Until you learn this terminology, >you will just keep making these mistakes. George, if that was my intention I would say, "the light is moving art c+v IN THE SOURCE FRAME". That is NOT what I'm syaing at all. I am saying that when observed and measured in the lab frame, the light is seen to be moving at c+/-v wrt the source. THAT IS SHOWN IN THE STANDARD SR SAGNAC DAIGRAM. >> Objects can move in an FoR.

George, you're obviously just some kind of electronics technician who once worked in a physical laboratory.
