One Way Light Speed Measurement – Experimental Proof of Light Speed Isotropy |
Abstract _ |
There is a rather small number of experiments designed to test one way light speed isotropy. The reason for the small number is the higher degree of difficulty in imagining and conducting such experiments. A very good analysis of such experiments is given by C.M.Will in 1. The small number of such experiments enhances the concern when one of them is proven incorrect. In the following paper we will analyze the experiment conducted by Gagnon2. Our paper is a rather unusual and unique one: in the first part of the paper we will show that while the experimental data is valid, the theory behind the experiment is flawed. In the second half of the paper we will show how the corrected theoretical foundation can be used to recover this very valuable experiment. |
