Abstract

We identify a fundamental space-time invariance principle by combining the thesis of the conventionality of simultaneity with the Hugyens-Fresnel-Miller model of wave propagation. By following the standard gauge prescription, we show that the classical electromagnetic potentials influence the one-way speed of light.
