see: The Babcock and Bergman small effect and the O' Connell effect and dual Champ satellite orbit results proved Einstein wrong long ago, but nobody dared to tell us.
Abstract. If the orbits of close binary stars are circular, and the light speed is NOT influenced by the speed of the stars, we have to expect that the light curves are symmetrical between moments of eclipse or even conjunction. However, This is mostly not the case and still an ongoing debate in astronomy and called the “O ‘Connell effect”. According to Quantum FFF Theory, however I assume that the local light speed around the stars is gravity related for a mass related distance from the source (star) called LASOF ellipsoid, (Local Asymmetrical Oscillating vacuum Frame) As a result the so called O ‘Connell effect can easily be explained as a logic result of additional redshift or blueshift by the local lightspeed variation. At the same time also planets should show such lightspeed extinction effects, which is already measured but not understood by I.I.Shapiro (see “radar astronomy” edition by Evans and Hagfors, 1964).
As a consequence, Einstein’s Special relativity rules do not hold.
Introduction.
If we look at the apparent magnitude of eclipsing binary stars we can discriminate two equally spaced peak magnitudes at point 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 (fig 1). This is always explained by the fact that the smaller star is mostly hotter ( brighter) and the result is that if the smaller star eclipses (behind the larger star) the minimum peak is larger than the following peak, which is called the Primary eclipse. The secondary eclipse and minimal magnitude peak is of course related to the opposite eclipse situation, that the larger star is eclipsing behind the smaller star. The O’Connell effect is related to this difference in the apparent magnitudes in between the two minimal peaks, which makes the figure asymmetric.. .
I would like to promote the idea, that there could be "magic" transition from real rigid string particle into a vacuum wave form after about 1 cm trajectory..
"Short distances are important for a dissident particle wave duality interpretation based on an old experiment of Babcock and Bergman (1964). and Anti Maxwell effect around a wire.
Babcock and Bergman did measure in 1964, only a small positive influence of the light source speed (glass window),
which was too small for comfort there ideas about the direct relation between the light source and the lightspeed.
The addition of the glass windows to the lightspeed was measured "only" 0.7percent over a trajectory of 1,45 meter!
However I would propose a logic Quantum solution, if a new kind of particle wave duality could be responsible for “the small” effect.
After emitting a real Quantum photon ( suggested to be a rigid string particle with a specific form or quantum architecture) travelling over about 1 cm trajectory, then the photon is supposed to be absorbed by the local oscillating Axion-Higgs field and will travel as information unit with the local speed of light ( of the Axion-Higgs field)."
