THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "TRUE" AND THE "FALSE" DOPPLER EFFECT
OF LIGHT.

When looking at distance stars and galaxies, a red shift is
observed in the received light. In present cosmological
theories, this effect is interpreted as a dopplereffect of
receeding objects. Objects beeing far from us are supposed
to travel faster than those objects beeing more near us,
that as an effect of the "Big Bang".

Case 1)
The true doppler effect is associated with an active aether
medium, transporting the energy from source to receiver.
In this case the medium limits the transmission velocity.

Case 2)
Supposing a pure particle source ,the velocities of those
particles are determined by the output velocity related to the
source plus the source's velocity in relation to  this system
where the measurements are done.

Let's calculate the "true" doppler effect in case 1 and the
"false" doppler effect in case 2.

Case 1)
wt = wavelength as produced by the transmitter
wr = wavelength as measured by the receiver side
ft = frequency of the transmitter = 1/dt
c  = propagation velocity of wave in aether
vt = velocity of the transmitter related to the aether
vr = velocity of the receiver related to the aether
dt = time interval between two transmitted pulses


At the transmitter side : wt = dt.c - dt.vt
At the receiver side    : wr = wt + vr.dt       giving

                          wr = c/fo.(1- (vt-vr)/c)

Case 2)
In this case, there is no aether. The particles are sent out with
velocity "c" in relation to the source and having the velocity
c+vt as measured in an outer system in which the source move with
velocity vt.

For the transmitter side :   wt = dt.(c+vt) - dt.vt = dt.c =
c/fo = constant
Hence, in the particle case, we get no wavelength shift on the
transmitter side.

The receiver side: The time for an interval to pass the reciever
moving with velocity vr in relation to a common reference ( the
same as for the transmitter):

                      wt
                tr = ---------  = 1/f
                     c+ vt-vr

From that :     f = fo.( 1 + (vt-vr)/c)

Conclusion: If light is transported in aether, the doppler shift is
a true doppler effect, giving shift in wavelength.

If light is a stream of particles, the doppler shift is a false
effekt, giving shift in frequency. Hence, it may be possible to
determine the true essens of the nature of light in this way.
The doppler effect in the particle case is received beqause of
an invarians in transmitting velocity in relation to the receiving
system.

However, the thesis of the invariant velocity of light is only true
in case of aether and not for particle.
