| We are considering the 1907 epoch. A reference to any modern vacuum
| theory (like Dirac's one or any other) is totally out of place. We
| must interpret "vacuum" with the meaning it had for the majority of
| 1907 physicists, absent of any kind of bodies or material entities
| (like fields since Faraday). Remember that for the analysis of the
| Michelson-Morley experiment in the XIX century, even the air was
| considered a sufficient good approximation for vacuum. The constant c
| value for vacuum light speed was a very well established experimental
| fact in 1907. I don't know


There we have it, then.  And since you don't know, what the hell are
you blabbering about, you cretin?

-- 
Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v,
the "time" each way is the same?

1/2[tau(A)+tau(A')]= tau(B)
where
A = (0,0,0,t)
A' =(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v) +x'/(c+v))
B = (x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
x' = x-vt
