Law of physics 20th-century scientists overlooked. I. The velocity differential propagation of light

摘要

Theorists of the 20th century had failed to recognize the law governing the prolonged interaction between electromagnetic radiation and gravity gradients-they had overlooked the principle of velocity differential propagation (the Principle). Historical background is provided and includes the bafflement surrounding the discovery of the cosmic redshift and its interpretation. The Principle is presented. Its application to gravity wells reveals that light waves traversing the external portion of a gravity well will intrinsically lose energy. The energy loss occurs during the inbound propagation AND during the outbound propagation. In other words, light undergoes redshifting throughout the entire journey. Three proofs are detailed. Observational evidence (several examples) is presented. Highlights are given of the momentous misinterpretation that could have been avoided if only there had emerged cognizance of the Principle. Examined is the question, How could it have happened that scientists missed the Principle? The implications for cosmology are profound. (C) 2020 Physics Essays Publication.
