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.

George

Namely, this paper:
G. Sagnac, Comptes Rendus de l'Academie des Sciences (Paris) 157, pp.
708-710, 1410-1413 (1913)

The difficulty for Henri is that, if it isn't freely available on the
web, then he's not interested. Henri wants to revolutionize physics,
but if it means raising his rear far enough from his chair to pluck
out his wallet, then it's not worth it to him.

Is it offensive that Henri imagines he *can* revolutionize physics
simply by sitting in his chair and musing, with zero investment? Yes,
of course.
