Abstract: A device, system and method for measuring the one-way velocity of light using selective transmission technology to provide a “superluminal” energy flow is provided. The “superluminal” transmitter comprises a transmission source, a receiver, and a selective-transmission device for receiving the transmission wavepacket from the transmission source and selectively transmitting the wavefront component of the transmission wavepacket through a barrier such that the energy transmission tunnels through the barrier at “superluminal” group velocities. The measured daily oscillation of the tunnel time can then be utilized to measure the one way light velocity. A system and method for measuring the vector phase or group velocity of light using the “superluminal” transmitter system of the invention is also provided as well as a device which can be utilized as a compass, a calendar and/or a clock.

Abstract: A device, system and method for measuring the inverse fine structure constant using cosmic compass technology to provide sidereal group and phase velocities is presented. The measured daily oscillation of the phase velocity can then be utilized to measure the inverse fine structure constant. A system and method for detecting the cosmic microwave background Doppler redshift direction is also provided as cosmic compass technology as well as a device which can be utilized as a calendar and/or a clock.
