    No. Not even close. You REALLY need to learn how to read. I sand NOTHING

    You said that MMX was designed to be insensitive to rotation.
    (You snipped that part but I’ve added it back above.)
    What I was trying to get you to explain was how is it you think
    rotation of the earth /lab/experiment setup could never
    be able to be detected by a sensitive enough MMX. Because that’s
    a false claim you make. In fact regsrdless of its sensitivity
    there is always a path difference on the arms of MMX due to rotation.
    It’s just too small to be detected.
    My reference to arm length changing was me trying to explain to you
    that the mirrors rotate in a circle in the non inertial lab frame.
    But don’t rotate in your imaginary inertial frame.

    Stop making stuff up and attributing it to me. You are VERY BAD at that.
    I would have thought the interferometer would show a shift if one
    path shortened,... then the other,..via a 90 degree rotation of the
    arms.
    Why do you think that a mere rotation would "shorten" an arm?????
    Such fantasies are useless.

    Actually I was asking you to explain how you think it doesn’t shorten. Because your imaginary inertial frame you pretend the MMX is in
    doesnt rotate. Whereas the lab frame being non inertial does.
    Put the two together and do a simulation it will give a shorter
    path length for the E-W path.

    You know if MMX could detect rotation but still got null result.
    It would refute SR.
    Not true. I repeat: you haven't a clue about what I think or know.

    If it’s not true then you are implying that if MMX didn’t get a null result...this would still be consistent with SR!!! That’s
    ridiculous.
    Yes, YOUR "conclusion" is ridiculous. But it is not at all what I said
    or implied.

    So it’s incorrect of me to assume a non null result in MMX would still be consistent with predictions made by SR?

    How can the MMX design be insensitive to earths rotation?
    By making the area enclosed by the light paths be accurately zero. Since
    you don't know this very basic fact, you have no hope of understanding either the MMX or the Sagnac experiment.

    The E-W arm tilts down slightly [...]

    Not in a well-designed MMX repetition, or in the original MMX (which was floating in a mercury pool to ensure the plane of rotation was
    accurately horizontal).


    Nothing to do with a mercury pool. I’m referring to earths rotation of the lab!!
    HERES a simple analogy to try to explain basic geometry to you.
    Have a 1/meter arm attached horizontally at the edge of a rotating carousel
    in a computer simulation. The view in your simulation is a top view of the carousel.
    It being a rotating circle in the simulation.(Imagine also then that this is a simulation showing the EW arm of MMX as it rotates around the earths Center. A cross section of the rotating planet so to speak)
    Place another 1 meter arm on top of the first.
    They both rotate in a circle in the simulation at a constant speed.
    Now at a certain point in time have the top 1meter horizontal arm detach itself
    from the attached arm and continue on off in a straight inertial path along
    a line defined as parralel to the x axis in your simulation.
    Tangentially away from the first arm but at the
    same speed it was as it was travelling just before it detached.

    The detached arm now moves away from the attached arm in this
    top view of the rotating carousel of your simulation along a path
    parallel to the x axis...The forward point of the detached arm must therefore travel farther along the x axis than the forward point of the rotating arm attached to the carousel.! Because the forward point of the rotating
    arm is not travelling in a straight line. But in a curved circular path relative to the x axis in this top view of the rotating carousel in the simulation.

    Therefore if If light travels at c in the of the inertial detached arm
    frame ( which is travelling in a straight line in the x axis of the simulation) but reflects off the mirror in the rotating arm, then the light path will
    be shorter.

    will not give a null result.
    Since the MMX is designed to ignore rotation, only a poorly implemented
    MMX (with a nonzero Sagnac loop area) will detect rotation.

    If sensitive enough, rotation of the MMX and the lab around *could* be detected
    by MMX, if light was travelling at c only in your non rotating inertial frame.

    No it means the MMX device wasn't built perfectly (zero effective area).

    Because let’s say light was only allowed to at c in your inertial frame. Then in the
    amount of time it takes for each point in the beam to travel out reflect
    and get back....the rotation of the earth would have rotated the E-W mirrors downwards slightly in your inertial frame. Shortening the E-W trip in your non inertial frame.

    And on the way back it traces the exact same path, so it cancels. That's
    why the MMX is insensitive to rotation.

    But not shortening the N-S light beam.
    And thus giving a path difference between the two beams which
    could be detected by MMX when the 2 arms beams are rotated 90degrees.

    No, since the return paths are the same as the initial paths. They cancel.

    Of course current experiments supposedly are not sensitive enough to measure this small amount of path shortening by earths rotation. But you are wrong
    to assume no matter how sensitive MMX were to be made it couldn’t detect earths rotation.

    If perfect, it couldn't.

    Nor is the ridiculous claim you make here that
    because MMX isn’t sensitive enough...this means the setup must be in a inertial
    frame!
    No, it means the enclosed area must be zero to the limit of measurement.
    What’s amazing is how you can ignore the fact that Sagnac gyros
    DO detect the lab and experiments rotate around the earths axis.
    While MMX and Sagnac devices are very similar, they are NOT the same!

    So what. The fact that you can’t deny is...Ring gyros prove the lab isn’t in an
    inertial frame.

    Nobody ever claimed the lab frame is inertial. Only "inertial enough"
    for some experiments (such as MMX but not Sagnac).

    And if MMX and Sagnac are in the lab and not moving
    in the lab frame. Then MMX and Sagnac are not in inertial frames.

    And...? The Sagnac will potentially detect that. The MMX won't.

    Obviously empirical observations proving that the SAGNAC & MMX
    do rotate around the earths axis arent acceptable to the wild
    evidence free fantasies of SR.
    Word salad. Rotation of a properly built MMX can't be detected.

    Complete unverified nonsense of course. Seeing as a sagnac gyro proves >>>>> that the gyro and the lab and thus MMX are all in the same frame

    Sagnac devices and the MMX device are very similar. The difference is

    So what. You can’t ignore the fact that a Sagnac gyro proves that
    the lab and any experiment like MMX in the lab are in non inertial frames >>> rotating around the earths axis.
    Nobody disputes that.

    The Sagnac will detect the rotation.
    The MMX, designed to ignore rotation, won't detect <1*10^-6 fringe shift

    Exactly. But make up your mind. One minute you say MMX design prevents
    it ever from measuring rotation no matter how sensitive.
    The next minute you say it *can* but only if made sensitive enough.
    Can’t have it both ways big boy.

    I will type very slowly this time so that you can keep up.

    The MMX will not be perfect, it will have a tiny enclosed area. Making
    it into a poor Sagnac device. So it, by being imperfect, could detect
    rotation.

    when it is limited to detection of 0.1 fringes.

    They are rotating in a (different) inertial frame as well.
    As I said before, you simply don't understand the concept of frames in
    physics.

    Said the guy who thinks the MMX frame isn’t rotating around the earths axis. When ring gyros prove it is.

