Historically there is a body of OWLS experiments, Henri.
http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physic...periments.html

3.2 One-Way Tests of Light-Speed Isotropy
Note that while these experiments clearly use a one-way light path
and find isotropy, they are inherently unable to rule out a large
class of theories in which the one-way speed of light is
anisotropic.These theories share the property that the round-trip
speed of light is isotropic in any inertial frame, but the one-way
speed is isotropic only in an ether frame. In all of these theories
the effects of slow clock transport exactly offset the effects of the
anisotropic one-way speed of light (in any inertial frame), and all
are experimentally indistinguishable from SR. All of these theories
predict null results for these experiments. See Test Theories above,
especially Zhang (in which these theories are called "Edwards
frames").

Cialdea, Lett. Nuovo Cimento 4 (1972), p821.
Uses two multi-mode lasers mounted on a rotating table to look for
variations in their interference pattern as the table is rotated.
Places an upper limit on any one-way anisotropy of 0.9 m/s.

Krisher et al., Phys. Rev. D, 42, No. 2, pp. 731-734, (1990).
Uses two hydrogen masers fixed to the earth and separated by a 21 km
fiber-optic link to look for variations in the phase between them.
They put an upper limit on the one-way linear anisotropy of 100 m/s.

Champeny et al, Phys. Lett. 7 (1963), p241.

Champeney, Isaak and Khan, Proc. Physical Soc. 85, p583 (1965).

Isaak et al, Phys. Bull. 21 (1970), p255.
Uses a rotating Moessbauer absorber and fixed detector to place an
upper limit on any one-way anisotropy of 3 m/s. [one part in 10^8]


All performed BY relativists FOR relativists....
None is believable...

Ah ha, Henri, choosing what you will believe in ignorance of evidence!


I'm frankly not sure what Henri's problem is here, but
presumably the experiments are well-enough specified so
that anyone can perform them, and confirm or refute the
evidence filed in peer-reviewed journals.

So long as the data is accurately tallied, it makes little
difference whether the experiment is done by a relativist,
a skeptic, a madman, or a little green guy with a special
suit who can float in the air. ;-)

Ghost, relativists are not the only group that recognizes only that which
supports its belief system and rejects that which refutes it.
There are about 4000 fanatical religious sects around the world that do exactly
the same..

Ok, Easy answer.
Ask Cassini the time.


: Include experimental method and expected results.

Send signal to Cassini, request time stamp of return signal.
Expected result according to relativity,
time stamp = (time received - time of request)/2 + time of request.

Test complete, relativity fails. Done.

You are correct, your question was dumb.
