Let us go back to the clock scenario. Scenario A: ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Sagnac turntable (NOT ILLUSTRATED) is mounted on the second hand of the clock. The clock is moving from right to left at 0.1c 12 9 + 3 6 12 9 + 3* A light pulse * is emitted 6 12 9 + 3X The emission point X remains in a fixed location 6 with respect to the clock, regardless of the turntable's rotation. 12 9 + 3X 6 Scenario B: ----------------------------------------------------------------- A Sagnac turntable (NOT ILLUSTRATED) is mounted on the second hand of the clock. The clock is moving from left to right at 0.1c 12 9 + 3 6 12 9 + 3* A light pulse * is emitted 6 12 9 + 3X The emission point X remains in a fixed 6 location with respect to the clock, regardless of the turntable's rotation. 12 9 + 3X 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- In other words, according to YOUR model, every Sagnac turntable drags along its own absolutely non-rotating frame. The emission point of a light pulse maintains its position with respect to the clock face. According to YOU, there are as many dragged frames in this world as there are Sagnac turntables. > Such a frame exists. That is what matters.

Dear me, dear me... Assuming that YOUR strange concept of an "emission point" might -possibly- correspond to an "event", it COULD represent a unique position at a unique time in four-space. But it doesn't, does it? Not if you can drag it around the way that you do. I doubt highly that ANYBODY is capable of figuring out what your "emission point" corresponds to in terms of conventional physics. Only in your fantasy world does it have meaning. > >According to YOU, there are as many dragged frames in this world > >as there are Sagnac turntables. > > You're raving mad! Nope.
