In general, you like to try to validate your theories against experiment. However, in this case the one way speed of light is a convention that you choose and not a fact of nature that you measure.

The waves are variations in the field vectors, not wiggles in the position. It travels in a straight line already

That has been my experience too. Peer review has improved my papers, even when the manuscript was rejected by the journal.

Congratulations! For you, what was the biggest lesson you learned from the process?

They will. Does your paper provide something that the first one does not? If so, you should cite the first paper in your introduction, explain what is different, and edit the rest of the paper to focus on what is novel and remove what is not.

No. As you mentioned, you can put 5 J of KE into an electron and get a huge amount of time dilation. The same 5 J of KE into a planet produces essentially no time dilation. This also doesn’t work. I can increase the energy density by many means, such as thermal, chemical, or mechanical. These...

Why? The existence of any finite ##\Delta \tau## is sufficient. @Ibix argument doesn’t rely on there being an upper bound.

That is only a small part of the trick, not even close to the whole trick. Other parts of the trick include 1) we can use any coordinates we choose, including ones like Lemaitre 2) the Schwarzschild coordinates do not cover the horizon itself, so no claim can be made at the horizon based on it...

This is too broad of a statement. The correct statement would be that in Schwarzschild coordinates the coordinate time asymptotically approach infinity as an in falling object approaches the horizon. The Schwarzschild coordinates do not cover the horizon, so you cannot use them to make any...

This is the OWSOL convention used in Anderson, R.; Vetharaniam, I.; Stedman, G. E. (1998), "Conventionality of synchronisation, gauge dependence and test theories of relativity", Physics Reports, 295 (3–4): 93–180. doi:10.1016/S0370-1573(97)00051-3 Anderson is not particularly a seminal author...

Greg will have to make that choice. I was just asking. As far as I can tell, government sites in the US will be required to implement AA standards by 24 April 2026. Private sites are already required to be accessible, but no specific standard is mandated.

This kind of setup is already done all the time. What you describe is any particle accelerator that uses counter-rotating beams. If the velocities differed as you suggest then the beam timing would be off and you would lose your particle bunches. This behavior is not untested. It is tested so...

That is a fine personal opinion to have. My personal opinion is the opposite.

R doesn’t matter. The distance can be as large or small as you like. It doesn’t change the amount of desynchronization if the OWSOL is not isotropic. You should work out the math. The desynchronization depends on Anderson’s kappa, but not R.
