Hello everyone
I don't know if everyone has read the new moq.org link:

but the findings pose serious challenges to how we currently view
Universe. First, space and time are no longer united as Albert Einstein
declared them to be with his Theory of Special Relativity. It is now
seen that what Einstein described, while being a valid point of view,
only operates under very specific circumstances.
What does this mean exactly? Basically it seems the problem boils down
to our measuring instruments. We know what the speed of light is for we
have measured it very carefully, with highly precise, technologically
advanced instruments. What is it that is being measured, however?
Looking at the findings of Dr. Wang, it becomes apparent that the
measuring instrument itself is being measured and not the speed of
light. In other words, a response to the delay of the receiver. Another
researcher, Ralph Sansbury, writes:
"A similar explanation applies to the red shift in radar reflections
from venus and mercury
when they are on the opposite side of the sun; that is the gravitational
effect of the sun is not to
change the time scale of light wave disturbances in the ether near the
sun so as to increase the time
between successive peaks and valleys of a sine oscillation but to
influence the radar receiving
antennas on the earth so that they do not respond as quickly to changes
in oscillating forces on the
free electrons in their antennas resulting in a lower frequency for the
received oscillation of charge in
the radar antenna." (see http://www.magna.com.au/~prfbrown/news96_f.html
)
For years, experiments have suggested light propagates instantaneously
and the the light of stars we see shining overhead are not millions and
billions of years old at all, as is commonly presumed. The volume of
research leading to this point of view is staggering:

The law of conservation of energy so befuddled Niels Bohr that he
abandoned it in his early career, only to be forced back into accepting
it when experiments seemingly confirmed the law. What Bohr didn't
realize then, and what we are only starting to realize now, is that
those experiments did not measure what we thought they measured, but
rather only measured the instruments themselves.
Could light may be the medium through which electromagnetic waves
travel? It is appearing more and more that this may be.
Thoughts, anyone?
