Sorry, I keep forgetting that you think that cavities can perform magic. ;) >Robin, > I understand the Doppler shift as wavelengths emitted from a moving > source compact or stretch relative to a stationary observer but am not > following why you say nuclei don't travel at relativistic speeds at energies > of a few MeV unless by definition they aren't Gamma rays anymore at lesser > electron volts?

Does time travel faster or slower according to you in such a cavity? If faster then I would expect radiation emitted from it to be blue shifted, otherwise red shifted (energy leaving a heavy gravitational body where time is slowed, is red shifted). Since space time in a cavity is less dense than outside it, I would expect the opposite of a black hole effect. IOW I would expect a blue shift and time flowing faster than in ordinary space. Note however that, if it travels faster, then nuclear reactions should happen faster, and the gamma rays be generated in less time (from an external point of view), so they would be created with a higher frequency to start with, which would exacerbate the blue shift. IOW the gamma coming out of the cavity would be even more energetic than normal. (This has to be wrong (?) or we would be getting energy for nothing; unless we have to return the excess when removing the atom from the cavity by doing work to return it to our rate of time flow.) >Again you are aware of my premise that Casimir cavities create abrupt and >enormous breaks in isotropy - the changes in energy density provides >equivalent acceleration where the nuclei does not even need to be moving >spatially. >Regards >Fran [snip] Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
