摘要:
In a recent paper, F. Selleri argued that the result of the Sagnac experiment is incompatible with the assumption that the one-way speed of light is isotropic in every Lorentz frame. We present an intuitive argument which allows one to argue that a rational description of the Sagnac effect can be reached on the basis of special relativity and of an invariant one-way speed of light as a pure desynchronization effect.
