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

It isn't, because you can't "measure dilation" in SR without the use of
synchronized clocks, and you can't synchronize clocks in SR without
making assumptions about how far light travels in moving from the
location of one clock to the location of the other, and those
assumptions vary from frame to frame (depending upon whether the clocks
are regarded as moving); and as previously noted, the dilations of SR
vanish if the principle of the simultaneity of relativity is applied
universally instead of treating the procedure of clock synchronization
as a unique exception.

Newtonian physics is no more sensible in that regard. I didn't mean to
suggest that SR has transformed those concepts into something
untenable, but rather that those concepts are intrinsically untenable
as what they purport to be.

I suggested you look up the experiment
before commenting.

Indeed, like pretending single variable stars
are binaries with invisible companions to fit
your philosophy while ignoring the unarguable
evidence from Sagnac that your model for the
propagation of light is wrong.

The people who build radiological equipment
don't give a toss about photon models, all
they want is an equation that fits the data.
That is what experimental physics is about, it
is confirmed by reality regardless of belief.

Nobody has suggested it is. In BaT the
velocity at launch would be the vector
sum of the velocity of the source and
a vector of magnitude c. The resulting
path must be the one that ends on the
detector. The output from a Sagnac setup
gives a direct measure of the effect of
the speed of the source on that of the
light and the answer.
