Observation of a star’s orbit based on the emission and propagation of light as mechanical phenomena

Abstract

The hypothesis that the velocity of light depends on the motion of the light source was rejected by astronomers’ observations of binary stars and by the result of the experiment performed at CERN, Geneva, in 1964. Opposingly, the study of the emission, propagation, and reflection of light as mechanical phenomena concludes that the velocity of light depends on the velocity of the light source. According to this study, the human eye sees the orbit of a star larger than its actual size, and the light from the star on the observed orbit travels to the observer’s eyes at the emitted velocity <mml:math display="inline"> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:math> ; therefore, there are no time irregularities. This paper exposes visual irregularities predicted by the hypothesis that the velocity of light is independent of the velocity of the light source.
