GREEN FLASH THROUGH A PRISMOne can see the green flash phenomenon every day in Hawaii, as an example, if the day is clear, and almost every day from Puerta Vallarta (November through May).
The perfect conditions to see a 'green flash' as the sun sets can often be found on your Kauai sunset sails. Perfect conditions generally include a few criteria: seeing the sun set on a flat surface like the surface of the ocean, viewing the sunset from many miles away, having clear and non polluted conditions and having a non cloudy horizon.
Since these conditions happen with such regularity on Kauai it is almost a staple for sunset sail boats here.Mazatlan is one of the very few warm weather destinations where you can regularly see the Green Flash.
Mazatlan is known for it's beautiful sunsets...especially the famous Green Flash, which only occurs regularly in about three places in the world.
The green flash occurs every day, DESPITE the atmospheric conditions, that is, it has nothing to do with atmospherics.
The green flash can be explained in either of two ways:
RE - Green flashes occur because the earth's atmosphere can cause the light from the Sun to separate out into different colors.
FE - A ray of light DOES NOT split into any component colours.
We can narrow down these choices even more:
RE - constant speed of light
FE - variable speed of light
That is, if the speed of light is variable, then we view the green flash through a prism (the dome).
Let's narrow down the choices further:
A superluminal speed of light means a variable speed of light, and thus we are viewing the green flash phenomenon through the dome.
Thus everything comes down to the SAGNAC EFFECT.
If the SAGNAC EFFECT is superluminal, then we view the green flash through a dome.
That is why the KASSNER EFFECT is so important with regard to this crucial issue.
To solve the KASSNER EFFECT, one needs superluminal speeds for the SAGNAC interferometer: c + v and c - v, c + v
1 + v
2 and c - v
1 - v
2.
The KASSNER EFFECT applied to the SAGNAC interferometer immediately proves the existence of superluminal speeds (c + v and c + v
1 + v
2).
Thus we are viewing the green flash through a dome (sunset/sunrise).
Variable speed of light = one is viewing the green flash through a dome

And Einstein ABANDONED HIS CONSTANCY OF LIGHT PRINCIPLE AS EARLY AS 1907.
Only two years after his special relativity postulate, there’s Einstein talking about a speed of light that varies with gravitational potential.
Wikipedia tells us that Einstein, after 1912, gave up on the variable speed of light theory.
Completely false.
1913: “I arrived at the result that the velocity of light is not to be regarded as independent of the gravitational potential. Thus the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light is incompatible with the equivalence hypothesis”.
1915: “the writer of these lines is of the opinion that the theory of relativity is still in need of generalization, in the sense that the principle of the constancy of the velocity of light is to be abandoned”.
1916: “In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity”.
1920: “Second, this consequence shows that the law of the constancy of the speed of light no longer holds, according to the general theory of relativity, in spaces that have gravitational fields. As a simple geometric consideration shows, the curvature of light rays occurs only in spaces where the speed of light is spatially variable”.
The last quote is the English translation of what Einstein said in German in 1916: “die Ausbreitungsge-schwindigkeit des Lichtes mit dem Orte variiert”. That translates to “the propagation speed of light with the place varies”. Einstein never did abandon his variable speed of light.
The KASSNER EFFECT proves superluminal speeds, a variable speed of light.
Official atmospheric physics hypothesis:
Green flashes occur because the earth's atmosphere can cause the light from the Sun to separate out into different colors. Light does not separate into different colors.

