David Goodstein: The Michelson-Morley experiment compels us to believe
that the speed of light is the same to all observers regardless of
their state of motion.

Julian Barbour: And if there was no ether, the message seemed clear:
the speed of light was constant and not governed by the laws of motion
that apply on earth.

John Norton: "In addition to his work as editor of the Einstein papers
in finding source material, Stachel assembled the many small clues
that reveal Einstein's serious consideration of an emission theory of
light; and he gave us the crucial insight that 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. Even today, this point
needs emphasis. The Michelson-Morley experiment is fully compatible
with an emission theory of light that CONTRADICTS THE LIGHT
POSTULATE."

John Norton informs Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world that everybody
but Divine Albert has been lying about the Michelson-Morley
experiment. Professors in Einsteiniana's schizophrenic world couldn't
care less and continue to teach that the Michelson-Morley experiment
has gloriously confirmed Einstein's 1905 constant-speed-of-light
postulate (zombies invariably sing "Divine Einstein" and "Yes we all
believe in relativity, relativity, relativity"). Besides, it was
Divine Albert who first taught the blatant lie:

The New York Times, April 19, 1921
"The special relativity arose from the question of whether light had
an invariable velocity in free space, he [Einstein] said. The velocity
of light could only be measured relative to a body or a co-ordinate
system. He sketched a co-ordinate system K to which light had a
velocity C. Whether the system was in motion or not was the
fundamental principle. This has been developed through the researches
of Maxwell and Lorentz, the principle of the constancy of the velocity
of light having been based on many of their experiments. But did it
hold for only one system? he asked.
He gave the example of a street and a vehicle moving on that street.
If the velocity of light was C for the street was it also C for the
vehicle? If a second co-ordinate system K was introduced, moving with
the velocity V, did light have the velocity of C here? When the light
traveled the system moved with it, so it would appear that light moved
slower and the principle apparently did not hold.
Many famous experiments had been made on this point. Michelson showed
that relative to the moving co-ordinate system K1, the light traveled
with the same velocity as relative to K, which is contrary to the
above observation. How could this be reconciled? Professor Einstein
asked."
