Abstract
Light paths through a rotating system were examined using a hypothetical synchrotron machine in which self-luminous particles were orbiting at velocities closely approaching the velocity of light in an outer ring and at progressively slower speeds in a series of smaller concentric rings. It was concluded that the curvature of the ray is a function only of the spin or angular velocity, that different paths are taken by the light to and from any pair of points in the rotating system, that the time-independent or direct radius differs from the action or ray distance, and that it should be possible to determine absolute rotation by measuring the divergence of the paths in opposing directions.
