In this discussion the term sphere is used to describe the light formation but is not a perfect sphere since the center of the sphere is moving slightly to the right. The horizontal distance of 880 feet is small compared to the veritcal distance of 186,000 miles.

0 Seconds The trains are at the point opposite each other, when Mi turns the Plasma light on.

.5 Seconds The expanding plasma sphere of light is shown, 2 dimensionally. The top part of the sphere is half way to the top tracks. Note the light shines in all directions from the source. Up down Left Right and Frontward and Backwards and in all possible directions.

1 Second. Here the sphere has a hollow center where there is no light. The rays going to the top tracks exactly straight up we know from the Laser study do not find Mo’s train since it has moved down the track to the East.

Composite Diagram The shard of light from the expanding Plasma sphere that seems to find the train hits the mirror at a slight angle and since the angle of reflection is complimentary to the angle of incidence it is reflected back down to Mi’s train. Since the velocity is the same the shard of light off the mirror strikes Mo’s train. The time is slightly longer than 2 seconds not because the light has changed its speed but because the distance it had to travel is longer than just going up and straight back.

Metric Analysis of Plasma Light with Moving Trains

In these two diagrams a metric analysis of the plasma light ray is presented. Light is assumed to move at 300,000 Km/Sec. The green dots show where the two trains start when the light is turned on. The top train with Mo is traveling at 600 Km/Hr. The yellow dot is where the light hits Mo’s train. Z is the distance between the trains.

When Mo’s train is hit by the light, the time is recorded. This time is the same for Mo’s train to start and get to this point as is the time the light took to start and get to the top train.

Using algebraic simultaneous equations the parameters can be solved. Check my math. The angle Alpha is the angle between the line at the start of Mi’s train to the top track and the line of light that hits Mo’s train.

The distance Mo’s train goes is slightly more than 1/6 Km since the light took slightly longer than 1 second to hit Mo’s train. It did not travel straight up but at a slight angle.
