one way light speed



I have been told a few times that all measurements of light speed are
two way and I can't think of an experiment setup which can show a
different result if one way speed differed in two directions. So, if
one way speed can never be measured, doesn't this mean it has no effect
on laws of nature and in a sense it doesn't exist like aether? Suppose
I'm saying that speed of light is infinite in this direction and c/2 in
the opposite direction, what can disprove this claim? If this can be
disproved, one way speed of light can be measured. But it would also
mean there is no speed limit in one direction and c/2 speed limit in
opposite direction, and energy required to change direction of speed of
a particle would be different in two directions. This is not so in
particle accelerators so isn't this indirect proof that one way speed
has to be the same in all directions?
