Hello, DRA,
A few quick questions and comments on your last post.

I think I need to subscribe to that mag; I had not heard of it. Is that a 'recent' premier'. Or, has it been sitting on your shelf for a while?

Welllllll, No. Not really! Time is not a constant. In our little corner of the universe, time is perceived to be 'fairly constant'. But, just as light itself has not been "truly" 'tacked down' as being constant, neither has time or gravity, or any specific rung on the 'electromagnetic spectrum'; as they can ALL be stretched, or compressed in much the same way. Only different! But, different enough, that we can distinguish specific characteristics, actions, reactions, and interactions, in order to give those specific things names.
Time is truly 'flexible' and that is NOT just a perception. If time, or it's measurability were just perceptions, rather than a 'precept'; then the physical world would be a MUCH different place, than we know it. As Charles Shultz once had Linus say: "Time is God's way, of keeping everything from happening, all at once!" I often wonder if Charles knows, just how profound that statement is, as applied to the basic understanding of 'how things really work'.
I will pick up a couple of other points, on each of these topics, further on down; as I give my intermittent explanations.

You are on a very interesting track, and to a very limited degree, there are indeed waves involved, (in an 'overall, interdependent, multidimensional, harmonic manner'); but, you have allowed your conclusions, to get WAY ahead' of the facts! And, you're about to de-rail! (That spelling is "doppler", by the way.)
I believe you have that backwards, it is the moving clock, which would register a slower time - 'relative to', stationary clocks on the earth.
I have been preparing a post, that I will send soon; which I hope you will find informative, and very helpful, in putting all of these concepts together. I really concentrate on 'Definitions' of basic premises. This list could really use some standardization of terms, to distinguish, one paradigm from another. As it is now, most everyone here can say something in a general manner, using the definitions they have in their head; yet they are really being interpreted in a multitude of ways, by the others on the list, who have radically different, definitions in their own mental databases. I believe I can help 'a lot' in this area, on several levels; as well as help communicate my own theories in a manner, that will be understood, the way I need them to be interpreted, for others to see how things work together in my paradigm. Whether anyone chooses to agree, or disagree with me; until we are all on the same 'frequency (so-to-speak), accurate and efficient communication of our thoughts, is really impossible. And, that doesn't really happen here on a regular basis. NO slur, just an observation.

I will forward your request on to a gentleman, who may be able to help in that regard; but, he is very busy, traveling the world, consulting on some mind boggling electronic projects. Don't know when, or if he can get to your problem. At the last inventor's meeting he presented his latest 'thing', which is helping to develop the patent on 'plasma antennas', for stealth applications. Really simple, but heady stuff! Basically, it's modulating the plasma in a set of parabolic shaped 'neon like' tubes, of horizontal and vertical arrays, to both send and receive short burst digital communications. Then, when it is turned off, the antenna 'disappears' for all intents, and purposes! Glass tubes don't show up on radar!
