A minor point Sean, "classical theory" should probably
be considered to be Maxwell's Equations, what we are
talking about here is a theory suggested by Ritz about
50 years after Maxwell.

No, the obvious interpretation is light being launched
as you say but therefter obeying the basic laws of
mechanics. What Ritz suggested was that light left the
source at c but after Newton's First Law applied, the
light would travel in a straight line at constant
speed, the speed and direction having been determined
by the conditions at the time of emission. Your version
does away with that and has the light moving in a curved
path so that it _looks_ straight from the source, even
if the source changes its motion - the light also has to
change to match the motion of the source.

No, I just couldn't believe that you were abandoning
Newton's First Law, I gave you the benefit of the
doubt and assumed I was misunderstanding your posts.
It turned out I wasn't, you really did mean what you
were saying, at which point there was no way to
continue the conversation scientifically since you
have discarded the basis of all mechanics.

Henry understands Ritz's basic theory, although he
has some trouble with the concept of a 'frame' so
I'll leave it to him to try to explain how light
moves thereafter, you and he should be on the same
side so he should have more successs than I could.

Quite.
It's not easy to walk strait when you are dizzy.

This is stupid nonsense, Henri.

An interferometer measures phase differences.
They have been understood and used for centuries.
Thousands are in daily use in a multitude of different
instruments. We know how they work.

Ambiguous mumbo jumbo talk cannot change the fact that
the standard Sagnac diagram shows the ray to be moving
at c in the inertial frame.

> Do you not agree that the diagram itself IS drawn at rest in the LAB FRAME.

It's drawn in an inertial frame.

The LAB FRAME can in many cases be considered inertial,
and will often be used as a synonym for inertial frame.
But not for precision Sagnac rings which can detect Earth rotation,
then the LAB FRAME is rotating.

The question:
"Why does light pick the one defined by the ring?"
is indeed very revealing.

It demonstrates that you don't understand that the speed of
one particular light beam is c in _all_ inertial frames,
including the one in which the centre of the ring is stationary.

The light doesn't 'pick' a frame in which it moves at c.
One particular light beam moves at c in _all_ inertial frames
at the same time! Or: the speed of light is invariant.
So _we_ are free to pick the frame that gives the simplest
calculation in each case.

I know.
You will _never_ accept it or understand it,
despite the fact that it is experimentally verified.

You didn't get it, did you?
The point is spelled out below.

You can draw one and duplicate it.

You simply don't get it, do you?
The Sagnac experiment _prove_ that the speed of light
is c in the inertial frame in which the centre of the ring is
stationary, that's the _only_ way the speed difference
source - light can be c+/-v, which it _must_ be to produce
the observed phase shift.
It proves that the speed of light in the inertial frame
is NOT c+/-v as the emission theory demands, and which would
produce no phase shift.

The fact that linear motion don't affect the Sagnac ring in
any way, prove that the speed of light is c in _any_ inertial
frame.

Why the hell do you keep repeating this awkward way of saying:
The diagram shows that the speed of light is c and the speed
of the source is v as measured in the inertial frame.

NO I AM NOT DENYING THIS!

THE QUESTION WAS:
Can you please explain why Sagnac prove that the speed of light
is different from c in the inertial frame?

Of bloody course you can't.
You will keep talking mumbo jumbo like above.

Henri, take another look at this quotation:
"The extinction distance is directly proportional to period. The
0.0007 value is for a period of 0.0042 years. It becomes 0.007
for 0.042 years, 0.07 for 0.042 years..etc."

YOU wrote those words!!!

Don't quote me out of context Crank. You left out the important bits.
I was merely pointing out that distance and period are complemetary in the
program.
So are distance and velocity.

If both the period and distance are multipied by the same factor, the same
curve results. If the maximum velocity is increased, reducing the distance by
the same factor gives the original result....well, almost at short distances..
