| | We know the three postulates of SR (two of which are
| | explicitly stated, the third of which is usually stated
| | as a definition):
| |
| | 1. Invariant lightspeed.
| | 2. The same physical laws/rules/properties apply to
| | all inertial reference frames.
| | 3. In a TWLS (A to B) with the second mirror (B) moving,
| | the light takes the same amount of time
| | traveling from A to B as it does traveling
| | from B to A, as observed by A.[*]
| |
| | Since SR is clearly "wrong", according to you, I want to
| | know what is "right".
| |
| |[*] B has a slightly different opinion but can't observe
| | directly the A - B path anyway.
| |
| Those are the three postulates of an illogical theory.
| If the time for light to travel from A to B is t and the time
| for light to travel to B from A is t' then t=t'.
|
|
| I want to know what the postulates are for a logical theory.

What theory would you like?
Evolution?
Plate tectonics?
Kreb's Cycle?
Recombinant DNA?


A theory on light's propagation.
