I've read enough of Cahill to be firmly reminded that he is an incompetent
experimenter.

When's Cahill going to re-do Miller's experiment with proper temperature
control? Hmm? I suspect never as he has convinced himself that he is right,
and you'll never say otherwise.

And how does that come about? I'm guessing you just made it up.

So 'relativity' happens for all mediums and waves .. not just light. Funny
that we never see that.

Bahah .. you think that is GR ? .. you're still talking SR there. You
haven't a clue.

Hmmm, you think I made up that a wave propagates the distance ct or
that the three equal orthogonal components of vector s is s^2 = dx^2 +
dy^2 + dz^2. OK, I'll take credit :) (I wish...)

Yes, it does... Why don't you go check the references provided?

Not at all the key issue is, what are the limitation on measuring
devices for both.

I really REALLY have to start wondering about your reasoning
ability. NO! I did not claim that that equation formed the basis of
GR. As Einstein clearly pointed out in his description OF THE BASIS
OF GR,

"In the second place our result shows that, according to the general
theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of
light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental
assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we
have
already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A
curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of
propagation of light varies with position. Now we might think that
as
a consequence of this, the special theory of relativity and with it
the whole theory of relativity would be laid in the dust. But in
reality this is not the case. We can only conclude that the special
theory of relativity cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity ;
its results hold only so long as we are able to disregard the
influences of gravitational fields on the phenomena (e.g. of
light)."

Now, look again at the expression c^2 = 1/un. If either density or
compressibility changes in any way what happens to c??? We know that
for all known media this in fact happens all the time. Since the very
basis of Lorentzian Relativity is formed upon this basis it is both
expected and normal for c to vary from one locale to another with such
variations. Please note that Einstein identifies this feature
(changes in light speed) as the core feature of GR, as opposed to SR.
Gravity effects this, the result, so-called 'curvature'. For LR, this
is a essential feature of the model. This leads to NO! differences in
the observables of both SR/GR and GLR (Generalized Lorentzian
Relativity).

Here is an interesting point mentioned in Cahill's paper,

"Combining NASA/JPL..."
http://arxiv.org/abs/0906.5404

Page 13

<Start extract>

Krisher only compared the phase variations with that of the Cosmic
Microwave Background (CMB), and noted that the phase relative
to the local sidereal time differed from the CMB direction by 6 hrs,
but failed to notice that it agreed with the direction discovered by
Miller in 1925/26 and published in 1933 [8].

All you've done is shown that the distance a wave propogates is proportional
to the time. Nothing terribly interesting there

You're the one who thinks coming up with that shows L:ET to cover GR. THAT
is poor reasoning.

Yes.. you did

You don't understand what Einstein says

So what?

it doesn't change the speed of light in vacuo

The net speed of light in a medium changes. c does not.

Changes of net speed of light in a medium is NOT the basis of GR

you have NO idea

Learn some physics, boy
