?
Is there any reason to suppose that the numerous published experiments
measuring the speed of light in a frame not containing the light source
have some systematic error?
Sorry, Brian, I don't know them - I am not a physicist. Could you describe
some simple one? I was only able to imagine a paradigm-experiment: The
lightning flash reaches the back end of the train, stops a clock there, part
of the light passes through a hole and goes to the front end where it stops
another clock. The clocks were initially synchronized. For the moment I am
not able to imagine an experiment essentially different from this paradigm.
