In MMX how do you form the interference fringes that is used to determine the velocity of light without an ether?

So, you believe that emission starts when you push a bottom?

And are you assuming that emission duration is equal to absorption duration?

No, but in the revised experiment (with two detectors), such assumptions are not needed.

Are you detecting the beginning or the end of the light pulse? And how long is the light pulse that is used to measure the velocity of light.

Whichever triggers the device. The length of the detection pulse is irrelevant, since the two detectors will experience the exact same amount of delay in detecting the pulse.

Do you have a name for this experiment. Is it a derivative of the Newton lantern experiment?

No name, just something simple and logical I thought up quickly.

A media "wave" train is different from an EM "wave" train.

A media train has successive, alternating box cars.  A positive car, then a negative car.

An EM train has a positive car, then an empty flat car of the same length as box car.  Then we get the negative box car, followed by a another flat car.

It's the only thing Einstein got right.  It's truly digital.  From nature.

An absorption reactance bounce, occurs at the receiver, during the flat car. (the flat car is dead time, a blank/space in the EM train).  Giving a sine at feedpoint.  Half of that sine, is antenna reactance.  It's a mirror.  Only half the sine is needed for all information.

It's one direction induction at a time, which is alternated after dead time.  Any Faraday induction has two box cars, even if you throw the magnet thru loop.  But EM, has one box car at a time.  And knowing this, can allow you to only send one box car, if so inclined.

How does the mechanics of emission......send out 1/2 wavelength, then stop for 1/2 wavelength, then send out anther half wavelength?  What is happening on the antenna?

This has nothing to do with any other experiment ever done.

A pulse of light, has billions of photons, we want to measure just one.  We need to time one photon.  From start to finish.

Pardon me, Kryptid, I didn't see your post, trying to get use to the notification procedure here.

And I don't want to steal this man's thread.

"It is questionable if the velocity of light can be measured."
It is indeed questionable; you have questioned it.

The answer to the question is "Yes, it can".

Back in the stone age, cameras had shutters that allowed a single pulse of light to enter. Cine projectors had rotating shutters that produced a stream of pulses of light. Far too simple for a scrambled egghead to understand, but those with connected neurones will appreciate that simple mechanical experiments involve either measuring the angular deflection of a beam from a rotating mirror or the maximum intensity of a light beam reflected through a chopper and have nothing to do with drift velocities or other complicated stuff that grownups deal with.

https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110404051609AAAjKN8 refers to a TV comedy that may be a bit too highbrow for the sort of morons who think it is all a conspiracy, but is well worth watching anyway.

Hi I am a cheerleader a X high school and need to improve my intellectual acumen so that I can become head cheerleader. So please tell me me if this is true and how I can respond to the egg heads so I can be popular.
No you’re not. You are someone who was banned for trolling here and is trying to get back under a different identity.
Grow up.

Hmm

Damn, fooled again :)
And yeah, if you really want to have a discussion Happy it's always good to give a link to your sources, that really helps.
