"How Does Light "Know" How Fast to Travel?"

One of the basic beliefs of modern physics is that the velocity of
light is the same wherever and whenever it is measured. It is, in the
language of physics, invariant. To illustrate this understanding, let us
consider an example in which a rocket ship passes Mars on its way towards
Earth. On the rocket ship and on Mars are two radio transmitters arranged so
that, at the instant the ship passes Mars and transmitters are at the same
distance from Earth, both transmitters send a signal towards Earth. Along
the route, test stations observe the passage of the signals and report that
the signals pass each station simultaneously, exactly in accordance with the
requirements of Special Relativity. (Radio signals differ from light signals
only in their frequency. Relativistically, their behavior is identical..)

This observation presents no problem if the radio signals is are waves
propagating through a medium (e.g.- the Aether) as sound does though air.
The velocity of a wave propagating through a medium is the velocity of
propagation of that wave though the medium. The velocity of propagation of
the sound of a gunshot is independent of the velocity of the gun while the
velocity of the bullet is not. The observation presents a difficulty,
however, if we regard the photons which makeup the radio wave as particles
which are emitted from the source and travel ballistically to the target.
Such would seem to be the concept of the propagation of light when one
considers the apparent banishment of the Aether following the acceptance of
Special Relativity. If there is no medium, then the observably same velocity
of the two radio waves could only occur if the transmitter on the rocket
ship had measured its velocity with respect to the transmitter on Mars and
adjusted the velocity of its transmitted signal so as to cause the two
signals to travel together.

The side by side propagation of the radio signals presents no problem
if one accepts that they are a vibrational disturbance traveling through a
medium (e.g. - the Aether), but if there is no medium it would seem to
require that some sort of "magic" be involved. The presence of magic in
physical processes is more difficult for the writer to accept than is the
existence of the classical Aether. This conclusion is particularly true
since the Aether has been shown to be conventionally unobservable but has
never been shown to be non-existent. The latter conclusion results from the
fact that physicists have jumped from an unproven assertion to a foregone
conclusion. Dr. Einstein did warn that the non-existence of the Aether had
not been proven, what had been proven was that it was not necessary for
computations of relativistic effects.

It gets its information from the 'c' spin of the electron The electron
cloud structure is spinning photons. They radiate out at 'c',and radiate
in at 'c' This is the heart of my "Spin is in theory" Bert

Double-A Where did you get that information Bert

Double-A light has a constant speed. There is no frame of reference to
measure its speed differently. No gravity force can change its speed
Gravity can only lengthen its wave length . can shorten it also if it is
moving towards a gravitational field shorten it. Speed of the light
source can do the same thing. That is why motion and gravity are two
sides to the same coin(Equivalent) Bert

Double-A you are going against relativity. My electron spinning at "c"
is the only theory giving light both its source and most importantly its
"set" speed. Light leaving a large star travels at the same speed as the
Earth's reflected light. Shame on you Double-A. Reality is if light
did not go at 186,000 mps it would screw up the universe Bert

Double-A The Sun's gravity makes light take a curved path. Those smarter
than me will tell you that light never changes speed but when taking a
longer time that means the distance from A to B has been made
longer.That is best to keep in mind for it is reality. GR and SR are
based on clear reality ideas. Bert

Double-A You are shooting me down with my own all directions thinking.
So i'll think in the direction our measuring showing light picking up or
slowing down if in error I would give up drinking Bud if its effect on
me had me thinking the photons are able to change speed. .Bert
