Two cars driving along the road, the first moving at 30m/s
and the second moving at 40m/s, closing speed 10m/s. The
first has a head start of 200m. The second car catches the
first when the first car has moved 600m and the second has
travelled 800m.

To find the time, you divide the separation at the start
by the closing speed, 200 / 10 = 20s. "Closing speed" is
the rate at which the separation is decreasing. What you
try to do below is divide the 600m by 10m/s which gives
you the wrong answer.

No. To get the time taken, you use the separation between
the source and mirror at the instant the light is emitted.
That is simply the distance measured when the table is not
rotating. That distance is unchanged by the rotation and
as you said the closing speed is always c so the time is
also unchanged by rotation.

You have again proved that Ritz predicts a null result.

I am happy to accept what you have again proved, Ritz
predicts a null result for Sagnac.

Right, and that gives a null prediction.

No, see the example of the cars above to learn how to use
closing speed correctly.

OK.

Considering that we are discussing Algol which
according to conventional theory is an eclipsing binary,
that is a pretty stupid statement, isn't it? :-)

You know, Henri, conventional theory have a very simple
explanation for why the light curves are different in IR
and visible light. Have you forgotten that I calculated it
for you?

The BaT cannot explain that.
Yet another falsification of the BaT.

It's kind of sad that you are too stupid to understand
how stupid this is.

But of course, if you weren't that stupid, you wouldn't
have written it.

No. 'c' is the closing speed of the beam and the next mirror, the direction of
which is 45 degrees. The beam is not the horizontal one. It is angled slightly
downwards to meet the mirror in its new position. The distance is greater than
in the non-rotating case.

George, at what speed (in the table frame) is the light reflected from the
first mirror towards the next mirror?

It does not...and stop repeating something you would like to be true but isn't.
I realize you are trying desperately to convince yourself but you aren't
impressing me.

I now think it might predict a fringe shift of 1/root2 times the classical one.
That would be near enough to the same.

No the path lengths are distinctly different in either direction.

That is a linear example. Sagnac involves 45 degrees.

I wasn't refering to that aspect.
I was refering to "but closing speed is NOT the speed they see".

It is also consistent with my 'reverse field bubble' theory.

No stars are moving at anywhere near c wrt any other stars.

Think of molecules in a gas at 3K. What is the probability of one moving at c?

So what causes light pulses from two differently moving sources to traverse
space together?
1) Is it due to an absolute a property of space or an Einstein postulate?
2) Is it not what really happens?
