In the MMX the light source rotates as the apparatus is rotated. Any

fringe
shift (non-null result) as the apparatus is rotated means the speed

of
light
is anisotropic in the plane of the light rays and no fringe shift

(null
result) as the apparatus is rotated means that speed of light is

anisotropic
in that plane of the light rays.

There is no anisotropy. That is the point. It is your inability to
understand what Pound and Rebka showed.


The Pound and Rebka experiments show that gravitational red shift in the
vertical direction. Gravutational red shift is due to anisotropy of the
speed of light. Anisotropy of the speed of light is due to the source

and
the detector in different heights are in different state of absolute

motion.

No they show the CHANGE in energy due to interaction with a
gravitational potential - no change in velocity!


Hey idiot ....detected CHANGE in energy is due to the source and the
detector have different potentials. Change in velocity is real if the
wavelength is hold constant.
