One way speed of light.

Post #1

Post by olavisjo »

.
Many experiments claiming to test the one way speed of light have been performed, but on closer analysis they have been shown to measure the two way speed of light.

Is it possible to measure the one way speed of light?

Gravity on Earth is not being caused by the Earth's surface accelerating outward or upward toward us.
And yet, we can place an Accelerometer on the surface of the earth and it will register 9.81 m/s^2. We can allow it to free fall or be at rest in space and it will measure zero. Those are facts.

That also puts an end to your personal assertions.

Take this post to your physics professor and ask him or her if there is anything wrong with anything I've said here.

I'm confident that he or she will verify that everything I've said here is accurate and true.

You can't be serious with this post.

And what is your conclusion from this?

That the Earth's surface must then necessarily be accelerating outward?

If that's your conclusion, then I suggest you take your conclusion to your physics professor and he or she will try to explain to you your faulty reasoning.

I wish him or her the very best of luck.

Not understanding that an Accelerometer measures an acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2 while at rest on the surface of the Earth is baffling. In your world, you believe the Accelerometer is exerting that force on the Earth according to your logic. Mind boggling.

I'm done here, dude, this is a waste of time. It doesn't matter what facts I place before you WITH sources, you simply aren't going to get it.
