Given a X,Y,Z cordinate system with "earth in origo" a spaceship "A"
travels along X axis in a
velocity close to c.
Assuming the side of spaceship is along the Y
axis and a pulsecanon is aligned along Y(side of ship) it fire a
pulse
of one Plank length in a straight line along Y.

1. What will the actual trajectory of the pulse be?
(will it not at all be affected by the ships trajectory and travel in
a straight line along Y, i have a hard time to imagine it travelling
in a straight line parallell with ship c along the X axis but maybe
it
will?) or maybe it will take have a trajectory like a ball thrown
from
a car left side but that would be a velocity dependent trajectory
dependent on ~c and c?


2. Maybe a very stupid question, is it possible for the pulse(given a
light pulse) to expand not only in a positive direction from the
pulse
canon?
Maybe it is not quite clear what i mean, must the pulse always travel
positive from the emitter given a light or radio pulse, even if the
emitter is an object moving at ~c.

Could anyone be so kind make plot the trajectorie for me assuming
planet earth at rest in origo and ship travel positive along x-axis.
The ship passing origo "earth frame t0 sec" firing pulse postive in y-
axis
could anyone plot out for me "ship" and "pulse front" respective
origo
"earth frame t1 sec".

Where is lightpulse with respect to origo "earth" anyone?
The ship travels very close to ~c let us say indistinguasable.

I would also like to know how the trajectory would look in 0.9 0.8
0.7
0.6 c ...... and so on if someone got the time.

Aetherians, SRians or anyone?

Maybe it is just a dumb question but i really do now know the answer,
is it clear that it only will travel positive along the y-axis, no
deformation of the trajectory due to velocity in positive x-axis
direction?

Now, does not the prize to Einstein imply
that the Academy recognised the particle
nature of light? The Nobel Committee says
that Einstein had found that the energy exchange
between matter and ether occurs by atoms emitting
or absorbing a quantum of energy,hv .

As a consequence of the new concept of light quanta
(in modern terminology photons) Einstein proposed the
law that an electron emitted from a substance by
monochromatic light with the frequency has to have
a maximum energy of E=hv-p, where p is the energy needed to
remove the electron from the substance. Robert Andrews
Millikan carried out a series of measurements over a
period of 10 years, finally confirming the validity of this
law in 1916 with great accuracy. Millikan had, however,
found the idea of light quanta to be unfamiliar and strange.

The Nobel Committee avoids committing itself to the
particle concept. Light-quanta or with modern terminology,
photons, were explicitly mentioned in the reports on
which the prize decision rested only in connection with
emission and absorption processes. The Committee says
that the most important application of Einstein's photoelectric
law and also its most convincing confirmation has come from
the use Bohr made of it in his theory of atoms, which explains
a vast amount of spectroscopic data.

Ok i determine that you either not got time to plot it out, are
unable, can but refuse or think i should do it myself but since i am
not psycic i do not really now.

If you try to say that there is no easy answer say so.
If you try to say that answer the question put you in trouble say so.
If you just like me do not know the answer to the question, it is just
ok probably someone else got the answer.

Suppose an empty space without matter or magnetic fields surrounding
origo. Just the ship A origo planet B (very small just a pebble) to
define rest space.

Is this really such a tricky question? I just want to see if light
have velocity dependent trajectory?

The term *trajectory* is normally reserved for a particle with mass.
Light, (wiggling electrons and protons) propagtes over a path
and it may do so bidirectionally.

In optics, there are special cases where a ray or particle model
is used for simplicity. But that doesn't alter the electromagnetic
models that provide more complete description.

The velocity depends on the eps and mu of the dielectric.
The light in your Television cable is moving at about

Hello Dirk if i understand correct (plotted correct) the ligh pulse
will travel straight along the y-axis without deformation, regardless
of speed.

That makes me wonder a little, because after t1(earth/planet time 1
sec) the light beam have travelled 300 000 km relative earth.

But for the ship *distance* to pulsefront we would have to use
pythagoras theorem correct?

424 264 km

That would be the distance as measured from earth frame between ship
and pulsefront correct?

Assume velocity ship 0.9999 c we have a dilation factor of 1/70.7 sec
for inertial frame A ship.

1 sec earth frame =0.014144 ship frame

Should i conclude that the distance to pulsefront from within the
shipframe is 0.01414*424 264 ?

And that the distance to earth is 0,01414*300 000?

Is there other distances from within the ship frame to the pulsefront
and planet? "At moment t1"=clock 1 sec passed earth frame.

I know that length contraction occur in the ship frame does this apply
for space and things outside the ship?

Is there such a thing as distance contraction in SR or does it only
refer to the actual things belonging to the moving frame?

In my mind it would be natural to have the distance as a constant
between the frames 300 000/0,01414 and 424 264/0,01414 but that is of
course wrong according to SR.

Is distance really variant between frames in SR?
And what about the hypotenusa argument is that really invoked in SR?