    Nobody disputes that. (It confuses you regardless)

    I understand that regardless of ones interpretation or invocation of >>>>> “coordinate” or “proper” speeds, Sagnac and MMX together

    But I do understand coordinate and proper speed. And the so called
    “difference” between the two fantasies.
    No, you don't. Because you just blew them off as "fantasies" when they
    have specific definitions to scientists.

    I know they are both excuses made up

    No, you don't "know" that. You incorrectly believe that, that's all.

    Relativists made up coordinate and proper speeds.

    No, scientists did that. They have specific meanings in relativity,
    meanings you are unaware of. Instead of learning them, you try to blow
    them off as "fantasies".

    Yet none of

    No, YOU don't know what they mean. You are projecting your ignorance on

    Proof is I asked several times
    if light travels at c or not at c in non inertial frames.

    Now you are talking about inertial and non inertial frames. I thought
    you wanted to talk about proper and coordinate speeds?

    I also know there is zero evidence to back up these claims

    Why do cranks always claim they have a "huge body" of evidence, but when
    pressed they have nothing to show?

    Win a Nobel prize for pointing out SR is a pack of lies? Impossible.

    Nope. Just one piece of evidence, if it existed, would disprove SR and
    win the discoverer a Nobel. Such a major discover is practically a
    guaranteed Nobel Prize for the discoverer.

    The relativists handing out the prize only give out Nobel prizes to relativists.

    No, the Nobel committee gives out prizes (in physics anyway) to the
    discoverers of major physics discoveries. A disproof of SR (within its
    realm) would be a MAJOR discovery. Also, over they ears many scientists
    have worked to disprove SR, perhaps even with the prize in mind. None
    have ever been successful. Of course the rants of crackpots isn't
    disproof of anything.

    Including evidence from Sagnac and MMX experiments which show
    that contrary to false evidence free claims by SR....light CAN travel isotropically
    at constant speeds and c in non inertial rotating frames.

    Both Sagnac and MMX support SR. The best you can do is that, I believe,
    Sagnac in a vacuum (not a medium with speed c/n like fibre optics) is
    supported by ballistic light and SR, but Sagnac in a medium only by SR.

    Ballistic light is a fantasy invented by relativists before they converted to the
    fantasy of photons and relativity. Light isn’t a particle.

    Light is a wave-particle duality. Ballistic light treats light as if
    moving on a path as a particle would.

    Nor is there a shred of evidence to prove it is.

    The photoelectric effect.

    The closest
    “evidence” you have are PMT “detections”. And they can easily be modeled
    as wave only light being quantised by the detector atoms.

    No! That’s what I was trying to explain to Tom. In SR you have
    an inertial frame which you have light at constant c in. That’s my understanding.
    It’s not the same as the lab frame. So in the time from when the light leaves the source to get to the E-W mirror...the lab frame with the setup has rotated ever so slightly. Imagine the two superimposed on a top view.
    Your inertial frame EW arm always points in the same direction and moves EW slightly as the light goes out and back. BUT...the real lab EW arm, being non inertial,
    moves across slightly with the inertial arm in the EW direction but more importantly
    it also rotates downwards in a circle with the rotating earth lab. So do the maths
    and geometry...*it does it not travel as far EW as the inertial frame*.
    The actual path length of the non inertial EW arms mirror is closer to the source
    then it’s imaginary inertial mirror. And seeing as the light reflects
    off the real non inertial mirror the EW path becomes shortened.
    It’s very hard to describe in words.
    If relativists weren’t so visually and geometrically illiterate...
    you would understand.


    But not shortening the N-S light beam.
    And thus giving a path difference between the two beams which
    could be detected by MMX when the 2 arms beams are rotated 90degrees.
    No, since the return paths are the same as the initial paths. They cancel.

    They don’t. Do a Java simulation of the two superimposed frames.
    The rotating real mirrored setup superimposed on the imaginary
    inertial frame. They both start off in the same superimposed
    position. But the imaginary inertial frame travels in a straight line. Whereas the real non inertial mirrored arms go in a circle.
    Answer this question. Does the same point A in space travelling at x speed
    go farther in one direction than the same point B travelling at the x speed
    If both start together at the same location,..but B is going in a circle and A in a straight line?NO!
    Point A travels farther in one direction than B
    Basic geometry.

    The closest
    “evidence” you have are PMT “detections”. And they can easily be modeled
    as wave only light being quantised by the detector atoms.
    Word salad.

    Waves aren’t word salad. But yes...I know relativists and QT fanatics
    Don’t like waves. Even though all existing observations in physics show
    Light and atoms are wave like only. Even PMT observations don’t need
    photon fantasies as I’ve pointed out above.

    If sensitive enough, rotation of the MMX and the lab around *could* be detected
    by MMX, if light was travelling at c only in your non rotating inertial frame.
    No it means the MMX device wasn't built perfectly (zero effective area).
    Because let’s say light was only allowed to at c in your inertial frame. Then in the

    downwards slightly in your inertial frame. Shortening the E-W trip in your >>> non inertial frame.
    And on the way back it traces the exact same path, so it cancels. That's
    why the MMX is insensitive to rotation.

    No! That’s what I was trying to explain to Tom. In SR you have
    an inertial frame which you have light at constant c in. That’s my understanding.
    It’s not the same as the lab frame.

    And once again, the estimated fringe shift for the MMX was about 10^-6
    fringes and the best detection was about 0.1 fringes, so the lab frame
    is "inertial enough". Just like the vibrations from the Chinese
    butterfly fart (which you never addressed) can be calculated to be too
    small to affect the sensitivity of the apparatus.

    So in the time from when the light leaves
    the source to get to the E-W mirror...the lab frame with the setup has rotated
    ever so slightly.

    And on the way back it retraces the exact same path, so all that cancels.

    But not shortening the N-S light beam.
    And thus giving a path difference between the two beams which
    could be detected by MMX when the 2 arms beams are rotated 90degrees.
    No, since the return paths are the same as the initial paths. They cancel.

    They don’t. Do a Java simulation of the two superimposed frames.
    The rotating real mirrored setup superimposed on the imaginary
    inertial frame. They both start off in the same superimposed
    position. But the imaginary inertial frame travels in a straight line. Whereas
    the real non inertial mirrored arms go in a circle.
    Answer this question. Does the same point A in space travelling at x speed
    go farther in one direction than the same point B travelling at the x speed If both start together at the same location,..but B is going in a circle and A
    in a straight line?NO!
    Point A travels farther in one direction than B
    Basic geometry.

    And the return path cancels.

    While MMX and Sagnac devices are very similar, they are NOT the same!

    So what. The fact that you can’t deny is...Ring gyros prove the lab isn’t in an
    inertial frame.
    Nobody ever claimed the lab frame is inertial. Only "inertial enough"
    for some experiments (such as MMX but not Sagnac).

    So what. SR calculates in an imaginary inertial frame.
    But the light travels in a rotating frame.

    It travels in both frames. (As I stated, you simply don't understand the concept of frames!)

