Comment on: "A one-way speed of light experiment" by E. D. Greaves, et al. Am. J. Phys. 77(10), 894-896 (2009)
A. Macdonald, E. Minguzzi
TL;DR
This paper critiques a previous experiment claiming to measure the one-way speed of light, arguing that the experiment's design does not actually accomplish this measurement.
Contribution
It clarifies the limitations of the earlier experiment and emphasizes the challenges in measuring the one-way speed of light.
Findings
The experiment does not definitively measure the one-way speed of light.
Measurement ambiguities prevent conclusive results.
The paper highlights conceptual issues in such measurements.
Abstract
This is a comment on E. D. Greaves et al. paper. We argue that their laboratory experiment cannot be interpreted as measuring the one-way speed of light.
