Relativistic Effects Upon Information

Hi Lloyd,

I see many of the concepts of logic within my own mental methodologies and thought processes as with the algorithmic ways I process information, resolve problems and such. If I had to characterize my general overall method of scientific exploration I’d say that my thoughts contain the largest collection of information from my studies which I can continuously maintain, similar to a mental pool of information. From this pool I draw conclusions (abduction) from the collection of information whereby I further support or discredit such conclusions by both inductive and deductive methods of further examination of more generalized analysis of the original pool of information along with new information which might come by way of study which is added to the information pool. This is seen with my frequent inference of an underlying universal symmetry which all physical aspects and processes are satisfying which would allow a method of micro to macro unification of forces and such as though the physical asymmetries we find in nature are preservation aspects of a much deeper symmetry with forces being the unbalanced transition of states through time to accomplish such balance. Find what aspect is being balance, and you find the need for the imbalance of all other aspects. From this abduction aspect, I further inductively and deductively investigate the many ideas and information within my thoughts which I’ve gathered to support, deny or direct a further hypothesis. It is from the many occurrences of such symmetries within the details of the many scientific physical process which I’ve studied that I further infer its presence as a defining attribute of the whole, but the very details which at some point inferred such must further support such abductive reasoning when all physical aspects of the process are further compounded or arrived at by further dismantling of a larger composite aspect.

In other cases, such as the resolution to a problem at work or the most efficient way to execute a task, I systematically consider my access to resources such as tools and equipment, then I factor every way to execute the task as there are often many different scenarios. At this point, I examine the pros and cons of the various methods and reach a conclusion for the most appropriate in terms of efficiency, effort, etc. Once all aspects are considered I take the path which best satisfies all aspects of the mental program which has been running. Often times, certain aspects, such as safety, outweigh efficiency and such, while also often times outputting a decision to acquire more tools and such to meet the requirements. Many of the concepts of logical reasoning are second nature to me to the point that many of the more general concepts are just intuitive to me, while I admittedly get lost with the more complex aspects of the discipline. I’ve never had a big interest in it, as I am more inclined to spend my thoughts on mechanical analysis and such, which effects my ability to apply the focus needed to get farther along with it.

Speaking of mechanics, I’m currently considering the relativistic effects of Doppler shifts of not only the frequency of EM waves due to near c acceleration, but more so the encoded information of frequency modulated carrier waves. I don’t recall much information on this aspect as a means to establish some form of an absolute ruler and clock amongst various frames of reference so as often is the case for my statements, as I spend more time in thought than study, these concepts are original to my mind. As always, you’ll have to direct me of any established information on such.

What I’m thinking is that we need to move the Doppler shift aspects of acceleration from the visible portion of the spectrum in terms of mere color distortions and apply it to the transmission and reception of information within the radio frequency range. It is possible that encoding information within an EM signal, such as a transmitted radio wave gives it an absolute time and distance stamp which can be deciphered amongst various frames of reference moving at various velocities. I’m considering that this might be a factor due to the effects of the solid state electronic aspects of the receiver undergoing physical changes within one reference frame due to acceleration vs. that of the EM signal produced by way of a transmitter within another frame. There is a link between Doppler shifts and physical contraction aspects within this thought experiment as most all velocity related aspects are perhaps captured within this scenario. Are the state changes symmetrical throughout all forms and states of FS whereby no change is noticeable or would we perhaps be able to distinguish variances in such state changes whereby the shifts of EM waves are different than that of the atomic QM aspects which govern the receiver. For instance, would we find that a song transmitted on a radio station of say 101 MHz within one frame would be received at a shifted value of another station operating at another frequency within a faster/slower moving frame? Would there be no variance at all within this aspect? What I’m really interested in is our application of meaning to such encoding as with the question of whether aspects of the song itself change through the modulation and demodulation aspects of the process. Perhaps it would be just static by way of losing its audible meaning once output back to the lower audible frequencies. I know that the proportions of the modulated transmitted wave would stay unchanged as though still maintaining the characteristics of the encoded information, but how we experienced these proportions or frequency modulations of the wave would be effected by our acceleration along with the direction of the source from our direction of travel. A near 2c collision of a transmitted signal with a receiver would be experienced differently than a signal which is catching up to an accelerated frame as with the animations I provided the other day of the measure of the velocity of light. I would compare such concepts with aspects of music itself. A song performed upon a guitar is a sequence of notes as is the encoded EM wave, thus changing the reception velocity could relate to playing at a higher or lower octave which merely changes the pitch of the song, while the song still maintains its original meaning. Aspects of the direction of reception could relate to the tempo of a performed song. Mainly I’m exploring the concept that being as c is absolute, then the information we encode within it is chiseled in stone in a sense to pass through all frames at it propagates. The abstract meanings we apply to these sequenced waves allow us an examination of a group of waves in terms of giving them characteristics (other than just instantaneous color as with visible light shifts) which can be observed directly. It is the translation of these meanings within the modulation and demodulation aspects of the instrument and such amongst various reference frames along with the translation aspect of meaning itself if the instrument changes are symmetrical which I am exploring. Encoded sequenced information in the form of remote control and system observation over vast distances such as the pioneer spacecraft and such would be in question here also as velocity became a factor. We must also consider the equivalency of the gravitational effects upon such dynamics as with a massive bodies ability to alter the transmission and reception of encoded information. This is perhaps an aspect of the pioneer anomaly itself, as system information and the control thereof are perhaps dependent upon the intensity of the gravitational field in which they find themselves. A change in velocity isn’t necessary to produce a perceived change in such by way of merely manipulating the method by which such a velocity state is observed. If all you know about a system is by way of EM encoded communication, and such communication is sensitive to aspects which change due to such other aspects as your distance from a massive body or extreme velocity changes, then it doesn’t have to be our knowledge of the force of gravity which is wrong, but rather our knowledge of the effects of such upon communication aspects. Just thinking out loud and off the top of my head again.

P.S. just remembered that many atomic clocks are actually radio receivers running off of shortwave radio signals. In this scenario, the encoded information is a timing aspect itself. With little thought given here, this should imply a variation in the time reference of such an instrument dependent upon the Doppler shift due to approaching or fleeing the signal source, which would cause such an instrument to actually be in disagreement with the average slowing analog clock due to near c acceleration. Perhaps if such is the case, two or more standard transmitted sources would allow a temporal triangulation scenario whereby accomplishing an absolute clock which could adjust itself to keep proper time between various frames whereby establishing simultaneity by way of calculating the received frequency differences within such signals which were known to be actually equivalent signals at lower relative velocities. I'm sure this has been covered somewhere, but I can't recall any reference material on such.
