Abstract
The Sagnac experiment and its successful application to yield a commercial laser fiber ring interferometric gyroscopic compass shows that the velocity of light c is fixed rerlative to geocentric coordinates or the magnesphere. Einstein's postulate that the velocity of light is c with respect to any observer is modified.
