Hiermit möchte ich erinnern an das Buch: „Relativistic Propagation of Light„ von Professor Wallace KANTOR, da ich es für besonders wichtig halte. Dieses Buch aus dem Jahre 1976 ist in vielen wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken in Deutschland verfügbar. In meinem vorstehend verlinkten Beitrag hatte ich unter anderem das Vorwort (Preface) in einer Übersetzung aus dem Amerikanischen zitiert. Für diejenigen unter meinen Lesern, die sich für die Originalfassung des Vorworts interessieren, bringe ich dieses nachstehend:

Zitat:

PREFACE

This monograph presents, in one convenient place, a critical examination of t he immediately relevant experimental evidence in the kinematics of the special theory of relativity and the old luminiferous ether theory. The result is surprising; there is no kinematic experimental support for either of these theories. There is, instead, considerable unrecognized experimental evidence, both qualitative and quantitative, that contradicts these theories. 

There is experimental evidence to an accuracy of one or two percent showing that the speed of light does actually depend on the motion of its source at the time of its emission from the moving source. 

There is experimental evidence showing that the speed of light in certain physical situations does exceed the vacuum-speed of light emitted from a stationary source. 

There is the only valid first-order experimental evidence that the speed of light skew-convected by a flowing fluid is found to conform to the classical (etherless) addition of speeds, and not the Einstein „addition“ of speeds; the ether theory Fresnel convection coefficient is also thereby experimentally contradicted.
