It IS possible. It would depend on what they came in contact with I suppose.
It light ws moving at c wrt its source and it came to a gas cloud that was
moving away from the source at v, I would expect its speed to increase wrt the
source, as it passed through. I wouldn't bet my house on it though..

The light reflects from the mirror at the incident speed ...which is 1.5 c wrt
the mirror. So the return speed is 1.5 + the mirror speed, or 2c.

Get it?

DHR's can accept a postulated value.

Too many other factors are involved.

I still reckon it would be a waste of time.

the general feeling is that Einstein was not aware of the MMX result...or at
least he was not particularly interested in the null result.
That isn't surprising. Null resuilts usually mean the experiment or the theory
behind it was flawed..

S1->v____________________O
v<-S2

Only a property of space could cause light pulses from differently moving
sources to travel together towards observer O.

the clocks defining E-synch were mutually at rest.

I'll let you into a secret. They stay in synch even if you move them.

SR completely derailed physics.

Probably...although many still don't think so.

Apparently Ritz and Einstein were in close contact.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.
The most useful thing I have ever done is prove Einstein wrong.

hit your print screen button
this puts a copy of the screen onto the clipboard
it can then be pasted into a graphics program and trimmed, etc and saved as
a file.

Of course such a simple sentence is beyond your understanding. It
demonstrates you to be stupidly wrong.

How valuable IS the time of a panhandler, anyway?

Focus on a pane, press down Alt-Print Screen to get a copy of the
