Again the MMX is not designed to detect absolute motion of the earth.
It

is

designed to detect the isotropy or anistropy of the speed of light.



Don't worry about what the MMX is designed to test - just answer the
one-word questions.

So then it must be the case that *all* MMX devices which are attached to
the surface of the Earth, share the same absolute motion (i.e. speed and
direction) at their points of attachment. Right?


Speed and direction of absolute motion wrt what?

Speed and direction wrt anything.

????????????



And the absolute motion shared by the source and detector has always
been perpendicular to the plane defined by the arms of the MMX devices.
Right?


NO.....if the MMXZ detected isotropy then it is perpendicular to the
plane
frined by the arms of the MMX.


and just how do you think that differs from what I said?

Her's what I meant to say:
1. if the MMX gives null result that means that the speed of light is
isotropic in the plane of the arms.
2. If the MMX gives non-null rsult, that means that the speed of light is
anistropic in the plane of the arms.

This is different than what you were trying to say: That the MMX apparatus
is moving in a specfic direction wrt anything.
