If YOU have access to a laboratory do please try the following
experiment, Mr.Bodkin:

             A                   B
  light-----><--------L---------->         <--YOU v m/s
             tA                  tB

Speed of light in lab = Distance/Time = L/(tB-tA) = c m/s

Now walk towards B from the right at v m/s
Note that in your frame of reference the point B is moving,
and therefore the light travels an extra distance = v(tB-tA) m,
which is the distance traveled by B as the light travels from A to B

Speed of light relative to YOU = (L + v(tB-tA)) / (tB-tA) m/s
                                = (c + v) m/s


SO that experiment trumps Einstein's theoretical hypothesis that
the speed of light is constant for all observers eh!

According to A.

As is A, but go on...

You didn't account for the motion of A.

That is the CLOSING speed! The speed of light=c is true for the OBSERVER
of the light, not to a third person!
The actual speed of light (measured by A) didn't change.

>SO that experiment trumps Einstein's theoretical hypothesis that
>the speed of light is constant for all observers eh!

WHAT experiment? Have you actually done it? If not, you can't
say anything about a gedanken trumping anything. However, as I just said,
this gets a CLOSING speed (what "YOU" in your diagram sees), not the
actual speed of light (what A sees).

Samely as trees and buildings are running around him (for him,
not to a third person).

Ans similiarly, you know - if you're dumb the Sun
is rotating Earth (for you).

The point is that equivalent experiments of the same principle have already
been done AND corroborated. And it makes no sense to dismiss those results
because they disagree with a theoretical hypothesis. In such conflicts, the
documented experimental result always wins.

A lie, as expected from fanatic trash.
And a complete nonsense, as expected from a
poor idiot.

Every single determination of the one-way speed of light
is an experiment that proves that the one-way speed of light
can not possibly be
the same
IN ALL FRAMES OF REFERENCE !

Where are you at eh?

There is no way to measure the one way speed of light that is independent
of the method of synchronizing the clocks at each end. Einstein's
synchronization basically assumes/declares the one way speed is always the
same as the two way speed. "Slow clock transport" also assumes the same
thing.  Of course in those cases, the one way speed must be the same in
all frames of reference since the two way speed is the same in all frames
of reference. So your statement is false, or meaningless, depending on how
you look at it.

I don’t have any idea why you think a one way speed measurement result is
inconsistent with the speed of light being the same in all frames of
reference. 

Here is a simple experiment that has been done:
1. Identify a process that emits equal flashes of light in opposite
directions from a common trigger event. 
2. Perform a test where the time of flight of both light signals is
measured when the source is at rest. Verify that in each and every case,
the times of flight of the oppositely directed signals is equal. 
3. Now repeat the same measurement when the same source is traveling at a
significant speed, such that the flash is triggered when the source passes
the center of the detecting apparatus. See if the times of flight of the
two flashes are now different (your expectation) or still identical (the
expectation of relativity).  

Since you are looking at the same process from the same source from two
different reference frames, this is a clear test of the hypothesis. 

This experiment has already been done.

If YOU have access to a laboratory do please try the following
experiment, Mr.Bodkin:

             A                   B
  light-----><--------L---------->         <--YOU v m/s
             tA                  tB

Speed of light in lab = Distance/Time = L/(tB-tA) = c m/s

Now walk towards B from the right at v m/s
Note that in your frame of reference the point B is moving,
and therefore the light travels an extra distance = v(tB-tA) m,
which is the distance traveled by B as the light travels from A to B

Speed of light relative to YOU = (L + v(tB-tA)) / (tB-tA) m/s
                                = (c + v) m/s


SO that experiment trumps Einstein's theoretical hypothesis that
the speed of light is constant for all observers eh!

This is not a measurement. This is a hypothetical calculation that is based
on an assumption. This assumption is wrong. There are several ways to
describe this incorrect assumption. 

One way to describe it is that you are trying to transform the velocity of
the light signal from the lab frame to my frame and you are assuming that
the way to to that is u’ = u + v. This is incorrect. 

Another way to describe it is to say that the times tA and tB are the same
for me as they are in the lab. This is also incorrect. 

Your “experiment” draws incorrect conclusions from incorrect assumptions. 

A real experiment is like the one I described. The results of this real
experiment are confounding to you, I know. But real experimental results
trump theoretical hypotheses, every single time.

If this pathetic bullshit was true, the experiment
would trump it. But it is not, so idiots like
you continue to spread it, against obvious facts.

Let's do the experiment your way then Mr.Bodkin.
We put a light with a clock in the middle of a railway carriage,
and flash the light on at t = t0

We have photocells and clocks at the front and rear of the carriage
to measure when the light arrived at the front (t=t1 say) and at the
back (t=t2)

With the rail carriage stationary we turn on the light and
discover that indeed t1 = t2, as you say Mr.Bodkin

>>> 3. Now repeat the same measurement when the same source is traveling at a
>>> significant speed,

Right. I start the train moving and discover that once again t1 = t2,
and that this applies whatever the speed of the train, and whenever i
turn the light on, i.e. for all values of t0

>>> such that the flash is triggered when the source passes
>>> the center of the detecting apparatus. See if the times of flight of the

I can assure you that "My expectation" is that t1 = t2 whatever the 
speed of the train, Mr.Bodkin

>>> Since you are looking at the same process from the same source from two
>>> different reference frames,

BUT YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT IT FROM DIFFERENT REFERENCE FRAMES.
 From any frame of reference in which the train is moving,
the front of the railway carriage is moving away from the
point where the light was emitted, and the back of the train
is moving towards the point where the light was emitted.

