Say, didn't you say you were born with a scientific mind? Don't you
recognize this procedure? Hint: It has something to do with the
scientific method.


Here's the relativists method:
1) Make an assumption. Do not attempt to prove or find evidence for
assumption.


I suggest Henry should first read the exact wording
of Einstein's postulate, then read the conclusion
of Sagnac's 1913 paper.
