Didn't think so. If you don't have an equation, how can you possibly tell whether your BaTh explanation of Sagnac correlates with reality. Here you state that the standard explanation of Sagnac is false. Well, what do you say is true? Handwaving doesn't cut it. > the current question centres on whether or not the rays > travel at c wrt the source, according to the standard SR > explanation. I'm quite aware of your misunderstandings concerning that. But I have my own set of questions. 1) Does light "bounce" elastically off mirrors, so that, viewed from the frame of the mirror, the speed of the reflected light equals the speed of the incident light? 2) Alternatively, since reflection represents the coherent re-emission of light, does reflected light always initially travel at c with respect to the mirror regardless of the speed of the incident light? Given your previously expressed view that the Wilson Density Threshold might possibly be in the 10^-22 Torr range, and the your views concerning Wilson Speed Control Frames, a third possibility comes to mind: 3) In a Sagnac experiment conducted in atmosphere, is the unification distance so short, microns or less, that the speed of light measured by the non-rotating observer is always effectively c? You have repeatedly expressed the view that no Earth-bound experiment can possibly detect c+v effects, because the vacuums achievable on Earth are vastly above the WDT, and also because "fields" generated by lab experiment constrain light to travel at c with respect to the experimental apparatus. For these reasons, you summarily reject all experimental evidence. > They obviously do not...but George is the most stubborn > person in the world and insists that they do.

The idiot hits again. SR predicts that that the speed of light is c in the inertial (non rotating) frame, and since the source is moving with the speed v in this frame, SR predicts that the two contrary moving beams will be out of phase when they meet the source again. Since the Sagnac experiment prove this prediction correct, SR will according to Wilsonian logic be proven wrong. Thanks for the demonstration. :-) But it wasn't necessary, I knew you are a babbling idiot, who nobody takes seriously. It is however quite fun to see all the idiotic "explanations" you come up with to save your blind faith in the impossible. > What a wonderful theory......!!!!! Hahahahahohjohohohawhawhaw!!! Quite. That hysterical laughter becomes you. Are you dribbling as well? But thanks. It was fun. :-) Paul
