: Shifting frequency doesn't change time, it changes N where N = t.f
: Example:
: t = 1 second, f = 1 Hz, number of cycles counted N = 1
: t = 1 second, f = 2 Hz, number of cycles counted N =2
: t = 1 second, f = 1 MHz, number of cycles counted N =1,000,000
: t = 60 seconds, f = 10 MHz, number of cycles counted N =600,000,000

: The number of extra cycles that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
: They were not sent but they did arrive.

: What does it represent? The 38 us/d ? How?

:
: As a matter of interest, Ballistic theory comes up with exactly the same

: BaTh says photons accelerate as they fall to Earth, just like anything
else.
: The fractional change in speed multiplied by the number of seconds in a

'we establish by definition that the "time" required by
light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires
to travel from B to A' because I SAY SO and you have to
agree because I'm the great genius, STOOOPID, don't you
dare question it. -- Albert Einstein,
who in 1895 failed an examination that would have allowed
him to study for a diploma as an electrical engineer at
the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich
(couldn't even pass the SATs).

"Counterfactual assumptions yield nonsense.
If such a thing were actually observed, reliably and reproducibly, then
relativity would immediately need a major overhaul if not a complete
replacement." -- Tom Roberts.
