Abstract
An extended variant of the solution of the generalized Lorentz transformations (their particular solution is Einstein's special theory of relativity) is suggested in which the experimentally recorded physical quantity c−1 (time) rather than the anisotropic velocity of light c is considered invariant for a quasi-closed light trajectory. The theory explains the Sagnac vortex effect and the negative result of experiments of the Michelson-Morley type. The theory can be tested experimentally against the transverse Doppler effect.
