So you think you have a brilliant idea about how to measure the one-way speed of light, only to discover that it contains a very trivial oversight. Luckily this initial failure was the start of a few new insights on the relationship between one-and two-way speed of light. Well, at least new to me...
What do you think: is there a way that the one-way speed of light is not identical to the two-way speed of light?
