| | | 1. Invariant lightspeed.

| | | 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

| | |
| | |[*] 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.

| A theory on light's propagation.

The postulates for a logical theory on light's propagation.

1) Light exists.

2) Where there is light there is *always* a source for the light.

3) Light obeys Euclid's postulates.
(http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EuclidsPostulates.html).

4) Objects exist.

5) Objects reflect and/or absorb light according to Euclidean
geometrical rules.

6) Light obeys Newton's three postulates of motion, the first
two of which are Galileo's.


OK. What's your position on Maxwell's equations?

Windows Vista. Because a BSOD is just so 20th century; why not
try our new color changing variant?
