Overlooked effects of wavefront reception with or without speed limit, from aberration to time measurement

Denis Michel

Résumé

The measurement of durations, Doppler and aberration effects and cosmological redshift, are all perceptual phenomena, and as such require the use of reception rather than Lorentz-transformed coordinates. Perceived durations relate proper to proper durations while the famous time dilation of special relativity relates proper to improper durations. Taking this subtlety into account rehabilitates the controversial Poincaré ellipsoid whose polar equation is just the relativistic Doppler effect and which in no way questions the sphericity of light wavefronts in all frames. The transposition of this approach to the Galilean case whose transformed and received wavefronts are homothetic, reveals new aberration relations and the existence of a transverse Doppler effect very similar, in proportion to the respective wave velocities, to the relativistic one, thus forbidding in practice the test of his theory proposed by Einstein. The reasons for the long persistence of a classical angular Doppler formula divorced from wavefront reception are discussed, one of them ironically being the theory of special relativity.
