"According to Einstein's theory of general Relativity, which is not a physical theory but a mathematical hodgepodge . . . "
Hmm.
Ok, lets hear your theory then . . .

For waves that propagate in a medium, such as sound waves, the velocity of the observer and of the source are relative to the medium in which the waves are transmitted. The total Doppler effect may therefore result from motion of the source, motion of the observer, or motion of the medium. Each of these effects is analyzed separately.
For waves which do not require a medium, such as light, only the relative difference in velocity between the observer and the source needs to be considered.
Anything that moves requires a medium. You are just parroting what you read. Why not start thinking for yourself instead of following the elephant parade?
Ahh. Of course it does! In the case of a photon that would be the luminiferous aether.
😀
Indeed.
I was reading about that a few nights back. What an unholy balls up.
Then I thought about the F35. $480 billion and counting and there are still problems.
Seems when it comes to military technology, cost overruns and failure to meet spec know bounds. That said, Nimrod really missed the mark - the plane was too small!
Bonsai, care to declare where you come from? EU is a bit vague, isn't it? 🙂
I always distrust Johnny Foreigner. Maybe why we like Brexit.
TBH, we have bet the house on the Lockheed f35-B: Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II - Wikipedia.
Otherwise we have two huge 65 Kilo-Ton battleships wandering aimlessly about Portsmouth Harbour.
Do I care? Not really. Bring it on.

My father was English, my mother South African, my wife Dutch, my two sons a Dutch, my sister Austrian, my brother an American and my half brother and his family French.
I am a European first and British subject second.
Hope that’s clear to you and anyone else that cares to probe this issue.

I would think a vacuum qualifies as a medium, the speed of light is lower than c in a different medium like the dielectric in a coax.
BTW you won't get far with N101N.
I worked that one out 🙂
Why do people trash science that’s delivered every modern marvel we see around us and yet offer nothing better to replace it ?

Fair comment, Bonsai about Europe. Just that it is actually handy to know where people live when discussing new components an' all that....
Bit of speculative nonsense in the The Guardian this last month:
Scientists say most likely number of contactable alien civilisations is 36 | Alien life | The Guardian
Boffins say there are 36 types of Little Green Men in teh Milky Way. And they are 17,000 light years away on average. 😕
I am sure these people make this stuff up over a Pub Lunch.

Surely it's a very carefully calculated value to get to two digits of precision, some geometric mean between 0 and 11 quadrillion.
Well, I'm glad those 36 civilizations didn't contact us, with that Covid-19 thing going on...😀
Besides it would lead to traffic jams in space.
Since we haven't got the first half of two way communication these numbers don't add up.
Try this from a Prof. Mark Defant

The best estimates from what I’ve seen are ‘perhaps’ 1 advanced civilization per galaxy.
Drakes Equation has been refined to include a host of factors that quickly make the odds vanishingly small.
Sy also added an interesting one. Imagine you are sitting in a darkened arena with people. It’s pitch black. Every now and then a flashlight goes off. That’s an analogy for the rise and fall intelligent life across the universe. It’s mostly dark. Every now and then, there’s a spark but that’s it.
You have to have a star that is just the right size. A small rocky planet in the Goldilocks region and you need about 3 billion years without major disruption- no no GRB’s, no other mass extinction events, no asteroids big enough to finish things off completely. And then you need the intelligent life that arises to be not too stupid for just long enough.
The Earth is very unique, as is our home star and the solar system - none of which are typical.

I was fascinated today by the idea of what an Alien Dog would look like. 😕
Turns out they have already rocked up on our dishevelled Planet:
A Dingo Ate Australia
These animals ain't your best friend at all. Throw a ball once, and they'll bring it back to you. Throw it away again, and they wonder why they bothered, since you are clearly not interested! 😎
Amazing. 😀

I think the assumption by the Dingoes is that the ball is important. Just like it is to Tom Brady of the Patriots, or lately Tampa Bay.
But if Tom Brady keeps throwing it away, why chase it? Presumably he doesn't want it. You follow? 😀
Only dumb Dogs chase a ball relentlessly. Hope I explained that well.
