Neutron star collisions and the One Way Speed of Light
Does the Observation of Gravitational Waves from Two Neutron Star–Black Hole Coalescences Confirm the One-Way Speed of Light? Jeremiah 33:25 Thus says the Lord, 'If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established, Job 38:19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light?.. That you may take it to its territory And that you may discern the paths to its home? The observation of gravitational waves from two neutron star–black hole coalescences in 2020 was a major breakthrough in astrophysics. It was the first time that gravitational waves had been detected from such a system, and it provided new insights into the nature of these extreme objects. One of the most intriguing aspects of these observations is that they seem to confirm the one-way speed of light. The speed of light is a fundamental constant of nature, and it is the same in all frames of reference. This means that, regardless of how fast you are moving, light will a...
