	Dowdye is an emission theorist, perhaps the only one still active and operating on the planet today. There hasn,t been an emission theorist since the famed Walter Ritz (1878-1909) who pioneered the important fundamentals of electromagnetism. Dowdye's formulated his emission theory, the Extinction Shift Principle, with pure classical ideas born out of the correct principles of optics, using Galilean transformations of velocities in Eucliden Space Geometry. Unlike other emission theories, the Extinction Shift Principle applies to both gravitation as well as electromagnetism and challenges both the General and Special Relativity theories.
