Einsteins light box imaginary experiment
The light box imaginary experiment is misleading and inconclusive because: 1. It is an immaginary experiment, and produces whatever Einstein's imagination wants to 2. Light is a wave, not a projectile like particle. Einstein treats it as the latter, which is plain wrong. 3. If light is a wave then its speed relative to the box doesnt change and does not add to the speed of the box, so it doesnt hit it faster or slower, like a ball would. 4. Did I mention light is a wave and that an observer or a box cant chase it ? The box cant chase the 'photon', as if light was a particle. 5. Because the light is encased in the box, there are no Doppler shifts and the energy of light remains unchanged. Light is a WAVE, and a wave always travels at the same speed c no matter how fast the source or observer are moving. How can the box move away or toward the light wave, if no matter how you move the box, the wave still moves at the same speed ? It looks like Einstein was treating ligh...
