After reading up on the [I]extensive[I] information posted specifically on a design for a 'light accelerator' that was plaguing my head, I have a question.

Understanding that light waves cannot be affected by EM or EMR (as photons have neither charge nor resting mass) and that fields cannot be 'bent' by other fields I have arrived at my next proposal.

What about the field interference on an oscillating, polarized, and accelerated fashion with staggered strengths of interference? Would, in effect, the field itself be accelerated?

As light travels through such an accelerated field, is it possible to accelerate such motion beyond the constants of light?

Perhaps I am grasping at straws here...

PS... This is not referring to the above rotating situation, rather linear acceleration. Also the medium would be of the gaseous type. The threads I was attempting to comment on also seemed to disappear after posting. This is more under the umbrella, DOES light bend under the effects of magnetism.
