You are even dumber than George.

In the frame of your car, the pole is NOT moving wrt the mountain.

Don't you know whata frame is, idiot?

Why is it that all relativists appear to have zero intelligence?

Yes. That's what I said.

True but that's not what I was referrring to.

That's the postulate....

Yes. ..and irrespective of its stupid postulate, the rays are shown moving at
c+/-v wrt the source...something that is impossible according to the postulate.

You are hopelessly stubborn and confused George.

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.

George, you're obviously just some kind of electronics technician who once
worked in a physical laboratory. I'm sorry to have to inform you of this but
you obviously KNOW VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT PHYSICS.

They ARE the same.

You haven't examined many at all George. I've looked at hundreds...and they are
mainly ADoppler derived.

We werer wrong. At that stage, I had not realised the significance of the
'photon axis tilt'.
My conclusion, Light DOES NOT reflect at the incident speed and angle from a
moving mirror.

Yes it is wrong.
