Abstract
The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad, West Indies; e-mail sgift@eng.uwi.tt Though many experiments seem to have verified the light speed invariance postulate of special relativity, this postulate is actually an unconfirmed idea. This paper proposes a resolution of this issue by first showing the manner in which an illusion of light speed invariance occurs in two-way light speed measurement in the framework of a semi-classical absolute space theory. It then demonstrates a measurable variation of the one-way speed of light, which directly invalidates the postulate and confirms the existence of the preferred reference frame of the absolute space theory.
