This is plain and simply not true. The constancy of the speed of light
in SR applies ONLY to inertial frames. The rotating Sagnac apparatus is
manifestly not inertial. Indeed, applying an SR analysis in the inertial
frame of its center one obtains values that agree with experimental
observations.

Exercise for the reader: show QUANTITATIVELY that for a Sagnac
apparatus on the surface of the earth the effects of gravitation
and earth's rotation and revolution are all negligible.

Valev continually and repeatedly tries to discuss things he does not
understand, and makes numerous errors therein. And his stupid writing
style underscores his lack of knowledge. He needs to grow up and STUDY,
rather than wasting time posting nonsense to the net.

I do not have time right now Roberts Roberts but tomorrow I am going
to compare my stupidity and your stupidity:

Tom Roberts in sci.physics.relativity: "The speed of the light is also
independent of source velocity, both in SR and GR, and experimentally.
The frequency and wavelength of the emitted light, however, are not
independent of source velocity, and depend upon the relative velocity
of the source and observer, including the direction of this velocity 3-
vector wrt the beam of light. The SR Doppler formula describes this
quite well (i.e. agrees with experimental measurements)." Tom Roberts
