Are you really that stupid .. you REALLY don't understand what 'predict' means? And you are going to just ignore all the results that were predicted BEFORE experimental evidence confirmed them decades later. If that is the best argument you have against SR, then you're a lost cause.

M-M is consistent with SR, period. The reason the MMX is consistent with SR is that SR resorts to the BaTh principle that light moves at c wrt its source and everything in the source frame. Hence light moves at c throughout the MMX apparatus irrespective of whatever you do to it. SR has the amazing ability to flit from LET to BaTh depending on the need. >> However >> if those miracles are too idiotic, then the Michelson-Morley >> experiment refutes special relativity > >What the hell does that mean?

Youve misuderstood both myself and george. george was claiming that the usual classical emmision theory did not have light always at c in straight lines from the source and that it was my `unusual` interpretation of classical that claimed that it alwasy had to be. All I was saying was that he was wrong... Classical emmision theory always stipulates that light must be at c relative to the source. Even you concur above with your quote.. (jeckyl)..."Classical model says the speed of light is not always c .. it is observer /source dependant " Thats what I always argue , but george was trying to say that this was an unusual version of the classical emmision model. Obviously he`s wrong. As Both you and I agree that classical emmision model always is observor /source dependent.(ie at c relative to the source) Sean www.gammarayburst.com

If you look at SR`s explanation of sagnac it states that light does not travel at c in the source frame. Thats the only way in which SR can explain sagnac. Yet this isnt corrobrated by MMx. Because the MMx source according to SR should show fringe shift . Yet it doesnt.
