"6. Concluding Remarks

It should be clear from this discussion that the Sagnac and related experiments are more readily handled and explained away by theories based on variable speed of light including the Emission Theory.

In fact, experiments of the Sagnac type are part of the evidence against Special Relativity [Ref. #3], and any other theory built upon constant speed of light with respect to moving observers.

Explanations based on General Relativity, like the one given earlier, cannot change this fact. That is because, even though not always clear, the latter theory implies varying speed of light with position. And in any case, those explanations are contrived and un-convincing.

Furthermore, the ability of observers to detect and measure the angular velocities of their platforms, without any reference to anything else, must worry all those who believe that the Principle of Relativity is valid under all conceivable circumstances. Mere familiarity and a bit of collective wizardry may lessen this concern. But, really, if they think about it more carefully, rotation must be deeply troubling. It’s, above all, the strongest evidence, as demonstrated by Newton’s Rotating-Pail Experiment, for absolute space and time."
