rabinoz, you are just as ****ing stupid (and possibly ****ing mad) as your friend.
You cannot calculate the Sagnac from a 150,000,000 km distance where the arcs could measure 1 meter, 100 meters, or a few kilometers in size.
The angle subtended will be on the order of 0.0000000001 radians.
The Sagnac will not be picked up.
Your mad friend dismisses established authors which have calculated the Sagnac correctly.
Here is a list of the scientific publications signed A. Tartaglia and A. M. Ruggiero:
http://porto.polito.it/view/creators/Ruggiero=3AMatteo_Luca=3A004059=3A.scopus_impact.htmlTwo of the best experts on the Sagnac effect in the world today.
They have calculated the Sagnac for a parallelogram shaped interferometer the correct way.





Published in the AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, vol. 83, pp. 427-432. - ISSN 0002-9505
In the rectangular shaped interferometer we get for the CCW path:
ct1 = vt1 + 4a + 4b
One beam.
For the CW path:
ct2 = 4a + 4b - vt2
The second beam.
This is the correct calculation.
Now, we get the shift:
dt = 2Lv/c2
L = 4a + 4b
No loop at all, just the path of the light.
You cannot pick up the Sagnac in a lab, where s might measure 1 meter, from a distance of 150,000,000 km.
Moreover, the interferometer exemplified in this graphic, COULD NEVER BE BUILT.
https://i.imgur.com/BrbOgFL.pngYou just will not be able to match the R2-R1 and r1-r2 differences and the sizes of the s1 and s2 distances.
Take a look at a very simple calculation.
R2 = 150,000,000
s = r x @
s2 = 15 km
15 = 150,000,000 x @
@ = 1x10
-7s1 = 149,990,000 x @ = 14.999
r2 = 16,400 km
r1 = 6,400 (10,000 difference just like the orbital calculation)
s2 = 15 km
@ = 0.000915
s1r = 5.853 km
v2r = 1.1923
v1r = 0.46528
dto/dtr = [2v2os2 - 2v1os1]/[2v2rs1 - 2v1rs2]0.11996/-0.0013362 = -89.777
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO BUILT THIS INTERFEROMETER WHEN THE R1-R2 AND r1-r2 not to mention the s1-s2 DISTANCES JUST CANNOT BE MATCHED?
The Sagnac cannot be picked up from a distance of 150,000,000 km, as your mad friend has done.
Obviously, this is the wrong approach.
Your mad friend has posted the equations he thinks directly represent the graphic proposed by him.
They lead to this equation:
Thus dt=2*omega*alpha*R22/c2-2*omega*alpha*R1^2/c2
=2*omega*alpha*(R22-R12)/c2Let me repeat.
Your mad friend has tried to pick up the Sagnac from a distance of 150,000,000 km, using a subtended angle of the size of some 0.000000001 radians.
According to him, this is the final product of his warped logic:
Thus dt=2*omega*alpha*R22/c2-2*omega*alpha*R1^2/c2
=2*omega*alpha*(R22-R12)/c2Then, it is very simple to see where this madman went wrong.
v = ωR
v
2 = ωR
2v
1 = ωR
1s = Rφ (s = arclength)
dt = 2φωR
22/c
2 - 2φωR
12/c
2 dt = 2v2s2/c2 - 2v1s1/c2BUT THIS IS WRONG!
The Sagnac shift is made up of one term, not two.
You cannot have TWO SPEEDS, only one.
There is no negative term in the Sagnac.
This the correct formula for the Sagnac.
dt = 2vs/c
2s=@R (usually @=2π)
A SINGLE TERM. ONE SPEED. NOTHING ELSE.
Until you show us your analysis of both the rotational and orbital Sagnac delays for the system represented below you have nothing!Go **** yourself rabinoz.
You have already been provided with a classic analysis done the right/correct way for a parallelogram.
dt = 2Lv/c2
v = angular velocity x radius
Earth rotational angular velocity = 7.27 × 10−5 rad/s
Radius = 6,378 km
vr = 0.463 km/s
Earth orbital angular velocity = 2 x 10-7 rad/s
Radius = 150,000,000 km
vo = 30 km/s
If we substitute these values in the Sagnac formula, we get
vo/vr = 30km/s/0.463 km/s =~ 60
The orbital Sagnac is larger than the rotational Sagnac at least by a factor of 60.
There is no error in this calculation, you moron.
Here is where your mad friend's approach has taken you, by contrast:
Thus dt=2*omega*alpha*R22/c2-2*omega*alpha*R1^2/c2
=2*omega*alpha*(R22-R12)/c2Then, it is very simple to see where this madman went wrong.
v = ωR
v
2 = ωR
2v
1 = ωR
1s = Rφ (s = arclength)
dt = 2φωR
22/c
2 - 2φωR
12/c
2 dt = 2v2s2/c2 - 2v1s1/c2BUT THIS IS WRONG!
The Sagnac shift is made up of one term, not two.
You cannot have TWO SPEEDS, only one.
There is no negative term in the Sagnac.
His final equation has TWO SPEEDS, TWO TERMS (ONE OF WHICH IS NEGATIVE).
But this is not Sagnac.
These are HIS EQUATIONS.
Yet here you are like the imbecile that you are, proclaiming that they are correct.
This is the Sagnac formula:
dt = 2vs/c
2s=@R (usually @=2π)
A SINGLE TERM. ONE SPEED. NOTHING ELSE.
Here is what you mad friend has achieved:
dt = 2v2s2/c2 - 2v1s1/c2TWO SPEEDS, TWO TERMS, ONE OF THEM NEGATIVE.
This is what you get when you try to pick the Sagnac from a distance of 150,000,000 km, where s might measure 1 meter or a few kilometers in size.
You know what you have to do rabinoz.
Find a single reference where the Sagnac includes TWO TERMS, TWO SPEEDS.
You won't find any.
Then, you cannot come here and complain.
The final equation posted by your mad colleague is totally wrong.
It is as simple as this.
I was asked to debunk his derivation, which I did.
His final equation leads to this:
dt = 2v2s2/c2 - 2v1s1/c2TWO SPEEDS, TWO TERMS.
But this is not the Sagnac formula.
Can you understand this much, or are you fucking mad as well?
