Let me see if I'm getting it straight, guys. If an observer at the lab mesures the refractive index of the moving water he/she will get a different value compared with the value that an observer in the water (which sees lab moving) measures? The contraction of the lengths make the density of the...

In 1851 Fizeau made a famous experiment which corroborated de Fresnel's drag coefficient of the luminiferous ether. In the experiment two light beams traveled through a tube of moving water (at 7cm per second), one moving against the water flow (let's called it beam A), and one for the water...
