George Dishman and I looked into this thoroughly some time ago. The two rays end up parallel but are displaced sideways. This should not in itself cause a fringe shift because the wave fronts are broad. There IS a path length diffference but it is considerably smaller than the claimed one. I have found a better but fairly complicated explanation which I have yet to analyse in detail. Consider individual photons as resembling arrows. If an arrow is fired from a moving vehicle towards a target 45 degrees to one side, it must be aimed well to one side of the target if it is going to hit it. As the arrow travels, it shaft is not aligned with its velocity vector (in the ground frame). In fact, if the vehicle is traveling quickly enough, teh arrow's shaft will be almost perpendicular to its travel direction. Applying this to Sagnac means that the 'axes' of photons in each beam are 'twisted' in opposite directions. If photons are many wavelengths long, each photon 'end' will strike the (moving) mirrors at slightly different points, resulting in a reflection angle that DOES NOT equal the incident angle as well as a path length difference. www.users.bigpond.com/hewn/index.htm The difference between a preacher and a used car salesman is that the latter at least has a product to sell.

They flew atomic clocks on commercial airliners around the world in both directions, and compared the time elapsed on the airborne clocks with the time elapsed on an earthbound clock (USNO). Their eastbound clock lost 59 ns on the USNO clock; their westbound clock gained 273 ns; these agree with GR predictions to well within their experimental resolution and uncertainties (which total about 25 ns).

They stored muons in a storage ring and measured their lifetime. When combined with measurements of the muon lifetime at rest this becomes a highly-relativistic twin scenario (v ~ 0.9994 c), for which the stored muons are the traveling twin and return to a given point in the lab every few microseconds.

No, it doesn't. You still don't understand the explanation of the Sagnac experiment. Dit you take the time to read and understand this very good page: http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s2-07/2-07.htm It also talks about the cranks that keep saying that Sagnac implies light propagating with c+-v :-)

The speed of light has been measured for moving sources. OW measurement is tricky due to the syncing of clocks required to do it .. you need to make assumptions about what it means for a pair of separated clocks to be in sync. >>Or do you think other objects moving about cna change the speed light >>travels in my frame? > stop raving...
