I just taught you everything you know about sagnac....which is very little

IT IS NOT THE SAME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EMISSION POINT AND THE DETECTION POINT.
Even normal relativists get that bit right. You seem to have invented a new
school....with ONE pupil.

I have. The number of 'wavelengths' in each path is different. The numbers
change during an acceleration.

The experiment is useless unless a range of phase differences are involved.
This necessitates changing the rotation speeds of the apparatus.
Your original claim was that the apparatus did not change speed at all...Now
you're tring to wriggle out...
I will not waste any more time on this so don't bother to reply..

I'm not one of those relativists who claims to have ALL the answers.

Ralphi is trying to bail out because he knows he is in way over his
head. Next he will go back to lying.
