If A and B are stationary, it seems reasonable - actually, it is,
reasonable.

A and B are points on a moving rod. To use the equation above some
assumptions have been made, no doubt. The first is there is no ether.
The second is that light propagates between two points A and B, it
does not travel at c, but at c-v.

The length of the rod is assumed to be AB and also AB' where AB" = ct
+vt. Or is it ct?
