Undergrad Would circumnavigating the Universe allow one way measurement of light's speed?
If you can measure the size of the universe then you can also measure the time it took the light to loop around and thus measuring its speed.- Flatland

Undergrad Would circumnavigating the Universe allow one way measurement of light's speed?
I asked a very similar question in this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/measuring-the-one-way-speed-of-light.995539/page-5#post-6423799 and one user pointed out that it's no different than using mirrors to bounce that light back to you.- Flatland

From what I understand that would not be a one way measurement of light. You take a spaceship and a measuring tape and loop that measuring tape around the universe.- Flatland

Undergrad Would circumnavigating the Universe allow one way measurement of light's speed?
I suppose you can do it by encoding a message on that beam of light.- Flatland

Undergrad Would circumnavigating the Universe allow one way measurement of light's speed?
Suppose we're in a closed and non-expanding universe. You shine a beam of light in one direction such that it circumnavigates the universe and returns to its starting point from the other side. Now you put a detector at this starting point. Would this be a one way measurement of the speed of...- Flatland

High School Measuring the One Way Speed of Light
Can't you theoretically measure the one way speed of light using a black hole? You shoot a beam of light at the black hole at a geodesic path that curves the light beam back to your detector. Also if the speed of light is directional wouldn't we see this in the CMB where the universe will...- Flatland

Fraser Cain and PBS Space Time is pretty good. Youtube videos are almost never a good source for citations unless it's a University lecture.- Flatland