So
the forward traveling light must travel a distance
                       = half the length of carriage + v(t1-t0)
and
the backward traveling light travels must travel a distance
                       = half the length of carriage - v(t2-t0)

So although t2 IS ALWAYS EQUAL TO t1 (as you say Bodkin),
the distances traveled by the forward and backward light
can only be equal in the frame of reference in which v=0
In any other frame the distance traveled by the forward light
is greater than the distance traveled by the backward light,
but the time for the journeys t1-t0, and t2-t0 are equal,
AND THUS THE SPEED OF THE FORWARD BEAM IS GREATER THAN THE
SPEED OF THE BACKWARD BEAM.

>>> this is a clear test of the hypothesis.

This is entirely within the expectation of my hypothesis,
Mr Bodkin.
  It's SR which claims the speed of light is constant eh!

tA is the time when the light beam passes A as recorded by a clock at A
tB is the time when the light beam passes B as recorded by a clock at B

Since we know exactly which clocks are being referred to (think of them
as digitally displayed times in seconds), they MUST BE THE SAME FOR ALL
OBSERVERS eh!

Conclusions depend on the concluding ones.
That's what physics-oriented minds will 
never comprehend.

No, Keith, let’s not do a mental experiment. Let’s refer to a REAL
experiment, one that has already been done.  Furthermore, let us not make
any conclusions based on hypothetical assumptions about what you or I
*think* is the reasonable thing to happen. Instead, we should look at the
actual experiment conducted and see what *actually* happened, no matter how
unreasonable you or I think that outcome would be.

The only way to determine the speed of light relative to me is for ME to
MEASURE that speed. 
You can calculate a CLOSING speed between me and the light in the frame of
the train, but then you are making the assumption that this closing speed
is the same as the speed of light that I would measure in my frame. That is
an incorrect assumption. Closing speed is not frame-independent. 

This kind of false assumptions being made is exactly why referring to an
*actual* experiment’s results and NOT a mental experiment is so important.

Clocks at rest in WHICH FRAME?

No, and this is exactly the point. Clocks at rest and synchronized at A and
B in one frame will NOT be synchronized in any other frame. So you are
ASSUMING that all that’s needed to record times is to specify the clock’s
location, and that should be sufficient for any observer. That is an
incorrect assumption. A pair of clocks in different locations must also be
synchronized, and synchronization is frame dependent. You can synchronize
those two clocks in your frame and they will continue to be synchronized in
your frame and they will provide the tA and tB that are appropriate for
your frame. 

However those two clocks are NOT synchronized in my frame, and so those
times tA and tB don’t work in my frame. I need a pair of clocks at A and B
that are synchronized in MY frame. These will provide two DIFFERENT times
tA’ and tB’ from the clocks that are synched in my frame. This is what I
meant when I was saying that the times tA and tB are not the same times for
me.

A lie, of course. You've never done such
measurement - you just know.

And according to modern physics language,
speed of light measurement procedure is:
- we obtain a time t light is travelling 
a distance
- we multiply it by c to obtain the distance
- and we divide the obtained distance by t
to obtain the speed.
No wonder you don't really need any 
measurements.

But we have no trouble agreeing the outcome of the experiment which
you started by assuring us that it "has been done", and initially
you where struck by the fact that t1 = t2 whatever the speed of the 
train, and when i point out that it is this very fact which proves
that the velocity of the forward light wave is greater than the speed
of the backward wave, and you come back with the opinion that the
fact that experimentally t1 = t2 is only relevant in the frame of
reference in which v=0, shows me you posting BULLSHIT, Mr.Bodkin.

If you take an honest look at the arguments,
i think you would come to my view, Mr.Bodkin,
but then again, maybe it is as Mr.Wozniak says,
The Conclusion is in the eye of the Concluder eh!

It is true that t1=t2 and t1’=t2’, but it is not true that t1=t1’ or that
t2=t2’. 
Your math put together to try to show that the speeds are different. But
you were viewing everything from ONE FRAME only and you were carrying time
data from one frame to the other. 

To see where the mistake is, we can take this step by step and not skip
anything that masks hidden assumptions. 

So let’s take a source that is moving with respect to two detectors on
either side. We can look at this from two reference frames, one where the
source is at rest and the detectors moving, and a different frame where the
detectors are at rest and the source is moving. Understood? Here is where
the importance of the frame dependence of clock synchronization will come
into play.

According to your idiot guru's own definition
of time - yes, it's true. Everyone can check
at GPS.

t1 is the time of arrival of light as recorded by a clock at front of 
carriage. This is unambiguous.  It must be the same in all frames of
reference since it is a real digital number on a unique clock situated
at the front of the carriage. The only clock which can measure the
time of arrival of the light to the front of the carriage is the one
and only clock which is at the front of the carriage.

similarly t2 is a time in seconds on one unique clock situated at the
rear of the carriage. It can not be other than the same in all frames
of reference. There is only one clock on which t2 is measured it MUST
be the same in ALL FRAMES OF REFERENCE, whatever the idiot guru says.

Reading the display in both frames does not tell you that this is the real
time of those events unless you can demonstrate that the clocks are
synchronized. If I have a clock on one end of the hall and its digital
display reads 13:45:37, and then I stroll down the hall (taking about half
a minute to do so) and the clock in the other side of the room also says
13:45:37, then I know I have a problem with these clocks because the
readings are the same but I took some time to get from one to the other.
The problem obviously is that these clocks are not synchronized, and the
readings in the clocks are meaningless until I can perform some procedure
to synchronize them and on demand check that they are still synchronized. 

So do you see that the readings on a digital display clock mean nothing
until the clocks are synchronized?
