Cincirob: There is no fabulous synchrotron experiment and if there were it wouldn't produce light going faster than c.
AAF: Oh, there is one; and it drove you 'nuts' last year! There is no other way around it. If the travel time of the synchrotron light from earth to the moon and back to earth again is about the half of the travel time of the laser light from earth to the moon and back to earth again, then even Stephen Hawking will concede that Special Relativity is dead and fatally falsified by experiment for good.
Ted: Ted: Show your calculations.
AAF: Ted, Ted, Ted ... ... ... It's so easy, man; Even Mike can do it! Here it is: Let the average distance between earth & the moon be d. The speed of the laser light is c. Upon assuming (c + v) hold good, synchrotron light emitted by electrons moving at average speed close to the speed of light, should be close to 2c Therefore, the laser light travel time: tl = 2d / c And the Synchrotron light travel time: ts = 2d / 2c = d / c And hence, tl = 2ts And that is it.
Ted: Pretentious Imbecile, the above doesn't "hold good". Light speed doesn't add up with the speed of the source, it is always c. You can assume that your mother was a camel, your intellect is proof (:
Curt: Ted Iggy assumes light always travels @ c. He cannot imagine anything else. Some day, his cockroach mind will be smashed by a camel. He cannot fathom that, in "General Relativity," c is variable. He cannot even spell intellect. Teddy boy: Stop with the ad hominem remarks. You are not the genius that your cockroach mother thinks you are.
AAF: Actually, Curt, it is not much of an attack and I like it! Pay attention, Ted (you, son of a 'moose'); a camel cannot be a 'mom', only a 'dad'; a she-camel? Maybe; a camel? Not a chance! Anyway, the animal named 'camel' is a symbol of giganticness and strength in that part of the world. And that means you really think I have strong teeth and can bite your ears off: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/tyson1.html As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of the synchrotron experiment is to find out whether or not Einstein's Postulate of Constancy is true. It follows, therefore, that the opposite of that postulate must be assumed to hold good in any experiment designed for testing the validity of that postulate.
Curt: AAF, My laptop responded to a curse or spell cast by probably Ted Iggy or Stanley. The touch pad and all the USB ports are not recognized. So, I have to learn how to navigate via keyboard. This joker at your link has no clue. A real mainstreamer non thinker. I came across this site a long time ago. He has yet to respond to my e-mails.
AAF: I don't think hackers would do that to your laptop. They are people of high principles and interested only in passwords and data files! The above problem is most likely caused by corrupted mouse and pointing stick drivers. And to solve it, you should visit the website of your laptop manufacturer and download and install the relevant drivers. Good luck ...
AAF: As mentioned earlier, the main purpose of the synchrotron experiment is to find out whether or not Einstein's Postulate of Constancy is true.
Ted: plenty of experimens confirm the postulate of constancy. Same experiments falsify your idiotic hypothesis. Take some physics class, imbecile.

It's Irving Langmuir who studied this type of bogus experiments and concluded the following:
Symptoms of Pathological Science:
1. The maximum effect that is observed is produced by a causative agent of barely detectable intensity, and the magnitude of the effect is substantially independent of the intensity of the cause.
2. The effect is of a magnitude that remains close to the limit of detectability; or, many measurements are necessary because of the very low statistical significance of the results.
3. Claims of great accuracy.
4. Fantastic theories contrary to experience.
5. Criticisms are met by ad hoc excuses thought up on the spur of the moment.
6. Ratio of supporters to critics rises up to somewhere near 50% and then falls gradually to oblivion. http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~ken/Langmuir/langmuir.htm

