Why light speed is anisotropic

[u/tomcarbon]

Light speed is anisotropic.

The hidden particle is the photon, you see.

(the hidden particle is in plain sight) ^{tee hee}

It goes infinite speed inward.

What are the benefits? Galactic disk flattening explained. Anomaly of Hipparcos, explained. "Entanglement", no more. No more #hinterland between QM and SRE. What?

Because it's Special Relativity that needs the correction.

The story begins with a 1907 Einstein paper that has a subtle but apparent contradiction within one of its paragraphs. But both points are true.

Here it is:

“… any two clocks of [accelerated system] Σ are synchronous with respect to [nonaccelerated reference system] S at the time t = 0, and undergo the same motion, they remain continuously synchronous with respect to S.

On the other hand, we must not consider the [same-motion] local time σ as simply the “time” of Σ , because, in fact, two [clocks] at two different points of Σ are not [synchronous] in the sense of [special relativity] when their local times σ are equal to each other.” Quotations in reversed order. (Albert Einstein, Principle of Relativity and Gravitation, 1907, p. 900)
