Yes it was. >The second postulate was that the speed of light is >independent of the speed of the SOURCE, which is TRUE, Yes, it is independent of the speed of its source for ALL observers, so it cannot be c relative to its source! That is a HUGE contradiction! Anyway, Einstein wrote (translated): "Any ray of light moves in the "stationary" system of co-ordinates with the determined velocity c, whether the ray be emitted by a stationary or by a moving body." Meaning it moves at c relative to the observer as well! He uses the "stationary" frame as the frame of the observer. In the same paper he also mentions that "light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body." >Secondly no one ever has, or ever will, measure the >speed of light "in a vacuum", because there isn't >any vacuum eh! Except between atoms for X-rays. Regardless, the speed of light has ALWAYS been measured as c in a good lab vacuum, because the difference between the speed of light in a lab vacuum and a theoretical perfect vacuum is so small it is much smaller than the measurement error of the measuring equipment. Remember from an earlier post, that a photon traveling through interplanetary space and a theoretically perfect vacuum through a distance from the earth to the sun, the vacuum photon would be only an atom's diameter ahead of the one in the non-perfect vacuum? How could you measure the difference in those speeds? You don't! You know the non-perfect interplanetary "vacuum" is plenty good enough! It's like saying you can never get the length of a circumference of a circle with a known diameter, because we can't multiply by pi, because since pi is irrational we can never get all its digits! >>> and the only reason >>> Einstein came to conclusion that it did was because he ignored the medium. >> >> No, he said 'in a vacuum', meaning there was NO medium. >So Special Relativity applies NOWHERE, Except between atoms in a hard vacuum. > because in reality >there is medium (matter of finite density) EVERYWHERE. And again, the difference between a good hard vacuum and a theoretically perfect vacuum is so small it is irrelevant! Here, I need the circumference of this 2" diameter pipe. Please supply me with the exact value of pi so I can do so. >>> The first Michelson Morley experiment was carried out in air, >>> Maxwell's primary example of a medium for light.