    And it’s the path
    of the light in the real non inertial frame that are the empirical observations that any theory including SR has to correctly predict.
    Not the imaginary assumed paths in an imaginary inertial frame.

    And SR gets it correct.

    Complete unverified nonsense of course. Seeing as a sagnac gyro proves >>>>>>> that the gyro and the lab and thus MMX are all in the same frame >>>>>>> rotating around the earths axis.

    Nobody disputes that.

    The Sagnac will detect the rotation.

    Exactly. But make up your mind. One minute you say MMX design prevents
    it ever from measuring rotation no matter how sensitive.
    The next minute you say it *can* but only if made sensitive enough.
    Can’t have it both ways big boy.
    I will type very slowly this time so that you can keep up.

    The MMX will not be perfect, it will have a tiny enclosed area. Making
    it into a poor Sagnac device. So it, by being imperfect, could detect
    rotation.


    There’s your contradiction. You say it is...then say it isn’t.

    Nope. A real perfect MMX won't detect rotation. Remember the light
    return path cancels the forward path!

    But we humans are imperfect, so any physical MMX won't have an exactly 0
    Sagnac area, so the Sagnac effect will detect rotation.

    Fact is even a “perfect “ MMX still records rotation

    It won't.

    No, you don't "know" that. You incorrectly believe that, that's all.

    No, scientists did that. They have specific meanings in relativity,
    meanings you are unaware of. Instead of learning them, you try to blow
    them off as "fantasies".

    In classical physics there are never coordinate speeds or proper speeds.

    Actually now that I think of it, neither would modern physics. "Proper
    speed" would mean the speed of an object in its own frame. Which would
    be 0 by definition, of course. So we can dismiss with "coordinate speed"
    and "proper speed", there's just speed/velocity.

    Just one velocity relative to the observer.

    So you're actually correct for once! Shall we celebrate?

    It’s like when I ask you guys..’Can light travel at constant speeds at c isotropically under SR ‘ ?

    The answer is "yes" of course.

    I also know there is zero evidence to back up these claims

    Except for all the scientific observations and experimental evidence.

    Win a Nobel prize for pointing out SR is a pack of lies? Impossible.

    Nope. Just one piece of evidence, if it existed, would disprove SR and

    guaranteed Nobel Prize for the discoverer.

    If that was the case then after about 1906...SR would have ended up
    in the dustbin.

    That's true. But since no such evidence ever existed, that never
    happened. No matter how hard many scientists tried. No matter how many
    kooks kooked.

    Pretty well every prediction made by relativity has failed. Or at least been better modelled by a classical model.

    Name just one. (and go collect your Nobel Prize).

    The relativists handing out the prize only give out Nobel prizes to relativists.
    No, the Nobel committee gives out prizes (in physics anyway) to the
    discoverers of major physics discoveries. A disproof of SR (within its
    realm) would be a MAJOR discovery. Also, over they ears many scientists
    have worked to disprove SR, perhaps even with the prize in mind. None
    have ever been successful. Of course the rants of crackpots isn't
    disproof of anything.

    Every week I read a new observation...that has just refuted an old theoretical
    prediction that probably got the fantasist a Nobel.
    JWST data showing endless billions of mature galaxies where none were predicted must have invalidated a few dozen Nobel prize awards.

    That's how science works. New data updates poorer quality old data,
    meaning some features need to be tweaked. And I doubt any Nobels were invalidated, they are conservative enough with the physics prize so that
    it doesn't depend on poor measurements.


    Including evidence from Sagnac and MMX experiments which show
    that contrary to false evidence free claims by SR....light CAN travel isotropically
    at constant speeds and c in non inertial rotating frames.

    Both Sagnac and MMX support SR. The best you can do is that, I believe, >>>> Sagnac in a vacuum (not a medium with speed c/n like fibre optics) is
    supported by ballistic light and SR, but Sagnac in a medium only by SR. >>>
    Ballistic light is a fantasy invented by relativists before they converted to the

    Light is a wave-particle duality. Ballistic light treats light as if
    moving on a path as a particle would.

    Nor is there a shred of evidence to prove it is.

    The photoelectric effect.

    It can be modeled as well if not better by waves. The Grangier
    coincidence experiment doesn’t do as good a job at modelling the
    coincident rate as a wave only model can.
    So much for the only ‘evidence’ that relativists and QT supporters Ever even had a hope of using as proof of their theories.

    No, some light interaction can be better modeled as waves and other
    better modeled as a particle. Some famous scientist (I forget who)
    called light "wavicles".

    Nowadays we have QED, which explains it all differently. But just like
    Newton's incorrect mechanics, wave or particle models are still used
    because they are much simpler than full blown QED.

    The closest
    “evidence” you have are PMT “detections”. And they can easily be modeled

    Word salad.

    Waves aren’t word salad.

    Single words aren't word salad just like a single slice of cucumber

    Depends. If light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames
    relative to sources as per an aether free emission model. Then the path length doesn’t change for this emission model.
    As observed in MMX with the null result.
    ( The two mirrors rotate around the source at the same distance.)

    But with SR...it depends on what you define as an inertial frame.
    Relativists seem to change its definition whenever it suits them.
    For instance the lab/MMX is rotating around earths N-S axis at
    1630 k/h and speeding at 30km sec around the sun. What frame is
    your inertial frame in under SR?
    Does it A)stay still relative to the earths axis but not rotate around the axis
    with the lab so it’s travelling in a straight line along with the earth axis at
    30ks around sun. In which case the actual real experiment rotates down
    and away from the inertial frame. Making the EW path length longer or shorter. But not the NS path
    Or B)does the “inertial “ frame not rotate with the lab but move away in a
    straight line from the lab at 1630k/s relative to the axis? Meaning it’s travelling in a straight line at 30ks + 1630kh?
    How do you define your inertial frame re MMX, the lab and the
    earths rotation. If under SR it’s B) then there will be a shorter or
    longer path for the EW arm.
    If it’s A) there will also be a path difference.

    Maybe SRT should change its name to “The Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t” theory.


    But not shortening the N-S light beam.
    And thus giving a path difference between the two beams which
    could be detected by MMX when the 2 arms beams are rotated 90degrees.

    No, some light interaction can be better modeled as waves and other
    better modeled as a particle. Some famous scientist (I forget who)
    called light "wavicles".

    There isn’t a single piece of evidence that can be modelled as well as
    a wave theory does. And the only “evidence” for light as a photon is
    PMT point like detections. But those points are actually only representations by electric circuits, software and LED screens showing a dot which is in fact Light wave energy being quantised by the detectors ‘resonant system’ atoms. And famous experiments like Aspect et al prove that waves are
    better at modelling light and coincident rates than QT particles .
    Because waves can explain ALL the rates Aspect observed, even below minimum energy thresholds. Whereas QT cannot explain energy and
    coincident rates that were observed below a minimum energy limit. Because according to QT....there should be ZERO detections below this threshold.
    So the dishonest theorists pretend it’s “unexplained residuals” 😂🤣😂🤣
    Liars.

