn't make it go 
away.

This scenario raises a similar problem to the one I've discussed in 
another posting, to which you have yet to reply. I won't comment further 
here, lest we end up discussing the same point in multiple sub-threads.

I wasn't talking about Fizeau, dishonest one.  Michelson
and others redid the experiment with laminar flow and
longer times.

Umm, no. The whole reason behind the seemingly anomolous result of the 
Fizeau experiment is due to the speeds NOT combining according to the 
Galilean transform. The speeds combine according to the Lorentz 
transform, that is (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2). The speed "u" is, of course, c/n in 
the medium (water) and it is a significant proportion of the speed of 
light c, so the term uv/c^2 cannot be ignored as zero. Therefore the 
speed of light in a medium moving at v is NOT u+v (c/n+v).

The Galilean transform has the denominator as 1 so the speed is just 
u+v. The Lorentz transform has the denominator (1+uv/c^2) or with u=c/n 
we get (1+v/nc) as the denominator, so the speed of light in a moving 
medium is (c/n+v)/(1+v/nc).

It took over 50 years before someone (Einstein) figured out why. The 
seemingly anomolous results are due to the SR speed equation, not the 
simple Galilean u+v result.

So, according to you Fizeau has falsified
GT and physics was using them for 50 years more
knowing they are false. Right?

Nobody knew at the time that Fizeau found evidence that falsified the 
GT, including Fizeau. The GT works OK as a low speed limit since the 
value (1+uv/c^2) is close enough to 1 for u and v << c. Since everything 
people of the 1800s worked with had velocities much less than c, except 
for light itself, the GT worked just fine for them as a low speed limit.

Nobody knew the GT was wrong until Lorentz, Poincare and Einstein came 
along.

And if we didn't have our beloved Great Guru to 
guide us we could still be foolishly thinking 
that they are not.
Surely the experiment itself is no way important
without a wise guru telling us that it shows
what he wants it to show, right?

No. What was true was that there was an anomalous result that did not meet
GTs. 

But I understand what you’re trying to say. 

First you’re trying to say that there are no physics experiment results
that falsify the GTs. 

Then you’re trying to say that because there were physics experiment
results that violate the GTs, then physicists are at fault for continuing
to use the GTs. 

Flop, fish, flop.

There is an essential difference - as air becomes less dense the maximum 
frequency of sound that is propagated without significant attenuation 
decreases, so sound doesn't propagate through arbitrarily rarified 
media. As a result the issue of the how fast the medium is moving when 
it is practically non-existent doesn't arise, because sound won't 
propagate through it anyway.

Your claim that light is just like sound is manifestly false, because, 
unlike sound, light propagates just fine regardless of how thin the 
postulated medium. Indeed, the thinner the medium, the better the 
propagation.

Your theory requires that light propagate at speed relative to that 
medium. For that to work, the medium has to have a definite speed 
regardless of how thin it is. As this discussion has already 
demonstrated, the notion of a speed of a very thin medium is as tenuous 
as the medium itself.

Where the medium is very thin, the change in momentum of a single 
particle causes a significant change to the average momentum. Since you 
have tied to the speed of light to that average momentum, that implies a 
significant change in the speed relative to the observer, and that would 
be noticed. This is direct consequence of your theory. You can't just 
wish it away with a bit of "macroscopic-atomic" hand waving.

No - why is the speed determined by an arbitrarily thin medium, but not 
by the much thicker water? When light is travelling through water, and 
the water is moving, where is the medium relative to which its nominal 
speed is defined? Not in the water, so where?

It has already been pointed out to you that in respect of light received 
from planets, this would result in inconsistencies that would be 
observed, if they were present. They are not observed.

And the criteria for that drop-off is when the wavelength of the sound
becomes becomes comparable to the mean free path length of the molecules in
the medium. Thus ANY classical wave theory in a medium has this feature of
a frequency cutoff above which the theory has no hope of successful
applicability. It does no good to “smear out” a tenuous medium to treat it
like a continuum, because for obvious reasons the model will fail to match
measurements. 

The same is true for light in an interstellar medium, where the mean free
path length of atoms in the medium is hundreds of meters. Thus a CLASSICAL
wave theory in a medium will disavow its applicability for an wavelengths
less than hundreds of meters, corresponding to frequencies of MHz or lower.
Thus the model MIGHT be testable for very long wavelength radio waves, but
no sensible classical physics treatment would try to apply it for visible
light, which has a frequency a hundred million times higher than that
cutoff. 

I raised this same comment to Keith some time ago, but like he does for any
experimental result other than the one he wants, he just ignored it.

It the initial disturbance is sufficiently large then sound
will propagate through arbitrarily rarified media. AT least
it will certainly propagate through the interplanetary and
interstellar media. (Ref: "The Fullness of Space" by Gareth
Wynn-Williams. Don't contradict me 'till you read it Sylvia.
Well worth reading if you really are interested in the
interstellar medium eh!)

I'm not saying that light IS sound, Sylvia. It isn't.
No analogy is perfect Sylvia, and there are certainly
many differences between the two, one of which is the
one you mention above. Another would be that light
travels very much faster than sound, but what light
and sound have in common is that they propagate as
a wave which travels at a speed determined by the
properties of the medium and that speed is relative
to the medium.

True Sylvia.

Read the book Sylvia. Sound does travel in interstellar
space, and its speed there is of course relative to
the medium.

turbulence CAN be demonstrated with both LIGHT and SOUND,
BUT i still NOT suggesting for a moment that LIGHT IS SOUND,
and there is a close ANALOGY in that they are both wave
motions traveling relative to the stuff they are traveling in.

Surely you can't believe a real vacuum chamber starts
to noticeably bounce around the lab when you sufficiently
reduce the pressure within it. Try it Sylvia, you will
find the vacuum chamber is just as stable within your
laboratory whatever the pressure within. And i promise
you that the light medium within you pressure vessel
is stationary relative to pressure vessel, at ALL
pressures eh!

You tell me Sylvia. So far as i am concerned
it is indeed the frame of reference in which
the water is stationary which defines the
frame of reference with which light travels
at c/n(water).

Read "The Fullness of Space",if you can get it Sylvia.
Highly recommended eh!

What has that to do with the speed of the medium?

Since they are not the same thing, let's forget sound. We're not talking 
about sound. It's another red-herring.

No, and I have not suggested that it will. The problem you face is that 
the lower the number of particles you're taking an average over, the 
more effect a single particle has.

What does it mean to say that a medium is stationary when it consists of

That doesn't work for you - as I've explained in my other recent post.
