Notice I never actually claimed that MMx is the same as sagnac
nor did I claim MMx is a ring gyro. Thats your fantasy.
However make sure you understand this.. that my central point here is
that
although the two experiments are different setups, one thing remains
the same between the two. THey both have sources that rotate
about a central axis. In other words please note... The MMx and sagnac
sources are for all scientific and practical purposes the *same*
THerefore they are both either inertial or both non inertial.
But SR says that sometimes (in sagnac) the source is non inertial
and yet other times SR claims that the source (in MMx) is inertial.!
THis is inconsistent and unscientific. Which is why I say it
shows that SR is invalid as a theory. It is not consistent when
it comes to explaining the speed of light relative to rotating
sources.
Whereas in fact classical theory is consistent. It states that light
is
always and only at c in the source frame whether it rotates or not.
And in any other frame its variable. And please note the
misinformation
supplied by likes of wikipedia and NedWright. They claim that
classical
theory cannot explain sagnac. This is a false claim as noone has ever
tried to CORRECTLY simulate sagnac with light at c in the source
frame.
I have and I can show scientifically that clasical theory can in fact
explain sagnac. Please see my sagnac 1,2 and 3 simulations at...

If you study ned wrights sagnac explanation youll see that he
has the light at c in the lab frame and variable in the source frame.
So technically he has light travelling at two different speeds
through the fibre gyro!. Thats physically impossible as
in Neds source frame the source does not move relative to the fibre
ring. How then do you explain the fact that the light travels
at one speed clockwise and another speed anticlockwise?( Even
though the source does not moverelative to the fibre ring.)

Its only irrelevent if you want to fiddle the theory to validate SR.
In fact it is relevent because it shows that light has to be at
c in only ONE frame to accomadate both sagnac and MMx. And that frame
is the source frame. As classical predicts and as SR can not predict.
Dont forget SR predicts that light sometimes is not at c in the source
frame(sagnac) Whereas in fact light is never observed to be variable
in the source frame.

You are confused. Sometimes SR says light has to be variable in the
source frame.
THen when its convenient SR sayslight is always at c
in the source frame! Thats inconsistent pseudoscience.

Sure, certain classical theories can explain them both. So what? There
are MANY other experiments that such theories cannot explain; SR on the
other hand explains them all (within its domain).

See the FAQ for over a hundred experiments that confirm
SR; most of them are completely inconsistent with any
classical theory (i.e. pre-SR).

The instruments are VERY different: Sagnac's has a large enclosed area,
and the MMX has zero enclosed area, and this makes all the difference as
far as rotation is concerned.

This is complete nonsense. You should learn about SR before attempting
to describe what it says. And you should learn about the differences in
these two experiments and their instruments. <shrug>

It is a contradiction in your PERSONAL MISCONCEPTIONS about SR. <shrug>

Just what is SR's "domain of applicability" ?

Absolutely correct Roberts Roberts:

http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/29c32844f0766cea?
Tom Roberts: "If it is ultimately discovered that the photon has a
nonzero mass (i.e. light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant
speed of the Lorentz transform), SR would be unaffected but both
Maxwell's equations and QED would be refuted (or rather, their domains
of applicability would be reduced)."

So Roberts Roberts special relativity would explain experiments
showing that "light in vacuum does not travel at the invariant speed
of the Lorentz transform" but also experiments showing that light in
vacuum does travel at the invariant speed of the Lorentz transform. An
incredible theory isn't it Roberts Roberts.

You are confused .. SR says the speed of light is the same, c, in all
inertial frames of reference.
