Abstract
This paper describes a method for determining the one-way speed of light.
 
 My thesis is that the one-way speed of light is NOT constant in a moving frame of reference, and that the one-way speed of light in any moving frame of reference is anisotropic, in that its one-way measured speed varies depending on the direction of travel of light relative to the direction of travel and velocity of the moving frame of reference.
 
 Using the disclosed method for measuring the one-way speed of light, a method is proposed for how to use this knowledge to synchronize clocks, and how to calculate the absolute velocity and direction of movement of a moving frame of reference through absolute spacetime using the measured one-way speed of light as the only point of reference.

Summary
The most abundant particle in the universe is the photon. A photon is a massless quanta emitted by an electron orbiting an atom. Two less known facts encapsulated by Einstein in his theory of Special Relativity published in 1905, are that an object compress in length in the direction of travel as the object's velocity approaches the speed of light. A clock that is flying through space at 50% the speed of light is compressed in the direction of movement to 86.6% of its length, and time slows by a factor of 1.155, so that 100 minutes as measured by the travelling clock is 115.5 minutes as measured by a stationary observer. The principle of relativity states that you can't perceive these time and space differences inside your own frame of reference, but you can perceive them in an object that is moving through your frame of reference.
