Your problem is that you cannot grasp the physics behind the math, hence are
prone to following flawed mathematical arguments to nonsensical conclusions.
Do you still maintain that t_1 = t_2 despite the evidence of this simulation?

Do you need the source code to try to poke holes in my visual argument?
Do you realize that not one single mainstream physicist on these newsgroups has
offered you support? Not even Danco. You have *completely* misinterpreted his
critique of Tom's experiment.
The different views that Tom, Jan, Danco, Paul etc. have exchanged in these
discussions are, in my view, mostly semantic differences, i.e. differences in
terminology. Danco considers Tom's experiment to be merely an expression of the
Sagnac effect and hence a waste of time. Jan carefully distinguishes the Sagnac
effect from the effect exhibited by the fiber conveyor and the effect being
measured in Tom's proposed experiment. I fall somewhere in the middle, and
consider Tom's experiment to be worth doing because, in my opinion, it
represents a technological tour de force, with which opinion Danco disagrees.
But regardless in our differences in terminology and our widely divergent
opinions on the significance of Tom's proposed experiment, we all agree on the
math, and we all agree that the experimental arrangement is eminently doable.
You appear to stand with Ken Seto. Congratulations.