Cincirob: I see you've bought into AAF's pipe dream. Here are a few experiments that should discourage this line of reasoning but probably won't: Experiments Using Terrestrial Sources Alvaeger F.J.M. Farley, J. Kjellman and I Wallin, Physics Letters 12, 260 (1964). Arkiv foer Fysik, Vol 31, pg 145 (1965). Measured the speed of gamma rays from the decay of fast Î0 (~0.99975 c) to be c with a resolution of 400 parts per million. Optical extinction is not a problem for such high-energy gamma rays. The speed of the Ã0 is not measured, but is assumed to be similar to that measured for Î+ and Î . Sadeh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 10 no. 7 (1963), pg 271. Measured the speed of the gammas emitted from e+e annihilation (with center-of-mass v/c ~0.5) to be c within 10%. This experiment was criticized in Lo Savio, Phys. Lett. A, 1988, Vol 133, pg 176. It is certainly true that at the instant of annihilation the e+ need not be traveling in the same direction it had initially, or have the same speed (most annihilations occur at very low energy as the positrons stop). This experiment is inconclusive at best. Babcock and Bergmann, Journal Opt. Soc. Amer. Vol. 54, pg 147 (1964). This repeat of Kantor's experiment in vacuum shows no significant variation in the speed of light affected by moving glass plates. Optical Extinction is not a problem. k < 0.02. > Filipas and Fox, Phys. Rev. 135 no. 4B (1964), pg B1071. Measured the speed of gamma rays from the decay of fast Î0 (~0.2 c) in an experiment specifically designed to avoid extinction effects. Their results are in complete disagreement with the assumption c+v, and are consistent with SR. k < 0.5 with a confidence level of 99.9%. > Beckmann and Mandics, gTest of the Constancy of the Velocity of Electromagnetic Radiation in High Vacuumh, Radio Science, 69D, no. 4, pg 623 (1965). A direct experiment with coherent light reflected from a moving mirror was performed in vacuum better than 106 torr. Its result is consistent with the constant velocity of light. This experiment is notable because Beckmann was a perennial critic of SR. Optical Extinction is not a problem. Operation of FLASH, a free-electron laser, http://vuv-fel.desy.de/ . A free-electron laser generates highly collimated X-rays parallel to the relativistic electron beam that is their source. If the region that generates the X-rays is L meters long, and the speed of light emitted from the moving electrons is c+kv (here v is essentially c), then at the downstream end of that region the minimum pulse width is k(L/c)/(1+k), because light emitted at the beginning arrives before light emitted at the downstream end. For FLASH, L=30 meters, v=0.9999997 c (700 MeV), and the observed X-ray pulse width is as short as 25 fs. This puts an upper limit on k of 2.5~107. Optical extinction is not present, as the entire process occurs in very high vacuum. http://www.edu-observatory.org/physics-faq/Relativity/SR/experiments.html#terrestrial
AAF: I see you've done a 'heck' of a job in searching for those 'humbug' claims made by the supporters of Relativity over the years! Jargon aside, however, those bogus experiments, more often than not, are based upon hypothetical entities whose very existence is unproven and in doubt. In other words, the hypothetical chaining involved in those phony experiments must degrade and reduce their evidential value to zero or something very close to zero. In addition, the effects and the experimental results based upon them are so small and so entangled and masked by many other effects, so much so that highly complicated and convoluted methods of data extraction and data reduction are needed and employed arbitrarily and ad hoc to give just any outcome the tricky experimenters are looking for. In short, those experiments of Relativity are bogus and useless and with no evidential value whatsoever to prove or disprove anything.

Ted: AAF, you imbecile, you are describing the Ives-Stilwell experiment (electrons emitting light that is reflected by mirrors at the end of the light path). It is just that you are too stoooopid to know it, MORON. The scientists have already done this test, it confirms SR to a very high precision. It infirms your moronic misconception that the speed of light , c adds up with the speed of the emitter, v to form c+v. Just that an autistic imbecile like AAF doesn't know that is only ...AAF's fault You were born stupid, you will die stupid. Your imbecility is not curable, moron.
AAF: The synchrotron experiment is very original and having nothing do with the phony IS experiment, Imbecile Ted! Well, not most of it. You see; NASA has done exactly the same experiment using laser light. To make life a bit more difficult for the folks of Relativity, I've concluded that the repetition of the NASA experiment using synchrotron light would certainly test Einstein's Postulate of Constancy very decisively and put the Relativists between a rock and hard place and potentially out of business for good. That is to say Veni Vidi Vici: http://www.unrv.com/fall-republic/veni-vidi-vici.php
Ted: AAF, you MORON, laser is MONOCHROMATIC (i.e. single frequency).So, it isn't "white light", imbecile. You don't have to prove that you are an ignorant idiot with every post, you have convinced everybody. Take a break, MORON.

