Re: Relativity drive

But what of the laser gyro?

I mean - if I understand correctly, if the rotation of the laser gyroscope is in the opposite direction to the beam of light contained within, that beam of light takes correspondingly longer to reach the fixed target within the ring.

This seems to somewhat defy the simple Einstein elevator model...

In fact, could it not be deduced that the laser beam is not confined to the elevator?

My head is spinning.