    Nowadays we have QED, which explains it all differently. But just like Newton's incorrect mechanics, wave or particle models are still used
    because they are much simpler than full blown QED.

    The closest
    “evidence” you have are PMT “detections”. And they can easily be modeled
    as wave only light being quantised by the detector atoms.

    Word salad.

    Waves aren’t word salad.
    Single words aren't word salad just like a single slice of cucumber
    isn't a salad. It's the jumble of words that make a word salad.
    But yes...I know relativists and QT fanatics
    Don’t like waves. Even though all existing observations in physics show Light and atoms are wave like only.
    Except for things like the photoelectric effect.

    Come on Volney. Did anyone actually SEE a photon hitting
    a detector? No.
    What happened was a QT fanatic pretended that wave energy was quantised
    by a resonant system atom at the detector.

    Here’s a good analogy. Waves in a pool wash up against a
    bucket at the edge of the pool. Whenever the bucket fills with water,..it
    is triggered to empty its contents in one pulse so as to deliver a quantised amount of energy to a detector.
    The intelligent observer knows this is water waves energy being quantised
    at the detector. The moronic particle theorists thinks someone is
    throwing balls at the detector.

    incorrect prediction of relativity, not from something else.

    💩

    Yes that describes just about everything you have posted.

    Both of those are potential issues with cosmology, which may be in
    cosmology itself, or (less likely) in an underlying theory. You have no evidence of relativity being the issue.

    Ballistic light is a fantasy invented by relativists before they converted to the
    fantasy of photons and relativity. Light isn’t a particle.

    Light is a wave-particle duality. Ballistic light treats light as if >>>>>> moving on a path as a particle would.

    Nor is there a shred of evidence to prove it is.

    The photoelectric effect.

    It can be modeled as well if not better by waves. The Grangier
    coincidence experiment doesn’t do as good a job at modelling the
    coincident rate as a wave only model can.
    So much for the only ‘evidence’ that relativists and QT supporters Ever
    even had a hope of using as proof of their theories.
    No, some light interaction can be better modeled as waves and other
    better modeled as a particle. Some famous scientist (I forget who)
    called light "wavicles".

    There isn’t a single piece of evidence that can be modelled as well as >>> a wave theory does.

    Except the photoelectric effect.

    ALL experiments have experimental errors. I don't know the details of
    the one you describe so I can't comment whether you completely
    misinterpreted something (likely) or there are tiny experimental errors
    preventing the measurement of something to be not exactly 0.

    If you don’t want to read how QT theorists couldnt explain results
    of their landmark coincidence rate experimental results. Then yes I expected as much. You relativists just hate any empirical observations

    Nope. In science, observations and experimental results rule. Meanwhile, antirelativity cranks drool.

    The data always refutes your theory of “Special Maybe it can,
    Maybe it can’t Relativity”

    Examples? Don't forget to tell the Nobel committee!

    The closest
    “evidence” you have are PMT “detections”. And they can easily be modeled
    as wave only light being quantised by the detector atoms.

    Word salad.

    Waves aren’t word salad.

    Single words aren't word salad just like a single slice of cucumber
    isn't a salad. It's the jumble of words that make a word salad.

    But yes...I know relativists and QT fanatics
    Don’t like waves. Even though all existing observations in physics show >>>>> Light and atoms are wave like only.

    Except for things like the photoelectric effect.

    Come on Volney. Did anyone actually SEE a photon hitting
    a detector? No.

    Yes. Even in the bubble chamber times, there are many, many photographs
    of 'pair production' where a single photon becomes an e+e- pair. No way
    to do that with a pure wave theory.

    You saw the particle actually zip through the cloud chamber?

    They move much too fast (nearly c) to "see them zipping through" a cloud chamber. The path instantaneously appears and expands and fades. A kid
    at my kid's high school set up a Wilson cloud chamber. It was neat to
    watch. A path would instantaneously appear at semi-random locations
    based on the location of a mildly radioactive source. A crystal of
    potassium compound IIRC. Some came from muons.

    Wow. Were you drinking by any chance?

    There was alcohol involved but nobody was drinking the pure (isopropyl) alcohol.

    Anyway, it's a neat effect. There should be plenty of Youtube videos of
    it. Find them and watch them.

    Anyways “particle paths “ seen in various experiments are caused by overlapping waves. Notice it’s called I N T E R F E R E N C E patterns. Caused by ...yes, believe it or not, wavefronts creating destructive and constructive interference patterns.

    Nope. You obviously have no idea how a Wilson cloud chamber or a bubble
    chamber work. An energetic particle ionizes gas molecules along its path
    and they become nuclei for condensation in the supersaturated alcohol
    vapor, forming tiny droplets along its path (Wilson cloud chamber) which
    are visible.

    Here’s a good analogy. Waves in a pool wash up against a
    bucket at the edge of the pool. Whenever the bucket fills with water,..it >>> is triggered to empty its contents in one pulse so as to deliver a quantised
    amount of energy to a detector.

    Doesn't work for the photoelectric effect, or pair production.

    Only if you aren’t a physicist and don’t understand things like interference.

    No interference effects in the photoelectric effect. It cannot be
    explained by the wave model of light.

    Or concepts like annulus rings. Notice NASA and GPS regularly
    use overlapping 2, 3 or multiple overlapping emr waves when calculating annulus rings or geographical locations.

    Nothing to do with the photoelectric effect, pair production etc.

    But Thats physics. And relativists don’t do physics.

    You don't understand physics. But it appears that a common mental
    illness is to obsess with disproving relativity without understanding
    physics.

    It's strange, but look how many victims of this form of insanity are
    present here. Including yourself, of course. Runs in the family.

    Depends. If light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames
    I just said the effect cancels on the return path.
    As observed in MMX with the null result.
    The MMX gave null results because there is no aether wind.

    True, there is no aether wind and then there is no aether. Never was.
    It was made up by relativists before they started calling the aether spacetime instead.
    The aether concept was about 100 years old by the time Einstein came along.
    Anyways, regardless, the MMX results prove light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.
    That is unless you want to prove that the earth is flat and it and the /MMX/lab
    dont rotate around the earths axis...
    Since the MMX isn't sensitive to rotations, your claim is false.

    But with SR...it depends on what you define as an inertial frame.
    No, it doesn't. Experimental results don't influence the outcome.
    Relativists seem to change its definition whenever it suits them.
    For instance the lab/MMX is rotating around earths N-S axis at
    1630 k/h and speeding at 30km sec around the sun. What frame is
    your inertial frame in under SR?
    Does it A)stay still relative to the earths axis but not rotate around the axis
    with the lab so it’s travelling in a straight line along with the earth axis at
    30ks around sun. In which case the actual real experiment rotates down >>> and away from the inertial frame. Making the EW path length longer or >>> shorter. But not the NS path
    The experiment is in the lab frame which is 1*10^-6 fringes away from
    being inertial, unmeasurable.

