They are both wrong. The Sagnac experiment , while executed in a clearly non-inertial frame (because it is rotating) agrees with the predictions of SR/GR. For calculations using either formalism, look here: http://www.mathpages.com/rr/s2-07/2-07.htm and here: http://www.physics.berkeley.edu/research/packard/related/Gyros/LaserRingGyro/Steadman/StedmanReview1997.pdf So, your claims are wrong.

We are limited in our experimental apparatus .. it is impractical (if not impossible) to get the apparatus into a frame of reference that is perfectly free of all gravitational potential so the SR can be tested directly. But a laboratory is close enough for the experiment. GR tells us the local speed of light will be c anyway, and for the duration of the experiment any change in velocity of the apparatus is negligible. The problem is not fudging correct data .. its interpreting an imperfect experiment within allowed margins of error. Science does that all the time ... and MM supports SR (which says there should be a null results and the results are null within the margin of error of the experiment).

But how does it predict it? IT does so by assuming that the experiment does not rotate during observation or as you try to argue. You say... `that this rotation is not measureable during observation`. But this is a false assumption . Because scientific instruments that you cannot deny as being accurate( ring gyros) DO INDEED measure a rotation during the course of the MM experiment. And scientifically this has to mean that the rotation of earth does effect the speed of light during any known observation like MMx. Yet SR bases its predictions on the assumption that the rotation of the earth is NOT measureable during the course of the experiment. Seeing as ring gyros contradict this asssumption,.. then scientifically SR`s predictions are not valid as they are based on assumptions that are in fact contradicted by observation. So for your SR argument to be succesfull you have to prove that the earths rotation is not measureable during observation. And as any scientist would have to admit... Earths rotation IS measureble during observation.. Thus nullifying SR. So. Ill accept your SR argument if you supply ring gyro measurements that show that earth does not rotate . Seeing as galileo shot down this argument centuries ago... Id say ,... you cannnot supply proof that earths rotation is not measureable.

I don't recall saying that. But it is a relatively small effect .. the margins for error take that into accont [snip whole lots of waffle about measuring rotation of the earth that really doesn't make a difference] SR predicts what happens in an ideal situation .. the laboratory is not ideal. However it is a good enough approximation and any discrepancies can be taken into account in the error bounds. MM in no way invalidates or contradicts SR .. the 'null' result is completely consistent with SR. |