The green flash phenomenon can only be caused by the Sun's rays which pass through the aether prism (Dome).
"Newton surmised that when we see a colour spectrum emerge from a prism,
it is due to 'the splitting of light into its component colours'.
If this were the case, then in the photograph below, there should be
a spectrum with GREEN in the middle. Yet, since the aperature through which
the light is shining is large, we get no such spectrum, we only get colour
at the edges. In an attempt to isolate the phenomena, Newton decided to
narrow the aperature which results in the spectrum we are now familiar with,
and which he used as a basis for his Optiks.
What Newton failed to do, was to take a look through the prism.
If you actually do this, the white areas do not split into a rainbow of
colour as might be expected -- you only see colour at the edges of objects.
When light shines through a prism, we are simply projecting a picture
whose aperature has edges -- there is darkness outside this circular patch,
and relatively light within it. We notice that it is at the edges between
the light and dark areas where Colours first make their appearance.
When the aperature is sufficiently small so that the edges meet in
the middle to form the green -- only then can you see a continous spectrum.
A wider aperature brings us to the primal phenomenon -- a reddish/yellow
on some edges, and a bluish/cyan on the others.
The continuous spectrum with green in the middle arises only where
the (blue-cyan and yellow-red) edges come close enough to overlap.
We no longer see the original phenomenon when we make so small a circle
that the colours extend inward from the edges to overlap in the middle
to form what is called a 'continuous spectrum', while with the larger
circle, the colours formed at the edges stay as they are.
Thus, this is the primal phenomenon -- that Colours arise at the borders
where Light and Dark work together, and the Spectrum is a secondary,
compound phenomenon.
In the 1780's a number of statements as to the way colours arise came to
Goethe's notice. Of the prismatic phenomena, it was commonly held by
physicists that when you let colourless light go through a prism the
colourless light is split up. For in some such way the phenomena were
interpreted.
If we let a cylinder of colourless light impinge on the screen, it shows a
colourless picture. Putting a prism in the way of the cylinder of light,
we get the sequence of colours: red, orange, yellow, green, blue - light
blue and dark blue, - violet.
The physicists explain it thus - the colourless light already contains the
seven colours within itself - and when we make the light go through the
prism, the prism really does no more than to fan out and separate what is
already there in the light, - the seven colours, into which it is thus
analyzed.
A look through the prism shows that we do not see the light in seven
colours. The only place you can see any colour is at some edge or
border-line.
If we let light pass through the space of the room, we get a white circle
on a screen. Put a prism in the way, and the cylinder of light is
diverted, but what appears is not the series of seven
colours at all, only a reddish colour at the lower edge, passing over into
yellow, and at the upper edge a blue passing over into greenish shades. In
the middle it stays white.
Goethe now said to himself: It is not that the light is split up or that
anything is separated out of the light as such. In point of fact, I am
projecting a picture, - simply an image of this circular aperture. The
aperture has edges, and where the colours occur the reason is not that
they are drawn out of the light, as though the light had been split up
into them. It is because this picture which I am projecting - the picture
as such - has edges. Here too the fact is that where light adjoins dark,
colours appear at the edges. It is none other than that. For there is
darkness outside this circular patch of light, while it is relatively
light within it.
The colours therefore, to begin with, make their appearance purely and
simply as phenomena at the border between light and dark. This is the
original, the primary phenomenon. We are no longer seeing the original
phenomenon when by reducing the circle in size we get a continuous
sequence of colours. The latter phenomenon only arises when we take so
small a circle that the colours extend inward from the edges to the
middle. They then overlap in the middle and form what we call a continuous
spectrum, while with the larger circle the colours formed at the edges
stay as they are. This is the primal phenomenon. Colours arise at the
borders, where light and dark flow together.
Subsequent to this, Goethe's went on to make more exact observations
which further call this 'splitting up of the light' by a prism into question:
- Begin with a circular slit from which Light shines through a PRISM.
- Light is deflected upwards.
- The projection is not an exact circle, but rather elongated.
- The upper portion is edged with Blue.
- The lower portion is edged with Red.
- Taking into account the observation that Light passing through
any medium is dimmed. In this case, there is a dimming of light
within the prism.
- Therefore, we have to do not only with the cone of light that is here
bent and deflected, but also with this new factor - the dimming
of the light brought about by matter.
- Into the space beyond the prism not only the light is shining,
but there shines in, there rays into the light the quality of dimness
that is in the prism.
- This dimming is deflected upward in the same direction as the light.
- Here then we are dealing with the interaction of two things:
i) the brightly shining light, itself deflected,
ii) then the sending into it of the darkening effect that is poured
into this shining light. Only the dimming and darkening effect is
here deflected in the same direction as the light.
- The Outcome is that in the upward region the bright light is infused
and irradiated with dimness, and by this means the dark or bluish colours
are produced.
- Downwards, the light outdoes and overwhelms the darkness and there arise
the yellow shades of colour.
- Simply through the fact that the prism on the one hand deflects the full
bright cone of light and on the other hand also deflects the dimming of it,
we have the two kinds of entry of the dimming or darkening into the light.
We have an interplay of dark and light, not getting mixed to give a grey but
remaining mutually independent in their activity.
- The material prism plays an essential part in the arising of the
colours. For it is through the prism that it happens, namely that on the
one hand the dimming is deflected in the same direction as the cone of
light, while on the other hand, because the prism lets its darkness ray
there too, this that rays on and the light that is deflected cut across
each other. For that is how the deflection works down here. Downward, the
darkness and the light are interacting in a different way than upward.
Colours therefore arise where dark and light work together."
In the local-ether model, the speed of light is variable.
Here is the green flash being observed in the radiant energy discharged by a capacitor:
The green flash means the sunlight passes through a prism (dome).
A ray of light DOES NOT split into any component colours.

In order to explain refraction, in fact, Newton's Opticks (1704) postulated an "Aethereal Medium" transmitting vibrations faster than light, by which light (when overtaken) is put into "Fits of easy Reflexion and easy Transmission" (causing refraction and diffraction).
RE - Green flashes occur because the earth's atmosphere can cause the light from the Sun to separate out into different colors.
FE - A ray of light DOES NOT split into any component colours.