    [snip crap]

    Just the answer I expected from you.
    I predicted that relativists don’t even know what an inertial frame is.
    It is you who doesn't understand the concept of frames in physics,
    inertial or not.
    Handy for covering up the fact that the “Special Maybe it can, maybe
    it can’t theory” just can’t model any experimental results. Let alone MMX.
    The MMX isn't sensitive to rotations, according to experimental results
    (and theory).

    Answer the question. Does the inertial frame travel in
    uniform straight motion along with the earth at 30ks?
    What's a "ks"?
    Or Does it travel with the earth in uniform straight motion
    at 30ks plus the extra tangential velocity of 1631 k/ hr from the
    setups tangential motion due to earth rotation?
    Or Does it stay at rest relative to sun and let the earth travel away in a seperate
    Frame?
    Does it move at all relative to sun or earth or earths rotation in
    the finite-amount of time that light takes to travel to the mirrors and back?
    Do relativists even know what an inertial frame is?
    If you have to ask what an inertial frame is with those possibilities,
    it's clear you just don't understand what an inertial frame even is. Go

    Pretty well every prediction made by relativity has failed. Or at least been

    Name just one. (and go collect your Nobel Prize).

    They don’t give out Nobel prizes to theorists who use empirical data.

    That's a conflict with cosmology, not relativity.

    SOHO data on 7 times too much
    G ray emissions than your theory allows.

    That's a conflict with cosmology, not relativity.

    Problem with this is the Big Bang and the Standard Model are based firmly on the assumptions of relativity. Without relativity, you
    wouldnt have either Big Bang or the standard model.
    Yet you are unable to find a flaw in relativity which leads to the
    conflict in cosmology you claim. Without a specific flaw in relativity leading to it, there is no way this alleged flaw in cosmology (assuming
    it even is a flaw) disproves relativity in any way.

    I repeat: You wrote "Pretty well every prediction made by relativity has failed." Point out just one, and go collect your Nobel Prize.
    Which incidentally, were both invented to save relativity when empirical observations refuting relativity came in thick and fast in the 20th C.
    Again, name just one.



    And Fermi data on muons not behaving
    at all like your theory predicts.
    That's a tiny effect, which indirectly shows how damn close QFT theories >> predict such things, but not as close as they thought. A tiny effect,
    not "not behaving at all like your theory predicts".

    “Yes guv..it wasn’t relativity’s fault. Those particles decided they didn’t

    Nothing to do with exceeding the speed of light. Particle physics
    predicts a certain effect to many digits of resolution. Measurements
    match but not to as many digits of resolution. A tiny effect, but a significant one, which means some sort of new/different physics (with a small effect) involved. (and not necessarily involving relativity, in particular nothing disproving it)

    ALL refuting Relativity based theory.

    If you think MMx is not sensitive enough to to test for constancy and isotropy of
    light in non inertial frames then how do you know that if it *was* sensitive enough
    it would not give a null result?
    You also forget that if it was sensitive enough and did not give a null result...
    it might refute constant isotropic speeds of light in non inertial frames. But it would also refute SR. Because SR is based on the assumption that MMX
    cannot predict a non null result.
    Anyways, you also have a ridiculous contradiction in your logic when you
    say above that MMX isn’t sensitive enough *currently* to detect rotation if there were any. Yet in other posts you and other relativists have said...MMX was designed NEVER to be able to detect rotation. Regardless of how sensitive to rotation it could made to be as an experiment.

    If you think MMx is not sensitive enough to to test for constancy and isotropy of light in non inertial frames then how do you know that if
    it *was* sensitive enough it would not give a null result?

    You are just making stuff up, and repeating your previous idiocies.

    1. The MMX most definitely WAS able to operate successfully and yield a
    null result for the non-inertial 'frame' of its lab on the surface of
    the earth. Because the difference between that non-inertial 'frame' and
    a truly inertial frame is too small for the instrument to measure.
    2. Other non-inertial 'frames' were not used.
    3. For most non-inertial 'frames' it would be impossible to use the
    instrument at all.

    Example: imagine putting the MMX instrument inside a truck, and then accelerating that truck at 1 g along a smooth and straight highway. The apparatus would not even rotate because the float carrying the
    interferometer in the mercury bath would be stuck on the back edge of
    the bath. If you imagine taking the 3-vector sum of the truck's
    acceleration and the acceleration due to gravity, and orient the
    instrument so that is "local vertical", then it would probably be able
    to rotate, but the orientation-dependent strains on the arms would be
    much larger than the rigidity necessary (gravity pulls equally on all
    parts of the instrument, but the acceleration does not).

    [...] SR is based on the assumption that MMX cannot predict a non
    null result.

    That is complete nonsense, and merely displays your comprehensive
    ignorance. In 1905 Einstein was at most only distantly aware of the MMX;
    he CERTAINLY did not use it in developing SR (just read his 1905 paper).

    You REALLY need to learn what SR is, and what it isn't. Until and unless
    you understand the theory, WITHOUT YOUR ADDED FANTASIES, you have no
    hope of "disproving SR" (or whatever the Hell it is you are trying to do).

    [... further nonsense omitted]

    You are overly repetitive. Don't expect me to continue.

    You don’t seem to understand the difference. If there were an aether
    ( which there isn’t) then LIGO possibly could detect this imaginary 30k/s ether wind.
    AND also detect the additional daily +-1600 k/hr speed from earths 24 rotation around earths axis.
    But MMX did not detect an aether wind. From earths rotation speed or
    our speed around sun.
    Which is why I said that this proves that light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames. Seeing as the MMX and lab are
    in non inertial frames.
    You relativists then said the null result wasn’t sensitive enough and that
    a more sensitive LIGO sized MMX *could* detect speed differences on
    both paths refuting my claim that MMX proves light travels at constant
    speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.
    I then said...only if you could rotate the LIGO sized MMX <>90 degrees
    in the LIGO sized lab as the LIGO sized lab rotated around the earths axis.
    At which point you guys went off into the Loony sphere and pretended
    I was talking about detecting the 30 k/s aether wind again.
    I wasn’t. I know there is no aether or aether wind.
    I’m discussing whether or not an MMX can detect if light can or cannot travel at isotropic constant speeds in the non inertial lab frame.
    And to do do that you have to see if the EW path of MMX arm had
    a different path length then when it was if the arms were rotated in a circle within a time frame of *just a few minutes*
    Just as the original MMX setup was rotated over *just a few minutes* to
    check for path speed differences on the same arm.
    LIGO size may be sensitive enough...but it cannot be rotated in a circle
    in minutes...like the original MMX was.

    If you think MMx is not sensitive enough to to test for constancy and isotropy of light in non inertial frames then how do you know that if
    it *was* sensitive enough it would not give a null result?
    You are just making stuff up, and repeating your previous idiocies.

