I am a general surgeon turned truth seeker and philosopher. I realize that there exist many superstitions in what we study as ‘science’ and which come in the way of Truth. I urge people who call themselves as rationalists and skeptics not to blindly swear by the teachings of ‘science’ but rather continue to remain critical as one would with any other social/religious beliefs. Otherwise the term ‘rational’ would become synonymous with ‘religiousness’, and rationalists would become the religious followers of a religion which portrays itself as Science.

Just by reciting and blindly believing in what is taught as science or by using the latest technology/ gadgets, we can’t claim as being scientific. For us to claim as scientific, we need to correctly understand the Nature. The prevailing notion is that Science, especially physics, is a difficult subject to grasp. But the truth is that true science is never too difficult to understand even for the average minds. To understand Nature, what one requires is just a child’s mind. If students find some science as particularly difficult to comprehend, it is highly likely that they are studying some fake science or mythical stuff. And there is a genuine reason for the prevailing physics phobia amongst the science students. How can we expect children to correctly understand fake science? How can anyone see things that don’t exist unless one deludes or pretends?

Help resurrect true Science and help reestablish peace and harmony in society.

A Simple Explanation for the Red Shift

March 8, 2016 – 3:53 pm

Move a paddle to and fro at a frequency of 10/minute and generate a continuous train of waves in a large pond of still water.

Ask an observer standing in the pond about 5meters away from the source to measure the frequency of the water waves as the waves hit him.

Ask a second observer standing in the pond, say about 20 meters farther from the source, to measure the frequency of the same waves as the waves cross him.

The frequency measured by the first observer would be less than the frequency of oscillation of the paddle. And the frequency measured by the second observer would be even lesser. That is, the farther the observer from the source, the lesser the frequency one measures for the same waves.

And this drop in frequency would occur even when the source and the medium (water) are stationary. In other words, it is n’t because of the Doppler effect.

So unlike what our physics prophets preach, red shift isn’t a proof of a receding source, rather it is a natural phenomenon that occurs as waves propagate in space/medium.

In fact, not only the frequency, but also the velocity and the amplitude of the waves would decrease as waves propagate father and farther from the source. As I have elaborated elsewhere, it is the amplitude (along with frequency) which actually determines a wave’s velocity and not the wavelength.

Wave mechanics is probably the most messed up topic in the entire discipline of physics and that mess-up has what helped the absurd theories of modern physics to flourish in the religious scientific circles.
