whty would that result is a phase difference?

It is a picture as seen in the non-rotating frame .. how can that be the
rotating frame. Obviously it must be different to what YOU think it looks
like from the non-rotating frame. How do YOU think it SHOULD look in the
non-rotating frame?

The diagram does not say that it is .. it is not showing where things WERE
... it is showing where they are.

> You are using the rotating frame.

No .. he is not. If you are so certain that he is, then please show or
describe how the diagram should look from the non-rotating frame at the
instant the emitter+detector and mirrors are at the positions shown.

Which is exactly what it shows .. see there the red and green lines start
together on the RHS.

No .. he hasn't

No .. the only one with problems with things rotating (or even moving) is
you.

Indeed it does

Nope

Because ballistic theory is wrong