    1. The MMX most definitely WAS able to operate successfully and yield a
    null result for the non-inertial 'frame' of its lab on the surface of
    the earth. Because the difference between that non-inertial 'frame' and
    a truly inertial frame is too small for the instrument to measure.
    2. Other non-inertial 'frames' were not used.
    3. For most non-inertial 'frames' it would be impossible to use the instrument at all.

    Example: imagine putting the MMX instrument inside a truck, and then accelerating that truck at 1 g along a smooth and straight highway. The apparatus would not even rotate because the float carrying the interferometer in the mercury bath would be stuck on the back edge of
    the bath. If you imagine taking the 3-vector sum of the truck's
    acceleration and the acceleration due to gravity, and orient the
    instrument so that is "local vertical", then it would probably be able
    to rotate, but the orientation-dependent strains on the arms would be
    much larger than the rigidity necessary (gravity pulls equally on all
    parts of the instrument, but the acceleration does not).

    [...] SR is based on the assumption that MMX cannot predict a non
    null result.

    That is complete nonsense, and merely displays your comprehensive
    ignorance. In 1905 Einstein was at most only distantly aware of the MMX;
    he CERTAINLY did not use it in developing SR (just read his 1905 paper).

    You REALLY need to learn what SR is, and what it isn't. Until and unless
    you understand the theory, WITHOUT YOUR ADDED FANTASIES, you have no
    hope of "disproving SR" (or whatever the Hell it is you are trying to do).

    [... further nonsense omitted]

    You seem to have a problem reading my posts. You just pretend I
    am talking about detecting an aether wind from earths rotation around sun.
    I am NOT. You are fantasising about what I claim.
    Look back in this thread and others. I have said in all threads that MMX rotates
    around earth whilst giving the null result. Indicating that yes I already know that
    there is *no aether wind*...
    What Im saying is.... that because the setup rotates
    AROUND THE EARTHS AXIS 24 hours a day it is in a non inertial frame and also proves that contrary to predictions by SR...light can travel at isotropic constant
    speeds in a non inertial source. And this is consistent with MMX results to date.

    You relativists then claimed MMX null result isnt evidence enough to prove isotropic
    constant speeds are possible in non inertial frames. Pretending that a more sensitive
    MMX would prove me wrong and detect rotation of lab around earths axis even though
    it detects no ether wind.
    Fact free claim. Because you need the results of this imaginary super sensitive
    MMX experiment to prove that in a aether free universe light cannot travel at isotropic constant speeds in non inertial frames. And you haven’t got it yet.

    And pretending LIGO is the MMX experiment proves me wrong is complete illogical fact free nonsense. Because in a universe without an aether the only way to
    check if the LIGO sized MMX arms can detect *lab/earths rotation* would be to have
    both arms ROTATING in the LIGO sized lab whilst the setup itself rotates around the earths axis.

    !!You told me why they used the mercury bed!! Hilarious.
    No you didn’t. You tried to claim that MMX, like LIGO didn’t ever even need to
    be rotated in the lab and still be able to test for a null or non null
    result.
    Here’s your original post:
    (Volney quote sept 20 this thread: “A ‘perfect’ MMX device will have a zero
    enclosed area so it would be insensitive to earth's rotation so the answer >>> really is LIGO devices are really oversized MMX devices and the
    rotation of the earth doesn't seem to bother them. “)
    You are very, Very, VERY confused. The LIGO detectors, obviously being
    attached to earth, rotate with it.
    How do you figure a LIGO is a MMX type device?
    Because it has the EXACT SAME DESIGN as the MMX, just massively scaled
    up and without the mercury pool.
    Two arms at right angles to each other generating fringe shifts from
    interference from the two paths.

    Maybe you don't understand a MMX detecting an ether wind (if it existed)
    and (not) detecting rotation. Do you actually understand the difference?

    You don’t seem to understand the difference. If there were an aether
    ( which there isn’t) then LIGO possibly could detect this imaginary 30k/s ether wind.

    What's a k/s? 30000/second? Or 33.333 microhertz?

    AND also detect the additional daily +-1600 k/hr speed from earths 24 rotation
    around earths axis.

    0.00225 Hz?

    But MMX did not detect an aether wind. From earths rotation speed or
    our speed around sun.

    Correct, so far.

    Which is why I said that this proves that light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.

    Since the difference between the earth frame and the ideal inertial
    frame is 10^-6 fringe, which is not detectable, you cannot realistically
    claim that. Besides, there are no proofs in physics, only disproofs.

    Seeing as the MMX and lab are
    in non inertial frames.
    You relativists then said the null result wasn’t sensitive enough and that a more sensitive LIGO sized MMX *could* detect speed differences on
    both paths refuting my claim that MMX proves light travels at constant
    speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.

    Except the LIGO machines are MMX interferometers which are designed not
    to be sensitive to rotation, and the LIGO machines are designed to a
    much higher standards than the original MMX interferometer which was insensitive to rotation. The LIGO systems COULD, in theory, be super
    sensitive to the ether wind...if it existed.

    I then said...only if you could rotate the LIGO sized MMX <>90 degrees
    in the LIGO sized lab as the LIGO sized lab rotated around the earths axis.

    The earth does all the rotation that's needed.

    At which point you guys went off into the Loony sphere and pretended
    I was talking about detecting the 30 k/s aether wind again.

    The ether wind blows at 33.333 microhertz? That makes no sense.

    I wasn’t. I know there is no aether or aether wind.
    I’m discussing whether or not an MMX can detect if light can or cannot travel at isotropic constant speeds in the non inertial lab frame.
    And to do do that you have to see if the EW path of MMX arm had
    a different path length then when it was if the arms were rotated in a circle within a time frame of *just a few minutes*

    Light transverses the MMX in nanoseconds, not a few minutes.

    Just as the original MMX setup was rotated over *just a few minutes* to
    check for path speed differences on the same arm.
    LIGO size may be sensitive enough...but it cannot be rotated in a circle
    in minutes...like the original MMX was.

    The earth does all the rotation. Sure it takes longer but so what?


    Anyway, you are talking in circles, holding both the beliefs that LIGO,
    despite rotating with the earth can't detect the rotation, while the
    original MMX system could, despite the rotation in several nanoseconds
    is trivial. This is going nowhere, and as Gary reminds us, you are just
    insane anyway. So go have the last word, I am done with this thread.

    They don't.

    The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame.


    Paul. It’s time for you to retire. Let me show you why.
    Here’s 2 quotes from YOUR posts to me on this thread:

    Quote 1) “The lab frame can't be considered an inertial frame for >>>>> the Sagnac experiment. “

    Quote2) “ The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame. ” >>>>>
    Trivial. The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame, which isn't
    the lab frame but some other frame.

