So that approach is not valid. But this conflicts with your below where you said merely that so far no one has succeeded in measuring one-way anisotropy. I have no idea why you think I said that. There are numerous experiments that measure an anisotropy in the one-way speed of light. Their measurements are all consistent with zero to within their experimental resolution. So people HAVE succeeded in measuring the one-way anisotropy, it's just that the result is consistent with zero. All of these experiments have resolutions much better than the earth's orbital speed, and many are much better than the earth's rotational speed. What do ME and the PoR say about clock synchronization? Nothing, really. The ME are implicitly written in terms of inertial coordinates; the PoR does not mention clocks at all. The ME says that light's speed through space is always c. This is not a coordinate value. Yes it most definitely is a coordinate value. That's what the equations mean. I think that you'll have a hard time convincing folks that Maxwell predicted a null result for the Michelson-Morley experiment. (As the story goes, every able-minded physicist firmly and solidly predicted a positive result.) You are reading what I wrote inadequately. Maxwell did not predict a null result -- he derived his equations in the context of an aether, and in his theory they apply ONLY in inertial coordinates in which the aether is at rest. One then applies the GALILEAN transform to a moving frame, and that quite clearly predicts anisotropy; applied to the MMX this implies a NON-null result. Roberts Roberts you are getting more and more honest. Yes, originally, Maxwell predicts that the speed of light is VARIABLE - it varies with the speed of the observer (relative to the aether). Yet your brothers in Einstein criminal cult are not getting honest Roberts Roberts: http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae558.cfm "Question: I heard that the speed of light is the same to any observer, no matter how fast he moves, and that the faster you move, speed of light is still the same relative to you. Is this true, and why? Answer: As far as we can tell, it does appear to be true that the speed of light is the same for all observers. This fact was predicted by Maxwell when he united the electric and magnetic forces into one. From his equations it was possible to calculate that the resulting electromagnetic field travels at a constant speed relative to all observers." Pentcho Valev |
