Significance of the Sagnac Effect
Abstract
The Michelson-Morley- and the Sagnac-type experiments give only two independent equations for three unknown hidden parameters c+ , c- and cp. In the present case the incompleteness means that there are three unknown parameters for two equations. A third equation is needed in the form of a crucial experiment for the unique solutions. (Of course, this crucial experiment must be independent of the M-M- and Sagnac-type experiments.) In this manner we will be able to develop an authentic non-quantized (complete) theory of light.
