One can but be impressed by this clear and coherent
explanation of why Sagnac does not falsify the emission theory.

Well done, Androcles.

Thank you, tusselad. You didn't know that to rotate a turntable
A x
x x
it would look like this:
x x
A x
and then this:
x x
x A,
did you?

The fringe shifts are caused by he different angles of approach by both beams
at the eyepiece.
Light has its own built-in gyro in the form of an 'axis'.

The ballistic theory does not encompass the sagnac effect.

The angle between the two beams when they reunite is considerable.
It is that angle which causes the fringe shift.

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

What you see as phase shifts are just slight anomalies caused by poor viewing

Prove Einstein wrong? How? Lotsa stuff packed into his life. Like,
did you prove he bought a losing lottery ticket??????????
