For engineering equipment it's often impossible to deal with the manufacturer. Your purchasing, training, calibration and trouble shooting has to be done by local resellers who do all this. It can be a huge pain in the ass and just slows everything down unless you get a rare reseller that really knows their shit.

Cancel now! It's incredibly convoluted process that makes you think you've done it but no, there's always one more confirm screen hiding behind a tiny button

Not without paying licencing fees for Hannibal Lecter first!

Yeah I bought a bunch of shares 3 years ago, cashing a big chunk out soon for a decent profit

Oh the downvotes!

I read all those and every test has reduced the amount that the speed of light could be anisotropic. From "it could be twice as fast in this direction to the other" to "it could be a small fraction of the relativistic effect of moving a clock through space." Every improvement in measurement trends towards isotropic.

The clocks involved in gps are accurate enough that they have to take relatively into account for gps to be accurate. That's far more accurate than you need to measure the speed of light.

Sync them right next to each other, then move one of them. The other way you could test this theory is to have one clock tell the other the time over an optical link and then have the other do the same. If the speed of light was different in different directions. Each would measure a different lag.

With a detector and very accurate clocks, it would be easy to say "I'm going to send a pulse at 2pm, record when you receive it" that's measuring it in one direction

It's a pale zucchini with a six pack

Unless this is a turnkey plugin that takes very few people to implement. It would be A. Too difficult and B. Too easy for anyone who knows about it to whistle blow it's existence
