The score so far:

I hate tie-breakers, so put me down for:

Any other takers ?

I noticed the term "Lorentzian Relativity" cropping up in an earlier post. So a more relevant question, is the measurement of the speed of light dependent on the motion of the observer? The answer is "absolutely" no.

The speed of light is the same in all directions.

Carl is correct, Speed and Velocity are not the same thing. If you change direction then velocity by default changes even if the speed remains the same.

The point I'm trying to make in this thread is that everyone is making different points which may be perfectly valid under different circumstances.

Steven clarified the question which, in my view, is the only way any clarity will ever come of statements made here.

Unless the question is worded with precision, little value will come of the thread. (Other than arguments).

Cheers
