View Full Version : Four simple queries re a one-way light speed case

Since there are various one-way light speed cases
(e.g., Roemer's case, where a clock was transported
along Earth's orbit), it is necessary for me to be
specific, as follows:

Given Apparatus:
An inertial reference system and two of its clocks
located at frame points A and B (on the x axis).

Given Procedure:
Using the two given (nonrotating and nontransported)
clocks, measure the speed of a light ray as it moves
from one clock to the other clock.

Query 1:
Has anyone ever performed the above-specified experiment,
and found the result to be c?

Query 2:
Can anyone show on paper how the result could be c?

Query 3:
Is it possible, if only in principle (or on paper), for
the result to be non-c?

Query 4:
Is there any experimental evidence against Galileo's view
that the result should be c±v?
