# Geometric Sagnac Effect

The Sagnac effect demonstrates that rotation is absolute relative to the
vacuum frame. Light traveling with/against rotation acquires a phase shift
proportional to the enclosed area and angular velocity.

This proves the vacuum defines a preferred inertial frame.

**Theorem: Rotating Frame Time Gap**

In a rotating frame, light traveling clockwise vs counterclockwise experiences
different travel times, creating a phase shift Δφ ∝ A ω.

This is the Sagnac effect, which proves:
1. Rotation is absolute (detectable locally)
2. Vacuum defines a preferred frame
3. Speed of light is anisotropic in rotating frames

The effect is used in ring laser gyroscopes and proves that spacetime has
structure independent of matter.
