You forget that Ralph/Henri/Henry lies a lot when he is shown to
be wrong. He hates being shown to be a fool and does not realize
that lying only makes him seem more of a fool.

Velocity is distance/time.
If it takes one unit of time for light to travel one unit of distance
to reach the mirror, then it takes one unit of time for light to travel
the same distance back from the mirror.
t0: s--------------------------------------------m
one unit of distance/one unit of time.
Now Pauli can argue all he wants, if s and m are moving so that at some
time later (t1) we have
t1: s'.................s------------------------------------------->m,
t2:
s".................s'.................s<-------------------------------------------m,
if it takes one unit of time for light to travel one unit of distance
to reach the mirror, then it takes one unit of time for light to travel
the same distance back from the mirror.
Velocity is distance/time.
If the distance s---m is x, the time s---m is t, then the distance m---s
is -x
and the time m---s is t.
If the distance s---s' is x', the time s---s' is t, then the distance s---s"
is -2x'
and the time s---s" is t.

The car you see in your rear view mirror remains the same distance
from you and a cop's radar gun in your car will record its speed as
zero.
Referring to "other experiments" is just so much fuckin' handwaving
and hearsay.

Light from distant stars hasn't gone through glass since
Ptolemy's crystal spheres stopped carrying the planets.
Your ancient theory was debunked by Copernicus, Galileo,
Kepler and Newton.

There is enough stuff in 'empty space' to affect light speed.

That's not what he's talking about. Are you drunk again?
