Michelson Morrey experiment did not disprove aether. Because it was fundamentally flawed.​


by Marius L. Vasile

''The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether,[A 1] a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves. The experiment was performed between April and July 1887 by American physicists Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley at what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and published in November of the same year.[1]

The experiment compared the speed of light in perpendicular directions in an attempt to detect the relative motion of matter, including their laboratory, through the luminiferous aether, or "aether wind" as it was sometimes called. The result was negative, in that Michelson and Morley found no significant difference between the speed of light in the direction of movement through the presumed aether, and the speed at right angles.


This result is generally considered to be the first strong evidence against some aether theories, as well as initiating a line of research that eventually led to special relativity, which rules out motion against an aether.[A''

So the whole MM experiment is based on the premise that if the earth is moving through a stationary aether than the speed of light should change depending on the direction in which earth is moving. This is a completelly false and misleading assumption, which shows that these relative scientists really have no ideea how waves propagate in a medium.
If light is a wave, you can't add the velocity of the wave to that of the source, as these relative scientists expected. It will still travel with the speed of light regardless how fast or slow the source is moving relative to the aether medium. Just like a sound wave does. The speed of sound does not increase if the speed of the source increases relative to the air medium.

If a speeding train horns while it passes a station, the people on the station dont measure an increased speed of sound of the horn. What they measure is a an increased or decreased frequency (and wavelength) due to the Doppler effect. The speed of the wave is exactly the same.

Michelson Morrey experiment makes the false assumption that because the earth is moving, the speed of light should somehow be increased in the direction of movement, and decreased in the opposite direction. This is completelly false if light is a wave in a stationary aether, which was the main assumption of the experiment. It will travel at exactly the same speed regardless of the speed of the source. So there will be no change in the speed of light in either direction. Which is exactly what they seen: no difference. How does that disprove that aether exists ?! It si completelly illogical to draw this conclusion, yet here we have dozens of the worlds brightest scientists, many Nobel laureates, behaving like utter and complete fools who make the most illogical assumption and then based on it misinterpret their experiments in exactly the opposite way in which they should be interpretated.

What is truly incredible is that no one has seen their fundamental error before, including the greatest minds of science like ...none, and that this stupid experiment is considered for more than a century by all these relative scientists as the utimate proof that aether does not exist. When it should have been obvious for anyone who knows basic wave physics that Michelson Morley made a fundamental error in the very premise of the experiment, which could only lead to an erroneus conclusion.

The reason why the speed of light is the same in all frames of reference is because the medium of light, aether, is the only frame of reference for light waves, and the speed of light simply does not depend to any other frames. The speed of light only depends to ITS MEDIUM, which is the AETHER, and light only moves relative to its own fixed frame of reference. That’s why an observer will always measure the speed of light waves in a 'vacuum' which is aether to be the same, regardless if he is on a rocket or on a planet.
