ABSTRACT: The self-rotating motion of the earth makes it possible to test the constancy of the speed of light in all directions by measuring the one-way speed of light. The review of the implemented experiments to test the constancy of the speed of light, based on the theory of the absolute system of reference, yields some indications that the speed of light is affected by the self-rotational motion of the earth. The newest experiments based either on the methodology of standing waves or on the Compton edge effect cannot contribute in this field of research. A proposed experiment to measure the one-way speed of light, and the corresponding relativistic predictions, are discussed.
