Right.

I never try the impossible.

Right.

I do however have the required intelligence to see
that you are contradicting yourself.

How is your foot, Henri? :-)

No that's not the cycle of a single photon. That involves 'group phasing'.

No bob. Read the question.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.

And how big a fool(or coward), does it take to rabbit on about
EARTH rotation, when the issue has NOTHING to do with that?
We are discussing the rotation of an axle perpendicular to the earth,
and the earth rotation has nothing to do with the scenario;
ONLY the difference in gravity.

I don't expect you to answer-----you cannot!
