It is very important for me to know how scientists detect the speed of light in details...because there is something confuses me ...einstein concluded the dilatation of time on basis of that the speed of light is constant even if it comes from a mobile source ... but this fact is supposed to be hidden from us forever because the instruments which measure the speed of light have nothing to do with the dilatation of time ... this matter would be true if the instrument that measures the speed of light is being installed on the light beam ... so , the dilatation of time that happens ... happens to the instrument , hence its scale of time changes .. so the bigger distance per time on a dilated scale of time will give us a constant speed ... but is that how we measure the speed of light ?! Are scientists install the detector on the moving light beam ?! i think they detect the speed with instruments ""outside"" the world of light ... so how is it possible that scientists detect a constant speed of light ...the instrument which is outside the world of light has its scale of time which hasn't been altered ... hasn't been dilated ... so they are supposed to detect higher speed of light coming from a mobile source ... and the fact of dilatation would be hidden from us ...so i want to know ... how the scientists in details detect the speed of light ... may be they have a way of installing the detector on the light beam i don't know about ...knowing that I've read about machelson experiment and his detector as i expected was something in the lab meaning outside the world of light meaning its scale of time is the same not dilated ... so the result of speed was supposed to be higher as for the light from a mobile source ...is there anyone following me ?
