What assumptions and theories you are using to calculate your errorbar???? Do you assume that the leading edge of a light ray will hit the small distant target? Do you use SR to calculate your errorbar???

But not in physics. Cahill doesn't even know the equation that gives the speed of light in moving media. This is what fucks up his papers. Every time, like clockwork. After he gets the fucked up theory he gets the faked out experimental data. It is that simple, Reg.

Still trying to learn physics from this NG, Reg? Unfortunately Tom is going to be generous again and tell you what you fucked up experimentally. I told you some time ago what you fucked up in the theoretical part. |
