Roemer did not measure the velocity of light in his 1975 paper.

You are stupid.
Romer measured the light speed,
in other case he could provide the Io motion he provided.

That's because he was long dead by then.  He did, however, measure the
speed (not velocity) of light in 1675.

Huygens measures the velocity of light using a pendulum clock and Io's period as timing devices employed to measure the time the earth propagates from K to L (Fig. 3) which represents the earth's orbital diameter but Huygens' 22 minutes time delay is less than the time measurement uncertainty of a pendulum clock (60 minutes) for a time interval of six mouths. Fizeau (1849) uses a high rpm rotating cogwheel to form a series of light pulses to generated an intensity that is used to measure the velocity of light since a single light pulse cannot form a measurable intensity after propagating a distance of 8 km. To measure the velocity of light requires the time a single pulse propagates a specific distance. Michelson-Morley interferometer is used to measure the velocity of light by determining the wavelength that is used in the wave equation (λf = c) but the ether that forms a wave, of the wave equation, does not exist (vacuum). Furthermore, a Kerr shutter is used to determine the velocity of light but Kerr's nanosecond shutter speed cannot form a measurable intensity after a single light pulse propagates a distance of 8 km.

You are smart!
Roemer used a circular orbit of
the earth and Jupiter.


"in other case he could provide the Io motion he provided."


Are you on quaalude! Or you have cerebral palsy!


Welcome Stephen. Long time no see or hear more-like read???

"History shows us examples of scientists who were able to make a great leap forward specifically because they were not limited by the data. One of the most dramatic examples occurs at the beginning of the nineteenth century, when we may find a scientist willing to ignore the limitations of numerical facts for the sake of correct idea or theory, even to the extent of saying that certain numbers probably should be made a little bit bigger, others a little smaller, and so on. It was precisely in this way that Dalton proceeded in developing his atomic theory. Some scientists do not like examples of this sort, because they imply a special virtue "fudging" the evidence or "cooking" the data, and they warn us that we must not ever tell our science students that discoveries have been made in this way." (Suppe, p. 300).

It is not physically possible to measure the velocity of light. You are ignoring the facts that contradict your outdated theories.

"The necessity of the new equation of delayed light was established by all the observations obtained at the Royal Academy and the Observatory during the past 8 years. This was verified later, by the appearance of the first satellite from the shadow of Jupiter, observed in the evening 5h35m45s on November 9 of this year, in Paris, that occurred 10 minutes later than it was expected on the basis of the observations produced in August, when the Earth was much closer to Jupiter; this was predicted by monsieur Rømer, at the Academy in the beginning of September ."

Einstein's special relativity is based on the velocity of light but no one has every measured the velocity of light; therefore, the velocity of light is infinite.

Completely false assertion by an ignoramus.

And an illogical ignoramus at that, even if his moronic assertion were true,
which it definitely is not.

The Apollo lander cannot be viewed using the Hubble telescope; consequently, a laser beam, that originates from the earth and reflected by the lunar reflector that has a surface area of approximately one square meter cannot form a measurable intensity since using the Hubble space telescope would require a illuminated object, at the surface of the moon, that has a diameter of 200 meters! The MIT lunar laser ranging experiment is the closest physicists have come to measuring the velocity of light but the result is no different from Newton's lanterns.

No, it would look like a featureless point of light, just like all the
stars of the night sky.  If perfectly focused, all the light would strike 
just one pixel of the CCD array.

Do you have any bit of energy that would allow you to do a study of the
measurements of the speed of light that have been performed, or are you
just a fat slob that lays around and dreams up lies?

 Gary Harnagel your problem may be that you do not believe the God and Jesus. If you let Jesus into your heart maybe you could see the light and spread wisdom and truth to the Universe of life, liberty and the love of happiness.
