Abstract

An investigation of the propagation of light, assuming absolute spacial distances, the veracity of the principle of causality, and that the average speed of light measured over a closed path is a constant C, shows that the speed of light may have values between C/2 and is a function of direction. Generalized Lorentz transformations are found which are shown to be equivalent to those conventionally adopted. That an absolute simultaneity cannot be established electromagnetically is shown to follow. The arbitrary nature of indirect observables such as time dilation is discussed.
