How does the electron make a photon in an antenna?

I'd love to know, what makes you think you're let in on some kind of exclusive secret that no other scientist or physicist on Earth isn't aware of? Doesn't that make you stop and ponder the truth?

--- Quote from: Zero999 on February 05, 2023, 10:21:21 pm ---No energy is lost. If the object is moving away, the energy transferred from the reflected light, to the object's momentum. If the object is moving closer, energy is transferred from the object's momentum to the reflected light. In both cases, some energy will be absorbed by the mirror, which is not perfect, but it will not be lost, it will increase the mirror and object's temperature.

In that case then u agree with what i said – ie that a bit of energy is lost from the photon(s) in all 3 kinds of  reflexions (even if that bit of loss is retained by the system).
In which case u agree that multiple reflexions between stationary mirrors must gradually give redshift.

--- Quote ---But, as an aetherist, i need to add that there is no such thing as a stationary mirror (nor a stationary antenna) – if an aetherwind blows throo Earth  etc, then everything has an absolute velocity all the time – unless that thing is co-moving exactly with the aetherwind (nigh impossible). But i don’t want to waste time re that.

Everything is moving through space time. I'm talking about the relative velocity between the two mirrors being zero, i.e. they're both the same distance apart. The aetherist/wind stuff is complete rubbish.
--- End quote ---
Yes – in aether theory the relative velocity of the source of the photons & the mirror sort of trumps the individual absolute velocities in the aether (ie their aetherwinds) – hence in the lab the aetherwind can be ignored for many experiments.

I repeat. No energy is lost, because that would violate the first law of thermodynamics, which is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The tiny bit of radiation absorbed by the mirrors is not lost, but converted into heat. I know full well I'm being pedantic. It's fine to talk about energy losses for practical purposes, but in this case it's important to note that the energy doesn't just disappear.

But I do know that reading your text is extremely painful.

Therefore I am awarding you the Nobel Prize, in Confusion and Pain.

The fact that you've suddenly jumped to another topic completely out of the scope of the current one under discussion multiple times is because I suspect that you have Hebephrenic schizophrenia and that your subcouncious is trying to make us aware of this fact. I know exactly what you are going through I've been through it myself. Many years ago I was doing it all of the time.

Quite often references and admiration of nautical themes is a symptom of Schitzophrenia. I myself love the works of a well known Captain known as Jean Luc Picard.

I suggest that you try out an antipsychotic medication.

I don't know what your background is, but it's not possible to reliably diagnose someone over the Internet. I suggest he sees a doctor for referral to a psychiatrist, rather than relying on the opinion of some random person on the Internet.

PlainName:

--- Quote ---While I agree that it is highly unreliable to diagnose someone across the internet I don't understand this argument.

Could be seen to be an ad hominem attack. The intention may good, but would you be happy discussing your personal issues with your doctor on a TikTok video (silly question, judging from brief exposure to the medium)?

I think the proper thing to do if you have a real concern is to PM them. I appreciate that being used to public posting one doesn't immediately think of a PM in response to something (fallen foul of this myself), but it's what you should do if you're going to suggest something like this.

Of course, you're perfectly free to point out that his reality is pretty skewed and he should be writing long equations on the padded walls of his cell, but that would be an undisguised attack rather than a diagnosis :)
Zero999:
Don't take medical advice from the Internet, is a standard disclaimer. It was not intended as a personal attack.
PlainName:

--- Quote ---I also question the logic of mentioning being timid and talking to him in a PM while also mentioning padded cells.

--- End quote ---

That was a 'for example'. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

And, of course, I should probably have sent that to you via PM. No-one is perfect  :palm:
