ON THE INTERPRETATION OF THE REDSHIFT IN A STATIC GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

Excerpt:
"ABSTRACT
The classical phenomenon of the redshift of light in a static
gravitational potential, usually called the gravitational redshift,
is described in the literature essentially in two ways:
on the one hand the phenomenon is explained through the behaviour
of clocks which run the faster the higher they are located in the
potential, whereas the energy and frequency of the propagating photon
do not change with height. The light thus appears to be redshifted
relative to the frequency of the clock.
On the other hand the phenomenon is alternatively discussed
(even in some authoritative texts) in terms of an energy loss of
a photon as it overcomes the gravitational attraction of the massive
body. This second approach operates with notions such as the
"gravitational mass" or the "potential energy" of a photon and
we assert that it is misleading.
We do not claim to present any original ideas or to give a
comprehensive review of the subject, our goal being essentially
a pedagogical one."
This proof falsifies Einstein's view:
Excerpt:
"The gravitational redshift is a classical effect of Einstein's
General
Relativity (GR), one predicted by him [1] well before that theory
was created [2] (for the historical background, see e.g., [3]).
Phenomenologically one can simply affirm that the frequency of light
emitted by two identical atoms is smaller for the atom which sits
deeper in the gravitational potential.
I'm sorry, Marcel. I don't see any conflict.
Okun says that redshift is better understood that as a time dilation
effect than as a change of energy effect.
The statement at bottom says the effect occurs. It does not say that
this effect is due to a change of energy.
PD
For a freely falling absorber, the signal emitted from the ground
would appear *Doppler blue shifted* by gH/c^2 if it were not
*beforehand* red shifted by gH/c^2 by "the gravitational attraction
of the massive body".
Because of the Doppler effect, one has to accept that the energy and
frequency of the propagating photon change with height, and that clocks
don't run the faster the higher they are located in the potential.
I see you learned nothing from reading Lev Okun's article.
What do you don't understand in my demonstration:
It is not a demonstration. It is an exposition of precisely what Okun
warned about. The Doppler shift is *not* best understood as a loss or
increase of energy of the photon, precisely because of the problem that
Okun points out. It is better understood as a difference in clock rates
at different locations in the potential well.
|
Why?
It is perfectly well understood in terms of light accelerating as it falls,
like any other lump of matter.
Marcel is correct. GR is plain bullshit.

Tell us PD, what shift is observed by a freely falling receiver?
(That shift is 0 according to eveybody, perhaps not according to
you).
As the receiver is moving relatively to the source, why doesn't he
observe a blue shift due to the Doppler effect, instead of no shift
at all?
The answer is simple: the Doppler blue shift gH/c^2 is exacty cancelled
by a redshift of -gh/c^2 due to the loss of energy of the photons as
they "overcome the gravitational attraction of the Earth?
Do you reject such answer? Why?

The Mossbauer 'receiver' is extremely narrow due to the high
Q of the atomic oscillator. It only observes (absorbs) light
which is of the right frequency and phase to permit an
efficient transition to a permissible energy level.
A wide band receiver will intercept the transitions at a
higher rate due to the closing motion, just as you have
described.

Only crackpots would stick to the explanation according to which

But, nevertheless, most GRists will probably not openly recognize that

In the meantime, you could content yourself with the formula easily
obtained by using the potential energy of the photons:
Nu1 is the frequency of the signal sent to the bottom
of the shaft.
Nu2 is the frequency of the signal received at the bottom.
d is the distance of the bottom of the shaft to the Earth's center.
Me and Re are respectively the mass and the radius of the Earth.
The shift Nu2/Nu1 - 1 = (GMe/2Re^3c^2) * (Re^2-d^2)
If GR doesn't get the same formula, it is false.

Equation 14 looks reasonable:
http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9606079
It is in terms of gravitational potential so
would predict the lowest frequency at the surface
then increasing as the clock either moved up or down.
That is consistant with free pendulms, long know to
decrease in frequency when moved up or down from the
surface.
As for your equation above, Nu1 should equal Nu2.
....unless you have a mechanism to create or destroy
the news of events as it is propagated. Maybe that
is what is happening on a noisy satellite feed when
the announcer freezes for a few seconds?  )

I am looking for a Pound-Rebka-Snider experiment down a
mine shaft. I think that would clear up a lot of the misunderstanding
but so far I haven't found one. Either my research skills are
getting rusty or graduate students have a softer life these days.

In the meantime, you could content yourself with the formula easily
obtained by using the potential energy of the photons:
Nu1 is the frequency of the signal sent to the bottom
of the shaft.
Nu2 is the frequency of the signal received at the bottom.
d is the distance of the bottom of the shaft to the Earth's center.
Me and Re are respectively the mass and the radius of the Earth.
The shift Nu2/Nu1 - 1 = (GMe/2Re^3c^2) * (Re^2-d^2)
If GR doesn't get the same formula, it is false.
Equation 14 looks reasonable:

Equation 14 should here be written in terms of the shaft depth!
Perhaps a true GR specialist could do this.

It is in terms of gravitational potential so
would predict the lowest frequency at the surface
then increasing as the clock either moved up or down.
That is consistant with free pendulms, long know to
decrease in frequency when moved up or down from the
surface.
As for your equation above, Nu1 should equal Nu2.

Look at my equation: the shift is given by (GMe/2Re^3c^2) * (Re^2-d^2)
Only if d = Re is Nu2 equal to Nu1 (the depth of the shaft is 0).
If d = 0 (the receiver is at the Earth's center), the shift becomes
GMe/2Re*c^2.
This shift should rather easily be obtained with GR.
