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.

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.

You > haven't a clue. 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). Paul Stowe

OK, I'll take credit :) (I wish...) All you've done is shown that the distance a wave propogates is proportional to the time.
