How do you check that your formula is right? You've inferred a number that cannot be measured from a formula that you apparently assume is right without having any way to check it.

It could mean the speed that would be obtained if measurement was completely error free. However I intended it to mean the inferred speed of light relative to an observer if one took the observer's velocity relative to a preferred frame into account. If the later was v, then the inferred speeds of light for beams parallel to v would be c-v and c+v. The experiments don't contrain the anisotropy of such speeds.

The experiments I listed constrain light speed anisotropy to <10^-15. Therefore, your "vi" is less than 10^-15 c. Meaning that: vi<3*10^-7 m/s The above renders your theory null. You understand that , Peter?

Today, you are a much bigger imbecile than you were yesterday. Tomorrow, you will be a yet much bigger imbecile than today.

Meaning that: > >vi<3*10^-7 m/s > That is not correct. The experiments only contrain the anisotropy of the directly measured speed of light in vacuum. Speeds such as c-vi and c+vi are inferred speeds so are not subject to those contraints. |
