Since the theory of special relativity doesn't make any predictions about non-inertial frames, your claim is erroneous, and thus the conclusions you draw from it are irrelevant. CM

Maybe "the theory" doesnt. But its proponents do. At wiki and Ned wright pages they clearly make the claim that light does not travel at c in the non inertial frame in the SR model. But Im glad you seem to agree with me that Ned Wright and Wiki got it wrong. As we both know light can and does travel at c always in the non inertial frame as long as thats also the source frame. Sagnac and MM show us this.And in fact as sagnac and MM show us,.. light does not neccesarily travel at c in the inertial frame. Unless that also is the source frame. So in fact SR may not officially make predictions about what light does in a non inertial frame...but its prediction that it always travels at c in the inertial frame is not consistent with observation.

THerefore it must be big enough to effect a fringe shift in MMx . But it isnt measured in MMx. Why? Because in fact light is travelling at c in both the sagnac source frame and the MMx source frame. And this is what classical theory predicts. Which is why classical is more succesful than SR. Classical predicts both Sagnac and MMx whereas SR predicts only one or the other. For instance if SR predicts that light speed difference on the two paths are below measurement thresholds in MMx, then it must also then predict that light speed differences or path differences are not detectable in a 24 hour rotating source in a ring gyro. But this isnt whats observed. In fact a 24 hour cycle rotating source in a ring gyro is detectable . Even though SR just predicted its not detectable. So SR cannot predict results for one experiment without being unable to predict the correct results for the other. You see the big scam about SR is that it predicts two contradictory results for light in non inertial frames. In sagnac it predicts that the light travels at variable speeds in the non inertial rotating source frame and that even over 24 hour cycles this is a big enough difference to effect a measureable fringe shift. But when it comes to MMX the opposite is true for SR. It says a rotating source with a 24 hour cycle does not effect a measureable fringe shift. You cant have it both ways. > [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.

In the lab situation in sagnac a 24 hour rotation of a light source is detectable.Why then should the very same 24 hour hour rotation of the source in MMx not be detectable? Both sources are in a lab and both rotate once every 24 hours. Therefore both should either give no detection or both give a detection. > MM in no way invalidates or contradicts SR .. the 'null' result is > completely consistent with SR.- Hide quoted text - Not if you consider that SR predicts that light should be variable in the MMx source frame. And it is not observed to be variable. Therefore SR predictions are not consistent with MMX observations Sean www.gammarayburst.com

That was sure complicated.- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - Well I put it more simply earlier but here it is again... SR predicts that light from a source that is rotating must travel at variable speeds relative to the source . But in the MMx which is an experiment where light from a rotating source travels and returns down two paths, the light is observed to be travelling at the same speed on both paths contrary to what SR predicts. But what Jeckyl then was trying to argue was that the difference in speed on these two paths in MMx was too small too measure because the earths rotation was too slow too measure . And to that point I responded that if the earths rotation is too slow to measure then why is it that we can measure its rotation using fringe shifts in ring gyros? In other words Jeckyls and relativistas intention that its too slow to measure is not backed up by observation.