    So you are suggesting that the mirrors axis of rotation is also
    rotating relative to the Sagnac lab?
    Prove this.
    I already answered this a second time. I will type slower so that you >> can keep up. There is the lab frame. Rotates once every 24 hours with >> the earth. There is an inertial frame, centered on the center of the
    Sagnac device, with its z axis along the axis of rotation of the Sagnac >> device. There is the non-inertial frame of the Sagnac device itself,
    with the same center as the second frame and the same z axis, but it
    rotates such that the Sagnac device is stationary in it. Again note that
    this is not an inertial frame, it rotates!

    So three frames.

    You see 3 frames!!! That’s a rare affliction
    Normally when a person has had too much to drink they
    only see double. Did you take some extra pharma too?
    I see you don't understand the concept of "frame" in the context of physics. There are an infinite number of frames, and every single object in the universe is in every one of these infinitely many frames. The Sagnac device, the lab, the lab scientists, you and I are all in all
    three of those frames, as well as infinitely many others.

    The three I mentioned are only selected because using them instead of others makes calculations easier. All that (inertial) frames are are specifications for an origin, directions (for x, y, z) and relative velocity. They are not anything physical. To see how something viewed in one frame appears in another frame, you have to use a transformation of some sort. In modern physics when going from an inertial frame to
    another inertial frame you'd use the Lorentzian transformation. To go
    from the rotating-with-Sagnac frame to the inertial centered-on-Sagnac frame you'd need a transformation to deal with the rotation.

    You should apologize for exposing your ignorance like that.
    It seems the idea includes that "pseudo-moments" include moments and metrics,
    then for "means, moments, and metrics", that the interface of different metrics is means,
    to make for a sort of "yes these inertial frames like the origin are everywhere, though,
    they're also boxed or encircled to the inertial systems within them", about basically
    what reflects for "Dirac positronic sea / Einstein white-hole foam", what is _about_,
    "an" inertial frame.

    So, when you look to the pseudo-differential, from quantum field theory, it sorts of a
    general form, ....

    Anyways these days I'm wondering about, "pseudo-moments", which conflate moment and metric,
    then for "moments, means, and metrics", about, that, "it's a gauge theory, but what the real gauge
    is, is about as inscrutable as Einstein's "just putting a well metric on the flat space-time wherever
    there's a gravity well", when really it's a bit more "the scribble".

    That metrics share frames and vice-versa, is a usual misperception, because it's also true,
    that they do, some, and don't, others.

    It's really geometry's "maybe it will help to think of points everywhere, but, that have
    an abstractly finite non-zero volume, or volume elements".

    Anyways with space constantly changing according to the motion of objects in frames,
    _and thusly their frames themselves_, squirting through space, that "at least some of
    the space an object is in goes along with it", it's to be kept in mind "remember: the geodesy
    is always instantaneously evaluated, and, immediately out of date".


    An inertial frame is not an inertial frame as once it moves it is an "inertial-system".

    MMX confirms that light travels at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.

    That’s faster then c isn’t it? I thought that was impossible under relativity.

    No youve got it all wrong. I never said LIGO couldnt detect an aether wind
    in the solar frame.
    Technically it’s 4km arms should be long enough and it could a shift
    if there was an aether.
    However it doesn’t detect a path difference. So there isn’t an aether

    But being a low IQ relativist, you don’t seem to understand that path difference
    due to earth rotation in an aether free universe is a different phenomena
    than path difference due to earths speed around the sun in an aether universe. Because LIGO could not detect a fringe shift due to the earths rotation speed of 1600k/h rotation of earth in an *aether free* universe.
    Because to do so you would have to rotate the two 4km arms so that each
    arm could detect a path difference due to earths rotation. Otherwise if you didn’t,
    each arm would always be showing the an unchanging path length for the whole 24 hour rotation. (rotation speed 1600k/hr never changes over 24 hours)
    But you don’t understand maths or geometry.
    So I doubt you will understand how LIGO can’t detect earths rotation in an Aether free universe. Physics is hard for fact free relativists.
    By the way... the only reason there could be a fringe shift due to earths rotation
    ...is because relativists like yourself inadvertently and incorrectly *predicted there
    should be one* in an aether free universe when you falsely claimed light cannot
    travel at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames. Because if your
    prediction was correct than this would be observed by a sensitive enough
    MMX as a....PATH DIFFERENCE due to earths rotation in an aether free universe when the Experiment is rotated in the lab.
    Personally I don’t think any MMX type setup however sensitive will ever deliver
    a non null result. Because all other relevent experiments like Sagnac show
    that light does indeed travel at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.

    They don't.

    The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame.


    Paul. It’s time for you to retire. Let me show you why.
    Here’s 2 quotes from YOUR posts to me on this thread:

    Quote 1) “The lab frame can't be considered an inertial frame for
    the Sagnac experiment. “

    Quote2) “ The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame. ” >>>>>
    Trivial. The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame, which isn't
    the lab frame but some other frame.

    So you are suggesting that the mirrors axis of rotation is also
    rotating relative to the Sagnac lab?
    Prove this.
    I already answered this a second time. I will type slower so that you >> can keep up. There is the lab frame. Rotates once every 24 hours with >> the earth. There is an inertial frame, centered on the center of the >> Sagnac device, with its z axis along the axis of rotation of the Sagnac
    device. There is the non-inertial frame of the Sagnac device itself, >> with the same center as the second frame and the same z axis, but it >> rotates such that the Sagnac device is stationary in it. Again note that
    this is not an inertial frame, it rotates!

    So three frames.

    You see 3 frames!!! That’s a rare affliction
    Normally when a person has had too much to drink they
    only see double. Did you take some extra pharma too?
    I see you don't understand the concept of "frame" in the context of physics. There are an infinite number of frames, and every single object in the universe is in every one of these infinitely many frames. The Sagnac device, the lab, the lab scientists, you and I are all in all three of those frames, as well as infinitely many others.

    The three I mentioned are only selected because using them instead of others makes calculations easier. All that (inertial) frames are are specifications for an origin, directions (for x, y, z) and relative velocity. They are not anything physical. To see how something viewed in one frame appears in another frame, you have to use a transformation of some sort. In modern physics when going from an inertial frame to another inertial frame you'd use the Lorentzian transformation. To go from the rotating-with-Sagnac frame to the inertial centered-on-Sagnac frame you'd need a transformation to deal with the rotation.

    You should apologize for exposing your ignorance like that.
    It seems the idea includes that "pseudo-moments" include moments and metrics,
    then for "means, moments, and metrics", that the interface of different metrics is means,
    to make for a sort of "yes these inertial frames like the origin are everywhere, though,
    they're also boxed or encircled to the inertial systems within them", about basically
    what reflects for "Dirac positronic sea / Einstein white-hole foam", what is _about_,
    "an" inertial frame.

    So, when you look to the pseudo-differential, from quantum field theory, it sorts of a
    general form, ....

    Anyways these days I'm wondering about, "pseudo-moments", which conflate moment and metric,
    then for "moments, means, and metrics", about, that, "it's a gauge theory, but what the real gauge
    is, is about as inscrutable as Einstein's "just putting a well metric on the flat space-time wherever
    there's a gravity well", when really it's a bit more "the scribble".

