| Abstract | The measurement of one-way speed of light has remained an unsolved physical problem for a long time. The reason is that people were entrapped in the thinking pattern formed in low speed measurement, i.e., the one-way speed measurement relied on a synchronization signal with higher speed to synchronize the distant clock. The authors break this pattern with a new theory and experiment method, in which the light propagating in one direction is not only treated as a quantity to be measured but also as a time standard and a clock synchronization signal, which can avoid the infinite error and the logic circle of distant clock synchronization in the former method, thereby presenting the possibility to measure one-way speed of light and verify the isotropy of light speed. © 2011 Physics Essays Publication.

La raison en est que l'on a ete pieges dans un mode de penser fonde sur les mesures a basse vitesse, c'est-a-dire la mesure de la vitesse dans une direction s'est appuye sur un signal de synchronisation a une vitesse superieure pour synchroniser une horloge lointaine. Les auteurs departent de ce modele avec une nouvelle theorie et methode d'experimentation, dans laquelle la lumiere se propageant dans une direction n'est pas seulement consideree comme une quantite a mesurer, mais aussi comme une norme de temps et un signal de synchronisation de l'horloge, ce qui peut eviter l'erreur infinie et la logique circulaire de synchronisation d'horloge lointaine de la methode ancienne, presentant ainsi la possibilite de mesurer la vitesse de la lumiere dans une direction et de verifier l'isotropie de la vitesse de la lumiere. Key words: Theory on Measuring the One-Way Speed of Light; Invariance Speed of Light; Synchronization of the Distant Clocks; Kerr Cell; Time Dilation; Inertial Frame; Isotropy; Anisotropy; Optical Comb; Optical Clock. |
