I agree, so let's see if you can you pass the course before you grade Winn.
Which experiment was it that established Einstein's third postulate,
the "time" required by light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it
requires to travel from B to A' ?

You have a stray prime mark on that second A.

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A by the
definition of distance. The constancy of the speed of light
implies the time to travel from A to B equals the time to travel
from B to A, so it's not a third postulate.

Hope that clears it up for you, but don't expect me to be all
that interested when you don't get it this time either.

Treating Androcles as a person and talking to 'it' always backfires.