    That metrics share frames and vice-versa, is a usual misperception, because it's also true,
    that they do, some, and don't, others.

    It's really geometry's "maybe it will help to think of points everywhere, but, that have
    an abstractly finite non-zero volume, or volume elements".

    Anyways with space constantly changing according to the motion of objects in frames,
    _and thusly their frames themselves_, squirting through space, that "at least some of
    the space an object is in goes along with it", it's to be kept in mind "remember: the geodesy
    is always instantaneously evaluated, and, immediately out of date".


    An inertial frame is not an inertial frame as once it moves it is an "inertial-system".

    Interesting. I can’t get any clarification from relativists how their imaginary
    inertial frames relate to real rotating frames like MMX /lab frame
    So in your opinion under SR how does the relativist’s inertial frame relate to the actual rotating lab frame. (The frame that rotates around the earth
    whilst light goes out and back in MMX)
    My best understanding of these SR wackos is that their “inertial” frame goes in a straight path tangental to the lab due to earths rotation
    from the point the light beam left the source. In which case I can only
    assume that the imaginary “inertial” frame travels in a straight line relative
    to earths axis whilst the lab rotates in a circle and slowly diverges
    from the “inertial” frame.

    Kind of like when you are driving on a motorway on the inside lane.
    And the car on the outside lane starts to turn off the motorway as its
    lane curves off from parallel to perpendicular to get off the motorway.
    If both your car on the motorway lane and the car on its curved lane
    are travelling at the same speed....the car on the curved lane still falls behind your
    car relative to your cars direction of travel on the motorway.
    Does that make sense to you?
    Relativist don’t understand basic physics so it’s hard to describe
    basic physics to them.

    You keep trying to phrase this to imply that it means more than is

    For example, the MMX cannot distinguish between a locally inertial frame

    repaints the fringes in the eyepiece every 70 ns or so, and during such

    We’ve already covered this. If, as you say current MMX is not sensitive enough
    to detect any rotation of the experiment and lab during the finite time light takes to travel there and back, then this does not not disprove the prediction that light can travel at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames. Don’t forget the relativists mantra. A theory isn’t ever proven,.,its disproven.
    After all if MMx gives a null result that is consistent with a prediction
    of isotropic constant speeds in non inertial frames, and MMX is in a non inertial frame then you haven’t disproven the prediction that light can travel at constant speeds isotropically in non inertial frames.
    You need proof to disprove a theory. You can’t disprove a theory
    with an assumption, as you are trying to do here.
    And don’t forget. If you could get a sensitive enough MMX and it
    did not give a null result as you hope it does....it will also refute SR.

    You don’t understand basic maths and geometry. If you have a point x
    situated on the circumference of a circle and it took two paths. One
    was in a straight line in a tangent to the circle on an axis defined as the
    x axis. And the second path was in a circular path around the circle.
    If the speed of both was the same and you measured how far each
    travelled in the x axis in time t ....then the point travelling in a circle DOES
    NOT travel as far in the x axis as the point travelling in a straight line
    on the x axis does.
    Basic maths you can’t understand.

    intended to make measurements at multiple orientations, and the rotation is an INSTRUMENTATION EFFECT used to implement that. Competent experimenters ensure that such instrumentation effects do not affect
    their measurement.

    You don’t understand basic maths and geometry.

    He doesn't need to, his idiot guru has announced
    basic math geometry obsolete and inadequate.

    Paul. It’s time for you to retire. Let me show you why.
    Here’s 2 quotes from YOUR posts to me on this thread:

    Quote 1) “The lab frame can't be considered an inertial frame for >>>>> the Sagnac experiment. “

    Quote2) “ The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame. ” >>>>>
    Trivial. The Sagnac ring is rotating in an inertial frame, which isn't
    the lab frame but some other frame.

    So you are suggesting that the mirrors axis of rotation is also
    rotating relative to the Sagnac lab?
    Prove this.
    I already answered this a second time. I will type slower so that you >> can keep up. There is the lab frame. Rotates once every 24 hours with >> the earth. There is an inertial frame, centered on the center of the
    Sagnac device, with its z axis along the axis of rotation of the Sagnac >> device. There is the non-inertial frame of the Sagnac device itself,
    with the same center as the second frame and the same z axis, but it
    rotates such that the Sagnac device is stationary in it. Again note that
    this is not an inertial frame, it rotates!

    So three frames.

    You see 3 frames!!! That’s a rare affliction
    Normally when a person has had too much to drink they
    only see double. Did you take some extra pharma too?
    I see you don't understand the concept of "frame" in the context of physics. There are an infinite number of frames, and every single object in the universe is in every one of these infinitely many frames. The Sagnac device, the lab, the lab scientists, you and I are all in all
    three of those frames, as well as infinitely many others.

    The three I mentioned are only selected because using them instead of others makes calculations easier. All that (inertial) frames are are specifications for an origin, directions (for x, y, z) and relative velocity. They are not anything physical. To see how something viewed in one frame appears in another frame, you have to use a transformation of some sort. In modern physics when going from an inertial frame to
    another inertial frame you'd use the Lorentzian transformation. To go
    from the rotating-with-Sagnac frame to the inertial centered-on-Sagnac frame you'd need a transformation to deal with the rotation.

    You should apologize for exposing your ignorance like that.
    It seems the idea includes that "pseudo-moments" include moments and metrics,
    then for "means, moments, and metrics", that the interface of different metrics is means,
    to make for a sort of "yes these inertial frames like the origin are everywhere, though,
    they're also boxed or encircled to the inertial systems within them", about basically
    what reflects for "Dirac positronic sea / Einstein white-hole foam", what is _about_,
    "an" inertial frame.

    So, when you look to the pseudo-differential, from quantum field theory, it sorts of a
    general form, ....

    Anyways these days I'm wondering about, "pseudo-moments", which conflate moment and metric,
    then for "moments, means, and metrics", about, that, "it's a gauge theory, but what the real gauge
    is, is about as inscrutable as Einstein's "just putting a well metric on the flat space-time wherever
    there's a gravity well", when really it's a bit more "the scribble".

    That metrics share frames and vice-versa, is a usual misperception, because it's also true,
    that they do, some, and don't, others.

    It's really geometry's "maybe it will help to think of points everywhere, but, that have
    an abstractly finite non-zero volume, or volume elements".

    Anyways with space constantly changing according to the motion of objects in frames,
    _and thusly their frames themselves_, squirting through space, that "at least some of
    the space an object is in goes along with it", it's to be kept in mind "remember: the geodesy
    is always instantaneously evaluated, and, immediately out of date".

    All correct!

    So virtually zero friction in Low Earth Orbit or better out in interplanetary space is yet an additional reason for Michelson-Morley to be done in outer space.

    Sure.

    But between, yes.

    This is why, I believe, Michelson enlisted the help of his friend Morley,
