Flyby anomaly by light of superluminal

Abstract  The observer contracts isotropically due to the rotation of the earth, and experiences superluminal light propagation (fly-by anomaly). What is the Flyby Anomaly? The flyby anomaly is a discrepancy between current scientific models and the actual increase in speed (i.e. increase in kinetic energy) observed during a planetary flyby (usually of Earth) by a spacecraft. In multiple cases, spacecraft have been observed to gain greater speed than scientists had predicted, but thus far no convincing explanation has been found. This anomaly has been observed as shifts in the S-band and X-band Doppler and ranging telemetry. The largest discrepancy noticed during a flyby has been 13 mm/s.[1] Possible explanations There have been a number of proposed explanations of the flyby anomaly, including: ・It has been postulated that the Flyby Anomaly is a consequence of the assumption that the speed of light is isotropic in all frames, and invariant in the method used to measure the velocity of

Correct formulation of wave-particle duality

 Here, I explain the  formulation (w=f λ=h f/[m C]) of wave-particle duality using the quantum hypothesis (E=h f) and the equivalence principle of light's momentum   (p=h f/C=M C=m w). w: wave speed, f: frequency, λ: wavelength, h: Planck's constant, p: light's momentum, m: inertial mass, C: speed of light, E: energy, M: Gravitational mass.

In 1924, de Broglie , in his dissertation "Studies in Quantum Theory", presented a hypothesis of matter waves based on relativistic considerations. He postulated that a mass of energy with a rest mass m₀ has internal oscillations of the frequency ν₀ determined by the formula hν₀ = m₀c², and a moving body of momentum p has a hypothetical incidental wave determined by the formula h/ν = p. The  wave rays is in the direction of the orbit of the moving body, and its group velocity is equal to
