Anisotropic synchrony convention
The convention by which any model is measured is a function of human selection, such as whether we choose to use English or Metric. Neither of these conventions is wrong or inaccurate, but are different ways of measuring.
Synchrony conventions deal with simultaneity of light and time. The Einsteinian convention suggests that the speed of light is always constant. However, the one-way speed of light has never been measured[1]. Einstein needed an anchor for simultaneity so he stipulated that the speed of light is constant without actually proving it:
That light requires the same time to traverse the path A > M as for the path B > M is in reality neither a supposition nor a hypothesis about the physical nature of light, but a stipulation which I can make of my own freewill in order to arrive at a definition of simultaneity"[2] [emphasis is in the original].
More importantly, the speed of any moving object is determined by the formula distance/time. Since Einstein asserting that time is relative, it means that one of the variables in the speed equation is relative. Thus the speed of anything, including light, is also relative. To claim that the speed of light is constant essentially denies Einstein's assertion that time is relative. This is one of many inconsistencies in Einstein's assertions[3]
Any measurements of the speed of light require reflecting the light to create a two-way path. In addition, the instruments used to measure the speed also operate at the same speed we are trying to measure. There is no way to mask their influence on the measurement. In addition, Einstein suggested that when two clocks, side-by-side are synchronized, simply moving them apart causes them to go out-of-sync[4].
The Anisotropic Synchrony Convention presumes that the human observer is in a unique location. Light arriving from a distance source travels at a different speed than light traveling from a local source. Likewise the light reflecting off a surface may travel at a different speed than light arriving from an emitting source. This convention was the universal convention of observation prior to the 1600s. It basically means that to human perception, things that are observed are happening now, not at the end of light-speed propagation delay as with the Einstein convention. Light from the Sun arrives at the same time it is emitted. Light from distant stars arrives at the same time it is emitted.[5]
This is not only supported by the Biblical view, it is actually the convention the Bible uses. God gave mankind stars on the Fourth Day of Creation and clearly intended for them to be used immediately. The nearest star to Earth is four light-years away, so under the Einstein convention the night sky would be devoid of stars for four years after the Creation. This is incongruous with the context and provision of the Fourth Day.
Is there physical or cosmological support for this view?
- Black holes have such strong gravity that no light can escape. However, gravity only acts between bodies with mass, meaning that a photon has mass. The standard model however, claims that photons have no mass[6].
- For a particle-with-mass traveling at the speed of light, time stands still. It departs and arrives simultaneously. n short, photons do not require light-years to arrive to earth.
- Recent assertions on quantum entanglement[7] recognize the instantaneous interaction of particles across vast distances, eliciting discussions of wormholes to explain the behavior
- Spiral galaxies are seen all over the heavens at widely ranging distances, yet all of them look the same with their spiral arms in relatively the same positions. Instant arrival of light explains this effect.
- O-Type stars are highly energetic and are expected to burn-out their fuel in a few million years. They appear the same all over the heavens, at varying distances, with no other stars that look like a winding-down O-Type star. Instant arrival of light explains this effect.
