> Measure distance. Ops, how do we measure distance? Ok, God wrote the Ten Commandments on a 1 meter plate we can use as standard. Let's get serious and expose the trick. > Divide distance by time Obviously, since the assumed value of c is used in principle to measure the distance in the first place then: v you measure = (c x T) / t where T is the time used in determing the distance and t the time measured from the oscilloscope. But T = t no matter what because the same method and same instrument was used to determine the distance in the first place. Thus, you will always get the assumed value of c for the distance measurement no matter what. THE TRICK: You always get the assumed c no matter what. That is the trick. c is implicit in all distance measurements. Nice trick. Find a standard distance that will not be measured based on an assumption about the speed of light value c and SR goes out of the window in a fanto second. MEASURING c THAT WAY WILL ALWAYS PRODUCE c NOT MATTER WHAT THE ASSUMMED VALUE IS AND IT IS MORE THAN A TRICK. IT IS A RED HERRING FROM THE REAL ISSUE: C IS SPEED OF SOURCE DEPENDENT. Now, SRists, I understand your panic. Shortly, I will reveal a method and apparatus for measuring the speed of light and prove that it is equal to c+v, where v is the speed of the source. It is quite easy if the trick is removed and the magic is exposed. Also, anyone here who understands the trick I JUST exposed can use it as a basis for devising their own test provided they quote me.
