All competing ether theories fall apart under empirical evidence.
Apart from your response taking me out of context and yet again highlighting your lack of understanding of what a frame of reference is, it has absolutely no relevance to the issue.
I asked a very simple question, if Sagnac interferometry shows why c can vary then why doesn't the MM test confirm this? Going off on a tangent on what I had supposedly said about the Sagnac apparatus doesn't answer the question.

Sagnac does not have to explain all these Steven. It does not matter if MM or anyother experiment plays a part.
The second postulate of SR is all that the Sagnac falsifies. That is all.
I've not taken you out of context. You blatted at me that if the ccd was on the table i would see nothing... the thread is there... go read it again. Back track all you want, i don't really mind.
The question was asked as to what has been falsified of Einstein's theories. I have investigated for many years this experiment, and provided a well respected link from professor Marmet, for people to go absorb for themselves.
I provided links for all curious laymen out there to go and make up their own mind. There is no church, inspect for yourself, trust no one.

Alex i enjoy your attitude.
Go read it for yourself, make up your own mind. Don't be put off by sprays or appeals to authority as you have seen here.
Best to you all.
