The One Way Light Fantastic

Authors: Aya Thompson

We propose a setup allowing the physical testing of a "one way" or rather anisotropic/directionally dependent speed of light. A foundational yet unsolved measurement problem proposed to be impossible, we demonstrate the basis for a setup that is immediately practicable. Our insight is simply that the pythagoerean theorem allows for a tiny geometric indiscrepancy in path length versus time over a 2d geometry, most likely the maximum indiscrepancy allowed. The existence of a mathematical proof of anisotropic speed of light being testable is important for relativity and more foundationally the lorentz transformation itself, while a practical test application holds the potential for answering unsolved questions regarding the nature of spacetime.
