How do you synchronize the clocks and compute the measurement, without depending on the conclusion?
You run into a similar problem with Michelson-Morley: because the apparatus and the light both get distorted by any motion, you can’t even in principle detect the aether wind with interferometry. You need a non-comoving dynamic source, eg, LIGO with black hole collisions.
Their one-way experiments seem to require similar, ie, we can observe dynamics but cannot measure a static bias.
- irjustin 15d agoAh missed this - 2 days later, sorry. I'm over my head with your statement, but my guess is - Yes that's the point. Either you do 2 way or you accept 1 way clock-sync collusions. My argument is it's not "We don't know speed of light in 1 direction". Also, there's another common youtube video that says "we've never measured teh speed of light!". Those statements are just for click bait, shock value. It's not rooted in the science.
