Wavelengths are the same for everyone for a wave (we're treating this
non-relativisticly, of course).

Just like in Sagnac .. it you take the path from where the source is at the
time the rays meet the detector (ie at the same place). Same number of
wavelength from current source location to current detector location. Henry
yells 'frame jumping' when you point that out, of course, even though you're
looking at everything from the one frame (a rotating one)

Yeup .. its all relative.

Great try, Wilson, but I agree with Jeery. You ARE mixed up. It's
quite possible that Inertial has come to understand EmT and YOU
are the picnic with the missing sandwiches. You wouldn't need 'em
when you could get another bottle of cheap wine in the basket.

You can boast better than anyone, but then with a lifetime's experience
of selling used cars that's hardly surprising. What do you say to the
buyers, Wilson? "Only driven by a little old lady on Sundays to go
to church", and then plant a hymn book on the back seat?
"4Aw/cl" -- ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

How much does an ozzie cricket pitch cost? You know, the strips
22 yards long between wickets without any ashes?
(Not the square ones 4.69 yards on each side that have the same area.)
Try and be sober enough to answer sensibly.

And then claiming this is part of a sagnac effect .. he's being dishonest
and trying to trick people.

But that isn't the case in Sagnac .. so its all totally irrelevant. Yet he
claims it gives the correct results, when its a different scenario
altogther.

Not for a given trial of the experiment, and not for the analysis of such a
trial where we work out the phase shift for A GIVEN FIXED ROTATIONAL SPEED.

I see the pathetic side of your dishonesty. How can you live with yourself,
you lying deceiving little troll ?
