    Then I was probably incorrect, what would be a correct term for isotropic but depends on direction? Because I also meant one-way speed

      Hi lad,
      i was not certain so i double checked :
      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropy
      Physics - - Electromagnetics :

      An isotropic medium is one such that the permittivity, ε, and permeability, μ, of the medium are uniform in all directions of the medium, the simplest instance being free space.

      … if you read this like i do, they do not care to diferentiate “round trip” and “one way” … and my vocabulary is not good enough to find a word that would fit.
