Independence of the isotropy convention for the one-way light speed in relativity
Foundations of Physics 16 (12):1307-1313 (1986)
Abstract
The convention that the one-way velocity of light is isotropic is shown to be independent of the postulates of relativity in a globally Minkowskian continuum, but not in a continuum which is only locally MinkowskianAuthor's Profile
