Ether: Using the Doppler effect as a rebutal to the Michalson-Morelly findings

Jun 21, 2004 19:22

This paper claims to question Michalson and Morelly's findings regarding the nature of spacetime and the speed of light, using the Doppler effect. It is motivated as a search for an alternative source of power. The term Ether, defined as a medium in space that conducts light waves, is a pariah to conventional physics and preconceptions regarding ( Read more... )

A few lovingly suggested grammatical corrections:

"This paper claims to question...." presents a weak opening. Be strong!... you aren't claiming to question, you are questioning. Perhaps "This paper questions" or "This paper intends to question" instead?

"It is motivated as a search for an alternative source of power." I'm not sure if you are saying that you hope that the finds presented in this essay will motivate a search for an alternative source of power, or if your investigation and presentation of this essay was motivated by a search for an alternative source of power.
If you meant the former, I would suggest "This paper is intended to motivate the search for an alternative source of power."
If you meant the latter, I would suggest "It was motivated by the search for an alternative source of power."

"None was found" should be "Neither were found."

There were also a handful of spelling mistakes, which I'm sure could be edited easily.

That's it for mechanics. As for how well I was able to grasp the meaning, you did splendidly. I have taken an average number of science courses covering the basics, but I do not have an avidly scientific mind (you know, me and my Shakespeare....) This proves that your paper (so far) is accessible to people who are not specialists in the field, which is what I am sure you were shooting for. Congrats!

Looking forward to reading more....... I may not be a scientist, but you know how knowledge thrills me! Well done, love.
