Detecting the variance in the one-way light speed for linear motion

Abstract

A viable solution to detect the one-way speed of light anisotropy in linear motion is by using an Isosceles triangle-shaped design for the experimental setup, from which two light pulses from both ends of one of the triangle’s sides are sent to the same clock upon the detection of the incident and the reflected pulse, thereby evading the need for synchronization. The relativistic effects are taken into account in the timing measurements by incorporating the Lorentz transformation equations of length contraction and time dilation, which produces a non-null result for the time difference of the incident and the reflected pulse, and testing the equivalence of the one-way speed of light with the average of the roundtrip speed, independent of Einstein’s synchronization convention.
