Re: What is a photon

True there are no inertial frames, but we can take a ruler and mark out
two points. That amounts to a distance.
Both end points and all in between are say travelling at speed v with
respect to aether. Say marked out distance if D.
So in time T both points will travel distance vT with respect to the
fixed solid aether.
With respect to the end point before T the other end point will move
distance vT.
If light started from end point before T then at other end point it will
have travelled D+vT.
From starting at other end it will travel D-vT.
However time T is the same for both sides as per MMI experiment.
Which means that light speed has to be variant meaning c+v one way and
c-v the other way, just as for anything kinetic.
