Is it a single source? What direction does it point? To test emission
theory (apart from Ritz) you need it to emit light in two opposite
directions. Which the original experiment did not do, right? People
claimed the original refuted emission theory for a couple of generations
before the modern equipment became available. Not good.

Yes, of course. I thought that was the point. Given light emitted in
direction D by a source traveling at velocity v in direction V, the
light would actually travel at the vector sum cD+vV.

The WAVELENGTH of any particular light is the same in ALL inertial frames.
The speed is frame dependent.

Poor old Jerry is stuck in the past.

My latest statement sums up Einstein's error and clarifies the BaTh explanation
of sagnac.

The WAVELENGTH of light..... and not its SPEED.... is absolute and the same in
ALL inertial frames.

I wouldn't want to steal anything from you. After all YOU claim that wavelength
is frame dependent.
