Default Thee proper way to simulate and validate the Sagnac Effect

Light has no mass, because experiment shows that for photons, E=p*c.
Since E^2=p^2*c^2+m^2*c^4, we get m=0 for photons.

one could rotate wave reflectors (mirror simulation) in air or water
and record the sagnac effect on sound or water waves....the wave
reflectors (mirrors) disturb the medium thus possibly the ether.


The experiment has been already done by Fizeau. It confirms the SR
explanation of the Sagnac effect.

You should also notice that there is no correlation between sound
waves and water waves to light waves, other than the fact that all are
waves. Sound and water require a medium to propagate the wave, whereas
light is its own medium (no aether needed).

If the ether is an energy field then it could resemble a field of


It's not. The aether doesn't exist. Ether on the other hand is a class
of chemicals that have nothing to do with light.
