NO SIGN OF ETHER DRIFT: WHY?

p. 11: "Problem for Lorentz's theory: no sign of ether drift (= motion
of ether with respect to earth). Many failed attempts to detect ether
drift, one of the most famous ones by Americans Albert A. Michelson
(1852-1931) and Edward W. Morley (1838-1923).
Explanation: compensating effect: length of interferometer arm changes
as it rotates: parallel to ether drift it is shorter than
perpendicular to the ether drift
Contraction (deformation) hypothesis: an object moving with a velocity
v through the ether contracts by a factor (1-v^2 c^2)^(1/2) in the
direction of motion."

Another explanation that essentially could have been advanced by
FitzGerald, Lorentz etc. if they had been less prejudiced in favour of
the ether theory:

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001743/02/Norton.pdf
John Norton: "Einstein regarded the Michelson-Morley experiment as
evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost
universally use it as support for the light postulate of special
relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE
WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE."

Which explanation would have been more correct?

You forgot:
- the aether was dragged by the Earth, and so consequently the
motion of light was conformed to the motion of the Earth.
Post by Pentcho Valev
Which explanation would have been more correct?
None of the above. Since it is only a challenge to Maxwell's
equations. As you know the "light postulate" was redundant to
"the laws of physics"... inclusive of Maxwell.

By the way, if no experiment can differentiate between
"perspective" and "aether", then the question itself is a
nonsequitur.

The emission / ballistic theories get into trouble when (for
example) starlight is used in MMX, or when the Moon is used for a
shutter for high-z objects.

So while Master John Norton calls the attention to the fact that THE
MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH AN EMISSION
THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT POSTULATE, you introduce
dragged aether as a red herring. But then you are not a zombie!
Rather, you are a clever hypnotist, at least as clever as Master Tom
Roberts! Master John Norton, Master Tom Roberts, Master David Smith.

Master John Norton apparently did not tell you that, since the light

if the light was issued from the anuses of pink elephants, and was
conducted along narrow sewer pipes as frozen turds, prior to entering

The MMX is compatible with Maxwell, Androcles' (and others') ballistic
emission, Lorentz aether, and dragged aether. Until you move the
light source, or try a different experiment, you cannot differentiate
between any of those with MMX. All you can disprove with the MMX
experiment is that the Earth is moving "separately" through a rigid
aether. Disproved with MMX.

Under the mathematics of the Lorentz transform, absolute simultaneity
is forbidden. The mathematical manifestation of the Lorentz transform
is the combination of time dilation and the principle of relativity.
Poincare had already identified this as relative simultaneity.
Relative simultaneity is the root cause of the twin's paradox. Under
the concept of relative simultaneity, any interference pattern cannot
happen. The interferometers should not have worked. Since
interferometers work so well and everytime ever so consistently, the
most logical conclusion is that relative simultaneity must not
possibly be valid. This also means the Lorentz transform must be
wrong.

There are other hypotheses that predict the same result. <shrug>

Besides, it is not conclusive that GPS utilizes GR to do so. To do
that, it requires a ground-to-satellite synchronization. This is just
too costly and too error-prone. In addition to the error associated
with downlink from satellite to the ground, there is just too much
error compared to satellite-to-satellite synchronization.

With physicists as consultants, GPS most likely did start out with
ground-to-satellite synchronization, but engineers quickly figured out
the unnecessary introduction of error can be eliminated if satellite-
to-satellite synchronization is implemented.

In Einstein's case if you use c+v you can derive c = (c+v)/(1+v/c) from
the cuckoo malformations he blamed on Lorentz. That says you can't
use c+v.

What troll kooks like Schwartz, Poe, McCullough, Roberts, Draper, Lawrence,
Andersen et. al. fail to realise is the existence of isomorphism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism
between Sagnac's real experiment and Einstein's hallucination experiment,
shown here:

Einstein sends light along the rack and back again, the rack
moving at velocity v in his pipe dream.
Sagnac sends the light around the gear wheel for real.
If you analyse one you should get the same result as the other, but
you cannot use SR to derive SR, that is petitio principii, circularity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question

c+v is essential to the derivation of the cuckoo malformations, the
part where Einstein screws up is:

light to travel from A to B equals the "time" it requires

Not included are
Proof by "because I say so",
Proof by "everybody knows",

There are other hypotheses that predict the same result. <shrug>
Besides, it is not conclusive that GPS utilizes GR to do so. To do
that, it requires a ground-to-satellite synchronization. This is just
too costly and too error-prone. In addition to the error associated
with downlink from satellite to the ground, there is just too much
error compared to satellite-to-satellite synchronization.
With physicists as consultants, GPS most likely did start out with
ground-to-satellite synchronization, but engineers quickly figured out
the unnecessary introduction of error can be eliminated if satellite-
to-satellite synchronization is implemented.
1) Idiot.
2) Relativistic effects on orbital clocks

"Einstein was wrong"

A plagiarist can never be wrong. However, the plagiarized material
can be wrong. <shrug>

"Special relativity joins space and time into a single weird thing
called spacetime that appears different to observers moving relative
to each other."

