For years, I have been working to revise the assumptions associated with Einstein’s relativity theories, postulating an alternate theory, somewhat analogous to Einstein’s concepts, however, now compatible with the existence of the ether.
The Michelson-Morley experiment (often referred to as MMX), performed in 1887 by American scientists Albert Michelson and Edward Morley in 1887, was an attempt to detect the existence of the luminiferous ether, a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves.
The result was negative in that Michelson and Morley found no significant difference between the velocity of light in the direction of movement through the presumed ether at right angles. This result is generally considered to be the first strong evidence against the then-prevalent ether theory.
In my book The Ether by Ramsey, I believe I have demonstrated that the null result of the experiment is, in fact, also compatible with the ether existence, rather than only a proof of its absence. If I am correct, Einstein’s special theory of relativity (SRT) main foundation block validating the MMX is eliminated, and his relativity theories then collapse. As a result, a new groundwork of physics is required: The Ether.
The most important facts to acknowledge regarding the overlooked physics are:
1. The interference pattern is observed at the detector but not formed there. It is →initially← formed at the location of the half-silvered mirror.
2. The interference pattern is fashioned from two opposing waves, which have already been reflected from the peripheral full mirrors to the central half-silvered mirror. So, from the reference frame of the half-silvered mirror, they are physically traveling in opposition towards one another (right angle).
3. For reinforcement, the interference pattern is not a function of two interacting parallel waves traveling in the same direction their entire (distances*), though the definition of parallel is only expressed mathematically as a function of time with respect to the equations of the MMX. Rather, as above, it is a function of two physical interacting waves traveling in physical opposition at the location of the half-silvered mirror.
