The interpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment I referred to is the
standard one: It is assumed that the speed of light is independent of the
motion of the light source (a false assumption, as it will turn out), then
calculations are made based on this assumption and in the end the times for
the light moving in the direction of the motion and the light moving in the
direction perpendicular to the motion are CALCULATED to be DIFFERENT, in
contradiction with the experimental result showing that these times are
EQUAL.
My calculations are just based on a different assumption - I initially
assume that the speed of light varies with the speed of the light source as
predicted by Newton's emission theory of light.