Even the crackpot cannot explain exactly what this weird thing is.
<shrug>

"Einstein reasoned that if the ion were accelerated to near-light
speed, time would slow for it and, hence, so would the rippling of the
emitted light waves. That is, the speeding ions would emit light of a
lower frequency."

Einstein's reasoning contradicts with transverse Doppler shift
predicted by the Lorentz transform. SR is not self consistent.

p. 11: "Problem for Lorentz's theory: no sign of ether drift (= motion
of ether with respect to earth). Many failed attempts to detect ether
drift, one of the most famous ones by Americans Albert A. Michelson

Explanation: compensating effect: length of interferometer arm changes
as it rotates: parallel to ether drift it is shorter than
perpendicular to the ether drift
Contraction (deformation) hypothesis: an object moving with a velocity

evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas later writers almost
universally use it as support for the light postulate of special
relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT IS FULLY COMPATIBLE

Which explanation would have been more correct?

Pentcho, if you take the time to understand the conventional concepts
of electromagnetic waves and the works of James Clerk Maxwell, there
is simply no reason to persit in the belief that a "luminiferous
aether" exists. Also, the aether theory has so many holes in it that
it can be dismissed out of hand. The most notable of these is the
notion that the aether can propagate transverse waves, somthing it
itself that would require the aether to be a solid, since only a solid
media transmits transverse waves, which makes it a bit difficult for
the earth to traverse through it.

Maxwell explained the concept of electromagnetic radiation over a
century ago, and Hertz confirmed it. When you understand it, which is
a rather trivial concept, there is simply no need for archaic aether
theory, except for the terminally brain dead. The basic concept is
rather simple: A time varying magnetic field gives rise to to an
associated time varying electric field. A time varying electric field,
in turn gives rise to a time varying magnetic field. Without even
knowing the mathematics, most people can realize that these two field
effects marry together, and give birth to electromagnetic radiation.
The rest is in the details although even the details are rather
general. Everything from radio waves, TV signals, light, x-rays, and
gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation. All follow the same rules
and all have the identical mechanism. Only their wavelengths are
different.

Radio and TV signals can freely propagate through space and be
received on an antenna on top of your home, or can be conducted
through a coaxial cable to our homes. At shorter wavelengths, X-rays
and gamma rays are more difficult to route, manage and control, but to
some extent that is being done today.

At any rate, the theory of the "luminiferous aether" was a good stab
during the 19th century of trying to explain effects that were not
then readily understood, but both the concepts of the Luminerous
Aether and its existance have long been disproven and replaced with
current and more productive concepts.

I hope that this post does not stomp on anyone's toes. It is intended
to be helpful.

Electromagnetic radiation, a trivial concept ?????
Well, is it ? For who?
I recall a university professor saying that he was teaching
electromagnetism for over 30 years, yet he could not say that
he really understood what electromagnetic waves are !
And I incline to believe him. He was being honest .
There are modern works that show the e.m. radiation as
longitudinal waves too. Then, where is the triviality?

Harry, a big hole in mainstream Physics is to argue that the aether
must be a solid because light produces transversal forces. (I agree
that AFAIK only a solid can propagate *standard transversal waves* but
this is not important once it is understood that light waves are not
standard transversal waves).

This is the abstract of a section of the "EVE model of the aether":
----------------
It has often been argued that if the aether is the medium for the
transmission of electromagnetic waves it must have the mechanical
properties of rigid solids since only then it could be able to sustain
transversal waves that are the basis to explain the polarization of
such waves. It is here argued that an aether of aetherinos (that has
more in common with a rarefied gas than with a solid) is also able to
exert transversal forces and to implement the polarization of
electromagnetic waves. An aetherino travelling from an emitter E to a
detector R along the straight line E-R imparts an impulse i to the
detector. This impulse will also have a component perpendicular to E-R
if the elementary detector (i.e. an electron of the detector) is
itself moving with a non zero component of its velocity perpendicular
to E-R. It is here argued that in this model of the aether this
transversal impulse is not trivial since it has the following two
characteristics: 1) The transversal impulses suffered by an
elementary detector from a flow of aetherinos modulated in such a way
that the density of aetherinos in the flow is periodically smaller and
bigger than that of the standard undisturbed aether, will alternately
(with the same periodicity of the aetherino's flow) increase and
decrease the transversal velocity of the target electron. 2) Such
resonance will be favoured if the transversal direction is coincident
with the preferred direction in which the charges of the emitter
oscillate because it is along such direction that the density gradient
of aetherinos manifests itself at the detector.

The aether is but does not exist as matter or anything else. Light
creates spacetime as it propagates.
