Irrelevant to discussion about vacuum.  The vacuum of interstellar space
is close enough for most purposes and certainly for the speed of light.

Complete and utter monomania which has NOTHING to do with real vacuum.

It makes no sense to consider the interstellar vacuum as a medium.
This has been cogently explained but here you are babbling the same
old asinine baloney.  Interstellar (and even interplanetary) vacuum
does NOT a frame of reference for light make.  Experimental evidence
refutes your nonsensical assertion.

That's because you are a stupid, ignorant, demented crackpot.

I missed, or forgot about, that comment earlier.

The vacuum is interplanetary space is pretty thin. Certainly what 
remains in it is not dense enough to be described as having any 
particular velocity. Interactions between the particles therein are very 
infrequent.

So, Keith, how is your theory going to determine the velocity of light 
within that level of vacuum?

Good question, Sylvia. As a first approximation it must circulate
around the Sun, in the same direction and speed as the planets.
Additionally there will be an outward radial velocity from the Sun,
caused by the Solar wind. If you look up intergalactic medium on
Google you will see, what i take to be computer simulations, of the
the interplanetary medium, showing it spiraling out from the Sun, and
so i suggest we go with those computer simulations for a start eh!

The solar wind doesn't circulate.

But in any case, you're evading the question. The issue relates to 
vacuums with very few particles per unit volume, and in which the 
particles are moving in different directions at different speeds. In 
interstellar space, and away from nebulae, such particles as there are 
are likely to have been emitted from stars at all kinds of speeds and 
directions. There's not going to be any way to meaningfully attach a 
specific speed to a volume of space. So how is your theory going to 
determine the speed of light?

Sylvia.

If you look at a sufficiently large volume the MACROSCOPIC APPROXIMATION
WILL STILL APPLY irrespective how low the density of the medium. The 
frame of reference in which the medium is stationary is the frame of
reference in which that finite density has zero momentum.

Need to know the velocity of the medium,
and the velocity of light in the medium, Sylvia,

Velocity of that light in your frame of reference
is just the vector addition of those two velocities.

If you don't know one then i can't do the sum eh! Sylvia.

This refuted by communications with spacecraft:  The speed of light is
NOT affected by the solar wind.

We know it: it's about 500 km/second.

Nope.  That assertion is refuted by experimental evidence.

No, it is an APPROXIMATION. Like all APPROXIMATIONS, it doesn't work
everywhere. In the case of light with wavelengths smaller than the
interparticle distance, the light is traveling through a VACUUM most of
the time.

500 km/sec for the solar wind, straight away from the sun.

WRONG. Known to be false since Fizeau, way back in 1851.
Verified many, many times since then, part of how things like laser
gyroscopes work.

What about it?

Are you referring to the shape of the magnetic field and the
heliospheric current it induces in it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliospheric_current_sheet

That's not the flow of the solar wind itself, but of magnetic
and electric effects from the sun's rotating magnetic field
on it.

The Solar wind speed is some 500 km/sec, away from the sun.
If light traveled at c+v away from the sun and c-v toward it,
it would be _easily_ detected. 500 km/sec is over 0.15% the
speed of light.

For a given volume of space, one can always find a frame in which the 
content has net zero momentum. But for a different, but overlapping 
volume, the frame will not necessarily be the same.

Your response would presumably be that that is just evidence that an 
insufficiently large volume has been considered.  Yet it appears to me 
that no matter how large a volume you choose, one can always find a 
larger volume that totally encloses if for which the net momentum is 
different, and this is going to apply even on intergalactic scales.

Despite that, for vacuum MM style experiments on Earth, you claim that 
the speed of light is determined by a small volume (by comparison).

So, what is the rule that unambiguously determines the speed of light in 
your model?

True, and providing the number of atoms contained in the volume
is sufficiently large that the momentum of any single atom does
not SIGNIFICANTLY effect the momentum in the volume, then that
will be the frame of reference with which light travels through
that (little) volume with its characteristic velocity Sylvia.

> But for a different, but overlapping

This is also true Sylvia, and this would be because
the average velocity through the small volume does
not necessarily equal the average velocity through
the large volume eh!

Imagine sound waves passing through a turbulent flow of air Sylvia.
The instantaneous velocity of that sound at any one point, relative
to you is in fact continuously changing, but for most purposes we
don't need to consider this, and it is not difficult to obtain the
average velocity of sound though a turbulent air flow.
That is entirely analogous to how it is with light waves too eh!

For vacuum MM style experiments there is no problem Sylvia.
The frame of reference in which the medium is stationary,
is simple the frame of reference in which the vacuum chamber
is stationary.

> So, what is the rule that unambiguously determines the speed of light in

In my (Maxwell's) model, you need to determine the frame
of reference in which the macroscopic medium is stationary,
and if you can't do that then you can't determine the speed
of light relative to you. Similar to sound waves eh!

At some point in space, light is travelling at some speed. So which 
volume does the Universe use for its average - the small one, or the 
large one?

We may not usually care about the effects of turbulent flow on sound 
waves, but we can certainly detect it we want to.

It's far from clear that that is true. More likely the net momentum of 
the medium will change each time a particle bounces off the walls of the 
chamber, causing the same change, in reverse to the chamber itself. The 
consequences of that would surely have been noticed.

And why doesn't that apply to water.

Nothing stops one from measuring the speed of light relative to oneself. 
The problem for you is explaining why the measurement doesn't produce 
varying results depending on whether it relates to light passing through 
a vacuum chamber on Earth, or passing through interplanetary space.

You make difficulties where there are none Sylvia.
As i told you before light waves are totally analogous to how
sound behaves. When light travels through the small volume its
velocity is determined by the velocity of matter in that small
volume, and when light passes through the large volume the speed
of light is determined by the velocity of all the little volumes
which the light travels through. Just like sound eh!

It can also be detected with light waves too Sylvia. Look at how
light waves distort as they travel close to a how surface, like
just above a road surface on a hot sunny day eh!

At the macroscopic scale, which is the scale i deal with, "atomic"
effects are not noticeable, by definition eh!

It certainly does apply to water Sylvia. Do the MM experiment under 
water and you will still get no fringe shift eh!

The light travels with a velocity (very nearly) equal to c,
which is RELATIVE TO THE MATTER which the light is locally
passing through, for both cases eh!

Cherry-picking quotes leads to misunderstanding.

"Misunderstanding" a rebuttal, Keith?  The Fizeau-type experiments with
MOVING water refute your assertion because the speed is NOT c +/- v,
where v is the velocity of the water.  The value is closest to
c + v*(1 - 1/n²).  This experiment has been repeated many times with
increasing accuracy using methods that overcome ALL of the bogus objections
you have raised.

Both "c + v" AND "c + v*(1 - 1/n²)" satisfy your claim.  Your problem is
that you prefer the one refuted by experiment and eschew the one confirmed
by experiment.

Whatever happens in Fizeau's laboratory,
it can be described in terms of Galilean coordinates,
and if i look at Fizeau's experiment from some other
Galilean frame of reference then the time at which
anything happened in Fizeau's laboratory is exactly
the same in both Galilean frames of reference,and
nothing Fizeau discovered changes that fact eh!

A direct consequence of that is that an observer travelling alongside 
moving water would get a different value for the speed of light in water 
from an observer doing the experiment with stationary water. Any 
evidence for that effect?
