A new theory of light is always an interesting event.

Science Ping! An elite subset of the Evolution list.
See list's description in my freeper homepage. Then FReepmail to be added/dropped.

So I can now refer to my mini maglite as a relativity violator? COOL!

Testable, that alone makes it an important speculation.

. . . described light as "a shimmering of ever-present vectors in empty space" . . .

Vectors (and matrices) were ever-present in grad school and I never saw 'em shimmer.

LIGO might be able to look for these effects. (Though, the signal may be out of band.) The instruments are made from large, resonant cavities.

I really love/hate when you ping me to articles like this. It's gonna take me a week to try and understand it.

Yeah..yeah...I know...somehow I'll rise above the muddle.

I don't either, yet, but it looks newsworthy.

And when Relativity becomes a Law, not just a Theory, everything is going to go dark?

Oh I don't know. Trying to imagine the electric and magnetic field vectors in a propagating electromagnetic wave makes my brain shimmer. And shimmer isn't a bad description of what those vectors would look like if you could slow them down, but not too much.

I think FR should look into issuing college credits.

Not that it would do me any good at my stage in life.

If I ever need one....I'll just print one up..and add some foil cut into some weird diagonal pattern.

It only takes a couple bourbons to get my brain shimmering but that's just me.
