A Possible Aether Explanation for Two Light Phenomena: Varying Speed with Medium and Cosmological Redshiftthe Speed of Light (3.00 X 105 Km/s in a Vacuum) Lies Beyond Human Comprehension, Especially if One is to Postulate that it Can be Achieved Ballistic

Authors: Raymond H. Gallucci

The speed of light (3.00 x 10^5 km/s in a vacuum) lies beyond human comprehension, especially if one is to postulate that it can be achieved ballistically by a particle, even a “massless” one such as a photon. If such speeds are attainable, which experimentation and astronomical observation apparently have “proven,” then it is slightly less of a leap of faith to imagine such speeds to result from wave phenomena, suggesting that a propagating medium for light must exist (an “aether”) despite such allegedly having been disproven pre-Einstein. With this possibility in mind, two light phenomena are examined from the perspective of an aether as light’s medium of transmission.
