ct is so near to straight that it almost completes a circle.

In a ring gyro, continuous internal reflection occurs. There is an infinite
number of internal mirrors each reflecting the rays at an angle 1/infinity. The
rays effectively travel in straight lines.

For one ray, (c+v)t = (2pi+alpha)R, for the other (c-v)t = (2pi-alpha)R.

alphaR = vt, you silly old dope.
You are saying that ct = 2piR.

t is the same in both cases, only the distance changes.

Ewe are near enough to a sheep, ewe have the same mathematical
abilities as one. The drunken mind of an aussie sheep shagger works
in strange ways, making two spelling mistakes in one sentence,
"enought" and "straght".

**** off.
