Default Gravity Causes Light Speed Anisotropy.

Gravity Causes Light Speed Anisotropy.

The interferometer depicted below was the one I used to demonstrate
the existence of an east-west light speed anisotropy around anything
fixed to the earth's surface.

The detail on that experiment can be found at

But that device is also capable of detecting light speed variations
in the up-down directions. Which is rather mind boggling to me
because nothing whatever could be gleaned from rotating any of my
previous interferometer designs in a direction that would change
its orientation within earth's gravity well because the interference
pattern was immediately thrown into a state of relative chaos as
soon as it was moved.

I had overlooked your thread of one month ago. Although I have big doubts
about the whole experiment, it looks pretty original to me. For the
originality as well for actually trying it: congratulations!

I need some time to think of possible explanations.
- Could you make a summary of additional comments, like a Q&A from the
foregoing discussions? Surely that would be helpful.
- Also, in case nobody asked: did you try instead of rotating the device,
just inverting the flow? And did you test how internal pressure changes at
the same flow rates affect the readings ?

Cheers,
Harald
