No that's unnecessary.

Both of these are wrong as I have pointed out before.

Here is the simple explanation of a four mirror Sagnac.

Sagnac refutes SR because it requires that the rays move at c+v and c-v wrt the
source.

The distance between the dots doesn't change with speed.

There is a threshold density (The Wilson Threshold Density, WDT) below which
the inverse squar law breaks down and space starts to feature holes of genuine
'nothing'....like foam plastic. Much of remote space lies below the WDT. Of
course, when a photon passes through a hole, its fields temporarily destroy the
'nothingness'.
Inside those holes, light behaves 100% ballistically. Outside, light still
behaves almost 100% ballistically except in the vicinity of large masses, which
are surrounded by much stronger Wilsonian 'EM Spheres of Influence'.

The plain fact is, there has never been an experiiment that clearly supports
Einstein's silly theory. Many people have tried and are many are still
desperate to prove him right....but nobody has yet done it.
Similarly, nobody has ever convincingly refuted BaTh.

Incidentally, with all that previous discussion about light reflecting from
mirrors, I thought of a possible OWLS experiment using a moving source.
Arrange two mirrors facing each other and angle a laser beam just enough to
make it bounce many times between the two before exiting on the opposite side.

Then move one mirror rapidly towards the other for a brief period so the laser
beam hits it a c+v. At every reflection there is a doubling if the 'v' bit. If
there are 100 reflections the light emerges at c+100v.

If the laser beam was pulsed at high frequency, the speed change should show up
as an irregularity in the pulse arrival rate in addition to the one due to path
length decrease.

Obviously as I am none of those things you are talking about yourself or
Henry .. as you've both CLEARLY exhibited those behaviors regularly.

Given that your analysis when the speeds do NOT change is wrong, you're not
in a position to comment.

The speed change would result in SOME sagnac effect, but as you also get it
with (say) 4 mirrors, the first reflection slow down won't happen until the
light is about 1/4 of the way around, and so you woulnd't get it slowed
enough to get the full Sagnac effect.

Your own analysis is wrong .. you're not in a position to criticize others
... especially as you have NOT provided any valid criticism of them, other
than saying their wrong.

Which does NOT refute SR .. as you've clearly had explained to your many
many many many times. But you still persis with your lies. Henry .. you're
nothing but lying scum.
