The Aurora Experiment

The Aurora Experiment is the most fundamental and forbidden in 20th-century physics. It shows the anisotropy of light propagation by modern instruments based on atomic clocks. For every follower of relativity, that experiment means failure in physics and Einstein's greatest failure.

Suppose now that the researcher likes to detect the motion of the measuring instrument relative to the medium. As soon as the observer moves through the continuum with the measuring instrument, the detected motion also shows observer-to-medium relative motion. The observer comprehends that motion, as shown in the following figure.

Wavefront in case of moving wave source

The observer starts emitting medium disturbances in the form of waves at the point CA. He emits N waves. That process takes some duration D. The observer keeps his motion in the continuum as observer-to-medium relative motion, and the emitted waves keep their motion in the continuum as wave-to-continuum relative motion.

At the end of that duration D, the observer (with his measuring instrument) reaches point CB. At the same time, the wavefront forms a sphere in the medium. The figure shows a cross-section of that sphere in the form of a circle F1-F3-F2-F4 (dashed line).

The observer carries a rod with a length CA-F1 that coincides with the distance covered by the wavefront in case of the motionless location of the observer in the medium. Therefore, the last point of that rod coincides with the location of the wavefront in any orientation of the rod in case of zero speed of observer-to-medium relative motion. Some of those points are shown in the figure as F1, F3, FX, F10, F2 and F4.

In the case of the described motion in the direction CA-F1, the rod appeared in the location CB-F8 at the end of duration D. In that case, the wavefront covers the distance CB-F1 of the rod instead of CB-F8. In other words, the wavefront covers a lesser distance.

Suppose now that the observer continues the measurement and rotates the rod. In that case, the rod takes a different orientation each time a new measurement is made. The next measurement happens when the rod takes location CB-F5 (CB-F5 = CB-F8). In that case, the distance covered by the wavefront extends to CB-F3 (CB-F3 > CB-F1).

As you can see, the wavefront covers a greater distance regarding the rod despite the constant speed of observer-to-medium and wave-to-medium relative motion. Therefore,

The observer rotates the rod further. The following experiment happens when the rod takes location CB-F9 (CB-F9 = CB-F8). In that case the wavefront covers some distance CB-FX. That is a critical experiment.

In that case, the rod keeps the same orientation as the CA-F10. However, the wavefront that reaches point F10 in the case of the rod's motionless location does not reach the end of the rod (F9) in the case of a moving rod. Therefore, the experiment shows a different duration (the greater one) in the case of a moving rod.

The observer rotates the rod further and continues measurements. The subsequent measurement happens when the rod takes location CB-F7. In that case, the same duration is too big to detect the wavefront's location by the rod because the wavefront reaches point F2 by the duration D.

As a result of those experiments, the observer concluded that the wavefront's speed relative to the rod depends on its orientation. Moreover, as soon as the rod has a constant length at all experiments, different speeds appear as different durations that the wavefront needs to reach the other end of the rod. Therefore,

Moreover, the observer comprehends this. The experiment shows the minimal duration in case of opposite velocities of the rod and the wavefront. The figure indicates that case in the CB-F2 direction. The experiment shows the maximal duration in case of coincided velocities of the rod and the wavefront. The figure indicates that case in the CB-F8 direction. Each other direction shows a given duration between those minimal and maximal values. Moreover, rotation of the rod for M degrees clockwise or counterclockwise regarding the direction of the minimal or maximal duration gives the same value of the measured duration. In other words,

Suppose now this. The observer likes to determine that deviation in the case of electromagnetic radiation. The observer comprehends this. Electromagnetic waves have a great speed of propagation. Therefore, it is better to use two points of measurement separated by a significant distance (a few kilometers at least) and two atomic clocks located at those points to make measurements. Such measurement became possible after the invention of atomic clocks because of their precision and stability.
