| Nov 18, 2021 at 20:23 | comment | added | ttonon | Why do you assert that c_x and c_y are different from c, which is the same in any direction? If you do this experiment in a vacuum, isn't there only one c? | |
| Nov 2, 2021 at 23:25 | comment | added | Shaggi | Thank you, I can see it's essentially the same for a moving shutter, and that relativistic contraction plays a role in deriving a value for c, defeating the purpose (because it is circular as you say). I guess the relativistic geometry for something spinning is really weird as it would contract more the further out the disc you go. | |
