Deja Vous Change

In view of the previous post "Like Doppler" dated 15 Jan 2018, the expression,

\(\Delta t*v_s=\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}*v_s=S\) --- (*)

from the post "Light Speed Back In Time" also dated 15 Jan 2018, might change to,

\(\Delta t*v_s=\left(1-\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}\right)*v_s=S\) --- (**)

The former expression (*) suggests an absolute change in \(t\) and the latter expression (**) might suggest a relative change in \(t\) with respect to the photon that remains at light speed \(c\).  But consider this;

if

\(1-\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}=\cfrac{\Delta}{\text{refer.}}\)

\(\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}=\Delta\)

then,

\(\text{refer.}=\cfrac{\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}}{1-\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c}}=\cfrac{v_{boom}}{c-v_{boom}}\)

Which reminds of the expressions,

\(E=mc\int ^{c}_{v_{boom}}{ dv }\)

quoted in the post "Like Doppler", originally from the post "No Poetry for Einstein" dated 06 Apr 2014;  and,

\(E=mc\int ^{c}_{c-v_{boom}}{ dv }\)

This implies that \(\text{refer.}\) is with reference to the a photon at speed \(c-v_{boom}\) instead of \(c\).  ie the situation when \(v_{boom}\) flips sign.  Given \(v_{boom}\), numerically, it is possible that,

\(c-v_{boom}\)  and \(c+v_{boom}\)

that the torus collapse to a photon going in the opposite direction.

Expression (*) should be used, where \(c\) is the reference.
