The thorny way of truth - Free Energy Community

-It- 122 -route this energy takes, what form It adopts and how fast ittravels.is hoped that the reader will see the gist of thisdiscussion. I-t is all too easy for us to follow the conventionaldiscussion themes in the debate on the pros and cons of variousways of looking at relativity, but in the final analysis the theoryof relativity will have to be Judged on its relevance, whetherphysical or merely mathematical, to phenomena in general. Once webring in provisos which limit the territory in which relativity canbe said to have meaning, we have taxed the theory to its limits andits viability becomes very questionable. One needs, it seems, tohesitate before trying to give physical interpretation to a theorywhich is still open on crucial issues such as those raised above.All important are the experimental facts and we have yet todetermine what these are.One other question, which we will not discuss in depth but whichis mentioned to show that there is so much yet to be resolved, isthat posed by the speed of an electromagnetic wave moving freelythrough space. When an electromagnetic wave is reflected back onitself by a mirror it will have to travel through the energy fieldof a wave of similar intensity moving in the opposite direction.How do we know that it will move as it would if it were freelymoving without being subject to the energy field of such areflected wave? Ve assume that the wave velocity is unaffected bythe energy field of other waves, but we know that light is sloweddown on passage tfough the energy fields of water molecules, forexample. I find reliance on this assumption difficult tocomprehend, especially bearing in mind that it is the untestedassumption on which the Nichelson-Morley experiment is founded andthe null result of that experiment is of crucial physicalImportance to the theory of relativity.It was after Michelson and Xorley reported their experiment thatWiener discovered that standing waves are set up by 180 degree
