Look at section 3.3 Tests of Light Speed from Moving Sources.

Not one experiment there confirms your belief that c isn't a constant
for moving sources.

Just one experiment showing that c isn't a constant in a vacuum would
mean fame its discoverer.

Come, join us in 2010, there's no need to stand there, wet and
shivering in the cold of 1905 ;)

Well, let's see. If relativity predicts things will slow by 24.7% and
things slow by 24.7%, including the clock on the spaceship, and
chemical processes in the brother, and the oscillation of a spring,
then it is very likely that the reason is because relativity is
correct. To surmise that this is not what's going on, and that zero-G
environment is what causes the chemical processes to slow by 24.7%
(even though there is no quantitative prediction of that), and that
artificially replenished air is what causes the clock to slow by 24.7%
(even though there is no quantitative prediction of that), and that
cosmic rays is what causes the spring oscillation to slow by 24.7%
(even though there is no quantitative prediction of that), borders on
lunacy. No, it crosses right over the border and flops around in
lunacy land.

I asked you who wrote modern physics, you replied baez, and I asked
you if he was your fuckin' hero, you fuckin' occulted cretin. Too stupid
to understand a simple question, are you?

The brother on the space ship is not going to age according to the
rate at which an atomic clock ticks relative to the other brother on
the Earth and his rate of aging based upon the atomic clock on the
Earth.

You are suggesting that a brother at zero G's on the space ship and
the brother on the Earth both eat a tuna fish sandwich that both
sandwiches will be digested based upon the rate at which the atomic
clocks tick. Don't you think one brother being at zero G's and the
other brother being on the Earth might have more of an effect on the
rate at which the sandwich is digested than the rate at which the
atomic clock ticks? No, of course you do not, because you do not
think.

Sure it will have an effect. But there will also be an effect that is
due to relativity, and this can be separated from other effects.

This is a simple experimental analysis skill that just about any
scientist learns.
For example, if you are trying to find out if smoking shortens
lifespan, you may also find that your smokers also drink alcohol, or
that their hair is a little longer, or that they live in sunnier
climates, and you may wonder if those factors also contribute to a
shorter life span. It is the task of the experimenter to understand
how to separate out the contribution that is JUST due to smoking. This
is not that hard.

If you don't have any idea how this is done, then perhaps you should
get a little bit of training.
