Act 447. velocity of light
"First of all, the speed of light is not made up of the speed of light in a vacuum, but the speed of the selected reference frame, which is demonstrated by the latest interpretation of the Newington-Holland equations.
Second, the speed of light is not made up of the speed of light in a vacuum, but the speed of the light source, as evidenced by the Armand Flowing Water Experiment, which proves that the light rays obtained by the same light source passing through two water streams in opposite directions form interference fringes.
"Thirdly, the speed of light is not made up of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of the surrounding objects dragging the aether, as evidenced by the difference in light travel caused by the Armand Flowing Water experiment and the astrologers' observations of distant galaxies.
"Finally, the speed of light propagation in a medium is not consisted of the speed at which light travels at rest and the speed at which the medium moves, as evidenced by Armand's flowing water experiment."
Reiner wrote on the paper, his gaze turning to the other side of the table, which was a record of the experiment.
This is exactly what he mentioned many times about Armand's flowing water experiment.
This experiment is not the most recent, but rather a study conducted seventy years ago by a man named Armand. An experiment designed by Thor's mid-level mage.
The process of the experiment is very simple, a light source is generated by a magic array, and it is divided into two beams with a beamsplitter, and it is simultaneously shot into two tanks from the same direction, and there is a flow of water in opposite directions in the tank. The light passes through two tanks and then converges to form an interference phenomenon, and by studying the interference fringes, the speed of the light can be determined.
This experiment was designed to explain the aether drag effect, but now it is the cornerstone of Reiner's argument for his own ideas.
From these points, light does not change its speed due to changes in the outside world and media, which is different from the principle of relativity that mages insisted on in the past, and how to resolve this difference is Reiner's starting direction.
At this time, it is the middle of the fire, and the summer atmosphere is becoming more and more intense, and some open girls have even changed into summer cool skirt school uniforms.
The first mock test of the magic test has ended, and the graduating students are in the midst of a nervous final revision, while the students of other grades are also busy with the final exams that are gradually starting in various subjects, and during the day, the campus seems quiet and tense, only in the evening during the meal time, you can see the students holding the magic tablet and gesturing something.
Reiner put down his pen and stood up, he had to be careful and cautious, though he had a certain direction, for he knew that the conclusions that had been brewing in his mind might not be so easy to accept.
The rays of light swirled around him, forming formula after formula, and Reiner had sketched out the two of the more important ones, and the most important one, which was still in the hypothetical stage.
He decided to go out for a walk.
Dressed in a shirt, Reiner passed through the hallway, and he was relieved to see the students reading and reviewing in the classroom, and he came to Crescent Square and walked into the shaded path.
At this time, the bell rang to announce the end of the morning class, Reiner looked in the direction of the school building, and one after another students walked out of the classroom, he picked up his magic tablet and looked at the time.
It was twelve o'clock in the afternoon.
In Reiner's brain, he and the bell on the clock tower in the distance were like two different observers, each with their own time, which was seen by the mages of the past, no matter how far apart they were, no matter what state they were moving, they all had the same time.
Klenner doesn't think so.
He raised his head slightly, looking at the sunlight scattered among the treetops, this light gave birth to life, but it was also a problem that had plagued the mages for many years, it was obvious everywhere, but it was mysterious.
Reiner's mind flew into the sky.
He himself was like a light, swimming in the firmament.
His speed grew faster and faster, surpassing the speed of sound, constantly improving, and approaching the true light.
It was then that Reiner looked around, and he saw an astonishing picture.
The towers are getting shorter and shorter, the towering trees of the forest are turning into low bushes, and the world seems to shrink.
Reiner continued to accelerate, and he felt an unprecedented resistance, even if he exhausted his strength, it was difficult to continue to accelerate.
He felt the weight of his hands and feet, as if they had sunk a thousand times, and the more he tried to accelerate, the heavier the weight became.
Just then, a leaf fell from Reiner's side.
The leaves swirled, swirled, and fell slowly, several times slower than usual.
The high-speed Reiner contrasts with the slower foliage.
In this instant, Reiner looked at the time.
Buzz –
In an instant, all images contracted rapidly, Reiner no longer had the speed of the light, and his consciousness returned to his body.
A fallen leaf blown down by the wind just slowly fell to the ground under Reiner's gaze, a green leaf that grows in spring and falls in summer.
Feeling something, Reiner quickly left the trail and returned to his office.
Beside him, the light intertwined into a complex magic array cluster, which was Reiner's calculation circle.
From the calculation circle, more light appeared, forming one formula after another, one picture after another.
According to the Newington-Holland equations and the conclusions obtained from various experiments, the speed of light does not change in various reference frames and media, which is contrary to the existing laws of motion.
Therefore, Reiner came up with a hypothesis in order to solve this problem.
That is, the speed of light does not change.
The speed of light in a vacuum never changes due to external conditions, it is always a fixed value, which is like a constant and cannot be changed.
Based on this assumption, all the kinematic formulas around Reiner shattered in an instant.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Reiner regrouped all the formulas again.
Reorganize at the same speed of light!
It can be seen that if the speed of light is constant, then when the speed of the object is closer to the speed of light, its time will slow down, and the timeline defined by the mages in the past will expand at this moment.
Then, as the speed of the object increases, the length measured in the direction of motion of the object will also become shorter.
Two formulas appeared around Reiner, and according to these two formulas, when the object reaches the speed of light, its length will be reduced to zero, and its time will be completely still!
Buzz –
Reiner felt something, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene around Reiner had changed color.
The students walking outside the window, the wind blowing the leaves, and the birds flapping their wings are all as still as freeze-frame film.
Reiner saw the world.
