Stare at the sun a bit (OK, don't actually do it). That is direct light. Same as if you look directly at a light bulb.
It does not.
I agree it does make that assumption.
Thats rich….when science is presented with something that is unfalsifiable they simply make assumptions. To say science doesn’t have a standpoint is ludicrous, perhaps ignorant. Science is very much based on assumptions at every level. It is unfalsifiable for you to say light is isotopic. Without being able to test the speed of 1 way light. But science can make more assumptions. Oh yeah you call it the simplest and most logical explanation. It sounds like you’ve become like many other have become. A tool for science. Your talking points tow the line for sure. I’m not saying that to ridicule you or demean you. It’s what I see most people doing - accepting science, taking their selective evidence, turning the assumptions into facts….and then ridicule anyone that see between the lines and simply makes comments that those assumptions are not facts and the assumptions by themselves should carry little to no weight.
Yeah I see a bright light and that’s all I see. Now take a look at your family, at a rose garden, look at your favorite car, your lawn after it’s been mowed. That is reflected light. If you don’t see a difference then I’ll keep it friendly and just say you want to argue for no reason.
Ok, so it (the measurement of the difference in time) wouldn't be the same exact percentage as the same exact percentage of the speed of light that we were traveling both ahead of us and behind us both ways, since those are different, but are still supposed to be the same both ways, etc, but if maybe it was the same exact percentage of the same exact percentage it was supposed to be both ahead of us and behind us both ways?
Ok I apologize I misunderstood which person’s perspective the 86% speed of light was in reference to.
That the speed of light is taken (or assumed) as being Isotropic, is well supported by all the test evidence underpinning Special Relativity (SR).
The assumptions being discusssed ARE treated in logic as facts because of the independent verfiability of the SR test results.
Nice try but it’s not verifiable and unfalsafiable. Sounds like you may be a tool for science too. Evidence does not equal it’s true. Just because the evidence is verifiable doesn’t make what you out to prove verifiable. Selective science at its finest.
I wasn’t talking about light bouncing between mirrors. Perhaps I missed that part of the discussion before I commented. I was talking about turning on a light on earth that would be powerful enough to be seen from mars which would travel out in all directions, but I suppose you’d still have to factor in the speed of both planets into the equation which is well beyond my capacity to comprehend. I also wonder if the movement of our solar system within the galaxy would also play a role, I’m guessing it would which would complicate the calculation even further.
I am so relieved you are not out to demean me after referring to me as being ignorant, ludicrous and a tool of science; I’d hate to be on the receiving end if you were truly out to demean me.

You are traveling at 86% light speed to a distance ten light minutes away, it adds 1.14 more minutes in both the trip there, and 1.14 minutes on the way back, etc. Which also adds slightly more time, which is why you'll only be 45% to 40% younger then the rest of the people on earth, as opposed to the 50% that time slowed down for you, etc.
The point I was making was to give you a physical interpretation of time dilation which not about perceptions or optical illusions.
I don’t think this is worded correctly. If time appears to be half speed traveling away from the earth at 86% speed of light then traveling back towards earth at 86% speed would make time appear to be double speed, not 172% speed. But again this is not actually altering time because regardless of what speed you travel in any direction you’re not actually affecting clocks on earth or on your space ship. When you’re traveling away from a clock at the speed of light the only reason it appears to stop is because you’re traveling the exact same speed as light. Think of it like a projector that is passing frames of pictures by at the speed of light. If you travel at the speed of light you’re traveling the same speed as each frame so they’re not passing by you anymore so it doesn’t look like a moving video it looks like a single still image. So your only seeing one frame but behind that frame there’s still every single frame lined up following behind you that you can’t see. All of those frames still took place, therefore time never actually stopped, it just looks like it did from your perspective. If time actually stopped if you flew at the speed of light for 10 minutes you’d have to wait another 10 minutes before you actually saw the clock move again because the light would’ve stopped. If light travels at 299,792,458 meters per second and time actually stopped that would mean that for 10 minutes zero seconds went by and therefore the light didn’t actually move anywhere, you would’ve left it behind and technically the clock would be appearing to go backwards because you’d be traveling at an infinite speed, your speed would be absolutely instantaneous. Any distance you travel while time is stopped is instantaneous. So you’d actually be traveling faster than the speed of light which means you’d be passing the frames that were in front of you and the clock would appear to go backwards.
You only said that it adds 1.14 minutes, you didn’t explain why.
Do you understand what I was saying? If time actually stopped while you were traveling at the speed of light the light would also stop. So you would be traveling at an instantaneous speed since you’re changing your position in zero time. So you would end up passing the light that was in front of you when you left which would make the clock appear to go backwards.
