From where to you take the phrase “in order to describe the relative

reference inertial system, the Earth’s centre is known to be at rest
in it, without any mention at all to the Sun (or any other body in the

If you can’t describe the Sun’s movement in the ECI, maybe the simple

cause is that the ECI has not this possibility, contrary to what you
claim. But if you prefer to maintain the error, this is your problem.
I will try to help you. Hint: In any centre of mass inertial system,
you can’t describe the movement of a body not taken into account when
computing the centre of mass. A trivial example, in the 1913 N.Bohr
model for an hydrogen atom, you can only describe the movement of the
proton and the electron forming the H atom.

Make a GPS in the Moon, including of course GR contribution. Surely

Stop, you cretin. If the GPS transmitter is on the moon, and this is a
GPS for the Earth, you still need to use the frame of reference
attached to the Earth (ECI) if you want an easy descrption of the
phaenomenat. What a cretin!

What I had in mind when referring to a GPS in the Moon was some Moon

satellites near it to determine positions in its surface (or near it).
Why you skip my phrase “(or in Mars, Mercury, or in any other place of
our Universe)”? You pretend to use also de ECI for “an easy
description” in all those places? By the way, even for the case you
mention, the ECI can’t be used! You MUST use the centre of mass
inertial system corresponding to a body set that includes the Earth
and the Moon. And as you surely know, The Earth-Moon centre of mass,
even remaining always inside the Earth, is pretty far from the Earth’s
centre.
For any place in the whole Universe, you MUST compute always the
centre of mass inertial system corresponding to the bodies involved.
In this case, AND ONLY IN THIS CASE, the formulas of 1905 Relativity
will match the experimental measurements. Take this if you want as a
prediction, but not my one, it was known well before 1905 Relativity
that the centre of mass corresponding to any determined body set is
unique.

I don’t agreed. You can’t deduce in any way postulate 2 from postulate

1, owed to the definition about what time is it made in paragraph 1
and included in postulate 2 at the beginning of paragraph 2. That
definition is just the contrary of “superfluous”, it is “essential”.. I
know the argument behind your assertion (if vacuum light speed is c in
some frame, the ether, it can be considered a Nature law, and then the
same in all frames by postulate 1; hence postulate 2 is derived from
postulate 1). The flaw in that deduction is that the result is in
contradiction with the prevailing ideas in 1905 about what time is it.
Vacuum light speed in all the inertial frames different from the ether
has in 1905 values different from c (used in the design of the M&M
experiment). With the new definition about what time is it and
included in postulate 2, Einstein makes compatible postulate 2 with
postulate 1, very different to deriving 2 from 1.

Mathematics has nothing to do with respect, opinion or decision, and
everything to do with proof.
IF Einstein said
some function of x'/(c+v) is equal to that same function of x'/(c-v)
THEN
Einstein was an idiot who didn't understand mathematics.
ELSE ... (there is no else, he did say it).

Talking about actual experiments are irrelevant.
As far as you are concerned, you just want to argue and
your arguments get increasingly ridiculous as they go further
into mysticism and away from logic and mathematics.

Einstein's THIRD postulate, which you are too stupid to recognise
IS a postulate (and false) is:

QUOTE
the "time" required by light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it
requires
to travel from B to A.

Now what possible opinion could you have that can change that?

Surely in Romer's measurement the light only goes One Way making it
an OWLS measurement.

If you define OWLS measurements as light going only one way AND
traversing an unknown distance, then it's for sure an impossible task.

By the same token, I don't know how to measure the TWLS by reflecting
light off a mirror on the moon if I don't know how far away the moon
is.

I guess I could measure the time as, say, 3 seconds and say the moon
was 1.5 "light seconds" away and do the following calculation:


d = 3 light seconds = 3 x c x t

t = 3 seconds

v = d/t = 3ct/3t = c


But that doesn't really get me very far!


How do YOU measure the speed of light (or anything) travelling an
unkown distance?

Jenny

and dividing that into *a known distance*.

Quote:
To know some parameter is a very common
resource in any kind of measurements.

.... which carries a "payload" you are apparently not aware of, or
not willing to accept. A known distance is a "remote Einstein
synchronized clock", hence a TWLS measurement must result. So
you can only look for anisotropy.

Quote:
Resuming, possible or not an OWLS, this
is not for me a valid argument against
1905 Einstein’s Relativity theory.

Good, because this still is not at issue.

I don’t understand your short comment,

I get tired of being dragged away from the OPs "question", into
your interminable and single-minded discussion of a paper 103
years old.

Quote:
maybe owed to my deficient English. My
intention was to write “possible or not an
OWLS measurement”, and I have some
doubt about the meaning of the "at issue"
part. Please, clear it to me if you consider
necessary in a next post.

You cease to discuss the OPs question, and insist on discussing
something you feel to be related. I do not feel it to be
related, and the OP has stopped responding on this thread. I
have lost interest.

No. A known distance was used. Automatically
makes it TWLS measurement.

Surely in Romer's measurement the light only
goes One Way making it an OWLS measurement.

How did the distance get known? Two (and more for accuracy)
successive measurements, and clocks to determine velocity, and
angles to establish where in the trajectory. Jupiter becomes a
remote synchronized clock. The distance becomes a TWLS
established value.

A known distance carries a payload you either ignore by choice,
or are not aware of. Which is it for you?

The fact that the light from Jupiter's moons arrives to us on a
one way path, does not mean that we have not already laid the
problem out such that it can only return c for the speed of
light.

And understand, I am not arguing that light speed is not c over a
one way path. It is just that Nature is telling us that such
"mental masturbation" is a waste of time. We cannot know what it
"really" is over that path.
