Are you claiming that his articles don't get reviewed before publishing? Let's see, http://pipl.com/directory/people/Reginald/Cahill And, appears to be a professor of physics no less and, appears to be in good standing at Finders University. http://www.expertguide.com.au/!ProfessorReginaldCahill!_7530.aspx And Flinders University does not appear to be a fringe organization http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinders_University And slandering Cahill just because you don't like the message is petty, and doesn't seem to be reflect his standing with the people he works for, and with. Don't like what he publishes then do the proper thing, write the editor with specific criticisms and go through the proper channels. It easy to sling slanderous accusations and quite another to actually back them up. But given your demeanor has exhibited here you appear to be immature and shallow enough to act out in such a fashion. That's your problem, not his. As I said, it appears that he still holds his position, title, and continues to get his works published by others. IOW you credibility is not worth a plug nickel. Paul Stowe

Those experiments weren't competently designed to detect light speed anisotropy. If you read Cahill you'd know why.

Looking at it quickly, the paper tests SRT for velocity relative to the CBR "frame". And it seems that the speed as measured in the ECI frame is constant. If so, ideally the phase difference should remain constant according to SRT, for the same reason as with MMX (note that in addition it has the Fresnel/Fizeau effect which you had not mentioned). > > > This is completely descibed in their paper.
