Why is it that relativists can never understand even the most basic logic?

Look up the definition of 'a point', BP.

Does it mention the word 'photon'?

Maybe in your own personal version of emmision theory. But Im saying
that if one can model emmision theory as having light propagate away
from any source always at c relative to any source, then,....
one can explain MMx and sagnac

How do you know.
Wheres the proof ? You have none. I discussed this earlier in this
thread with George and I pointed out that it is technically almost
impossible to test these claims. At least there is no experimental
setup
that exists that can test this clai you make.
If a lab was 10 meters long and a rotating light source on one end
was observed from the other end. The actual displacement
due to this `path drag` would be minute. Something like a
0.000003 mm deflection over 10 m. Youd never be able to measure that.
Nobody has yet. Therefore no proof exists that tests this possibilty
one way or the other

And Im trying to focus your mind on one point. That is that the MMx
source
is moving yet the light that leaves the source still has a speed of
c relative to the moving source. Contrary to what you claim taht it
isnty
moving at c in the lab.

My apologies. I get non stop sleazy insinuations, character smears
and
insults from the rest of your peers. I forgot to check if you werent
up to
the same. A quick check shows me that so far you seem to have been OK.
Thanks. I appreciate that.

JUst dont forget that Im argueing here for a wave only emmision model
to explain the various observed phenomena. So please dont expect me
to incorporate particle theory in this model. Like for instance..
electrons.

This is an odd statement . You say you never claimed that light
`doesnt travel
at c relative to a source`. And then you contradict yourself in the
same
sentence above and say that in fact it `doesnt travel at c relative to
the
source`.??
So what do you want to claim? That it does or it doesnt travel at c
relative
to the source?

How did I misread your sugggestion? YOu said...

"The light emitted consists of 'objects'. Once emitted, they must
travel in
straight lines at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside
force."

In other words you say above that once light leaves the MMx source it
must
travel in straight lines at c + the speed of earths rotation etc,
relative
to the source.
THat means that you think that light travels at different speeds away
from a source relative to that source.

Sorry Im not sure why I said this .Yes the electrons in wave theory

OK fair enough. This is the first time anyonse asked me to define a
cyclotron in wave only theory so I need to get uo to speed on how they
are constructed. Its not quite clear in my reference how this is done.
For instance it shows the defelected `electrons` but not where the
xrays are generated. I assume the whole cavity generates them or is it
just a point at where the electron is deflected at the small outlet
hole? Its very vague my reference.

You obviously know a good deal about cyclotrons. I admit need to find
out more about cyclotrons . For instance my reference
shows the electrons being fired out the small hole? Or is that the
xrays. Its not clear. Any ways in a wave only theory I have to
explain electrons as waves only so its going to be difficult
for you to argue that the source is particles. For instance
I notice that the setup of the cyclotron bears close resemblance
to the radio transmittter. Both have oscillating magnetic fields
as the `driver` of the radiations and both in the standard model
describe these as streams of electrons. But wave theory as
I point out in my "redshift without expansion " describes the
oscillating field in the transmitter as oscillating magnitic
fields of the atoms in the wire which produce the emr radiation.
No electrons needed. So Id say the cavity in the cyclotron is
the source and it is the oscillating magnetic field in the
cavity that generates the xrays. Just as the the wire `cavity`
in the radio transmitter generates the radio waves. I assume
the cyclotron cavity oscillates at higher frequencies hence the
higher frequency emmision.Thats whats suggested in my ref anyways.
As with the transmitter the cavity as a whole is the source.
And it doesnt move in the lab. It is in the same frame as the
observor. Hence contrary to what you thought no bent lines in
the x-radiation are predicted by wave only emmision theory
because the source isnt moving in the lab

I dispute these points on several counts. First MMx DID spin the setup
and it didnt create distortion in the arms. So it is possible.Second,
if this experiment hasnt been tried in your opinion, it doesnt mean
that
one can assume that the outcome would be that light wouldnt travel at
c
relative to the spinning MMx source,.. which leads to my third point;
As you point out above. A spinning MMx setup has been tried where
no distortion occurs and it does show that light from a spinning
source
still travels away at c relative to the source.
Its called the MM experiment. And it spins 1/day.

This is wrong and unsubstantiated. Ive pointed out many times
that the MMx results contradict this claim you and others make.
Because we know that when light leaves the MMx source it still travels
in all directions at c relative to the source. THis is only possible
if
the subsequent motion of the source did effect the already
transmitted
light.

It explains the MMX but not Sagnac....
Sagnac is very complicated.

MMX, yes, Sagnac, no.

The MMX confirmes SR and emission theory,
and falsifies a 'Michelson type' ether theory.

Sagnac confirms SR and a 'Michelson type' ether theory,
and falsifies emission theory.

Only SR passes both tests.
