Re: "Relativity and Reasonableness Tests"

yes, those clocks will be synched as in e-synched. They will not be
absolute synched.

What absolute?

As in the preferred frame. We were (I was...) talking about owls as in
LET, not as in SR.

And What does it matter .. we are trying to measure the OWL in the iFoR of
the lab.

You've still not explained why. If the clocks are in sync in the iFoR of
the experiment, then the can be used to measure the speed of light in the
iFoR.

Correct. The "speed" as in the modern definition of speed (SR). Not
the "speed" as in the LET sense.

There are two concepts of owls emerging here. The LET meaning and the
SR meaning.


BTW: Why do we need to be measuring the OWLS .. if it is found to NOT be the
same regardless of direction, then what will that do.. what theories would
that refute?

SR... ?

And BTW, what did you mean by "... there are no true owls..." in an
earlier post?