Hi, Ted ::::
It's me again!
The following articles are about the NASA Laser experiment that inspires the earth-shaking synchrotron experiment for putting the theory of Relativity to the ultimate experimental test:
AAF, as is usual, Cincirob has twisted my words to suit his own purpose, what I said about Einstein was, "Albert Einstein was neither an idiot, a savant nor an idiot savant, he was an obsessive, under achieving slackard. Leo Szilard, for example, was a true genius, Einstein was a pseudo-genius" I never said Einstein was stupid. Cinci responded with, "cinci: Einstein's 1905 papers were works of genius, human genius. That's what Einstein was. His IQ was around 160." I doubt that Einstein was ever tester for an IQ let alone having one of 160". The IQ test was not developed until 1904 and it was originally for children, Einstein was about 27 at that time. My question is; do you know if Einstein was ever "really" tested for his IQ? I am asking you because I dont believe anything Cinci says.
Also, did you know that ExLax was developed in 1905 because an Hungarian chemist saw the advent of the Relativist and knew a fix was to be needed.

Bob;
The main method for the IQ estimate, in the case of Einstein and others, is based mainly upon achievements. And so, if the the value of the achievements goes up, the IQ scores go up; and if it goes down, the IQ scores go down with it. The following is Cox' method for estimating the IQ scores of historical geniuses:
In 1926, psychologist Dr. Catherine Morris Cox - who had been assisted by Dr. Lewis M. Terman, Dr. Florence L. Goodenaugh, and Dr. Kate Gordon - published a study of the most eminent men and women who had lived between 1450 and 1850 to estimate what their IQs might have been. Data from that study as well as other sources around the net were compiled to form the following list. Please drop me a comment if you have additions or corrections (make sure and cite sources).

"Bob;

And so, if the the value of the achievements goes up, the IQ scores go up; and if it goes down, the IQ scores go down with it. The following is Cox' method for estimating the IQ scores of historical geniuses:"
That is quite a formidable list AAF, but I take it that none of those people actually took an IQ test so it seems more like a comparison of accomplishments, which is OK, but were their failures factored in?
John P. offers an IQ test to see how one may compare to those on the list but the test is only 40 min. long while those on the list had a life time. Einstein was (assigned) an IQ of 160 over his life time I would have to (earn) an IQ based on a 40 min. test. It seems to me that it would diminish my IQ if I agreed to take the test under those conditions.

Curt says: Iggy Liggety demonstrates his juvenile lack of intelligence, knowledge, and logic with his every post. He is a cesspool of ad hominem verbiage.
The obvious way to test the speed of any object is to gauge the duration of time the object takes to pass over a known distance. Since light is not necessarily an object, complications arise. In AAF's experiment, the scintillated light, when bounced off the mirror on the moon, may then acquire the speed of the mirror on the moon, his experiment may be flawed.
To really test the speed of light from a high speed emitter, the short, intense pulse from it must be clocked directly as it passes between the two points having the known distance. This has never been done.

Read it and weep. It's the end of the antirelativist whimper "Oh but we've never really measured the one-way speed of light....boo hoo hoo"
"A test of special relativity has been carried out using data of clock comparisons between hydrogen maser clocks on the ground and cesium and rubidium clocks on board 25 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. The clocks were compared via carrier phase measurements of the GPS signal using geodetic receivers at a number of stations of the International GPS Service for Geodynamics (IGS) spread worldwide. In special relativity, synchronization of distant clocks by slow clock transport and by Einstein synchrony (using the transmission of light signals) is equivalent in any inertial frame. A violation of this equivalence can be modeled using the parameter Âc/c, where c is the round-trip speed of light (c=299 792 458 m/s in vacuum) and Âc is the deviation from c of the observed velocity of a light signal traveling one way along a particular spatial direction with the measuring clocks synchronized using slow clock transport. In special relativity Âc/c=0. Experiments can set a limit on the value of Âc/c along a particular spatial direction (henceforth referred to as gdirection of Âch). Within this model our experiment is sensitive to a possible violation of special relativity in any direction of Âc, and on a nonlaboratory scale (baselines >~20 000 km). The results presented here set an upper limit on the value of Âc/c<5~10-9 when considering all spatial directions of Âc and Âc/c<2~10-9 for the component in the equatorial plane."
