We show that the one-way speed of light, along an open contour AB on the uniformly rotating Earth, is observable. Our approach exploits the property of the Sagnac effect that can measure the Earth's local angular velocity and, correspondingly, the peripheral speed of the contour AB relative to Earth Centered Inertial (ECI) frame. Light speed variations, measured on the rotating Earth, may be related to the velocity w of the ECI frame relative to a hypothetical preferred frame. Since it is possible to test Einstein's postulate of a universal light speed, standard special relativity is confirmed to be a viable falsifiable theory. |
