	William Light - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Colonel William Light (1786 - 1839) was born in Kuala Kedah, Malaya in 1786, an illegitimate son of Captain Francis Light, the Governor of Penang, and Martina Rozells, the so-called "Princess of Kedah" of mixed Siamese-Portuguese descent.
		Light spoke several languages and was an artist, many of his sketches were published in London in 1823 and 1828.
		Light's design for Adelaide is noted as one of the last great planned metropolises; the city's grid layout, interspaced by public squares, has made it an ideal modern city, able to cope with traffic, and the Adelaide Parklands that surround, provide a "city in a park" feel.

	The Wave Theory of Light. Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin). 1909-14. Scientific Papers. The Harvard Classics
		The wave-length of light is the distance from crest to crest of the wave, or from hollow to hollow.
		Plane-polarised light is light with the vibrations all in a single plane, perpendicular to the plane through the ray which is technically called the “plane of polarisation.” Circularly polarised light consists of undulations of luminiferous ether having a circular motion.
		Light is always polarised when it is reflected from a plate of unsilvered glass, or from water, at a certain definite angle of fifty-six degrees for glass, fifty-two degrees for water, the angle being reckoned in each case from a perpendicular to the surface.

	BEYOND THE SPEED OF LIGHT by William F. Hamilton copyright 1980, 1997
		Using the Huygens principle, we see that the angle of reflection of light on a moving mirror is a function of the velocity of the mirror.
		A test of light speed could be made if some object holding a measuring device could accelerate to some sizable fraction of light speed, say.5c, and test the speed of an electromagnetic emission from this object through space to a reflection point and back to the object from the reference frame of the moving object.
		If the light barrier can be broken by some sort of inertial drive, a drive that changes the resistance of the ether, reducing that resistance in a forward direction, then the velocity of an object may, indeed, exceed the measured velocity of light.
