The MMX null result does not mean that there is no absolute motion of

apparatus. It merely means that the speed of light is isotropic in the
horizontal plane. In order to detect anisotropy of the speed of light
using
the MMX, the plane of the light rays must be oriented vertically. This
conclusion is supported by the observed gravitational red shift
(gravitational potential) in the vertical direction. Also this
interpretation is supported by the results of the Pound and Rebka
experiments [5]. It should be noted that this new interpretation does
not
mean that the earth is moving vertically in the ether (the E-Matrix)
on all
the locations where the MMX is performed. It merely means that if the
plane
of the light rays is oriented vertically then the apparatus will give
non-null result with respect to these local light rays.
Additional proposed experiments supporting the above interpretation
are
described in the paper entitled "Proposed Experiments to Detect
Absolute
Motion" in my website:

Horizontal with respect to what? The spinning Earth?

The directions of horizontal or vertical are not relative. Different
locations on earth have different horizontal and vertical directions.



If they are not relevant, why did you write,

I didn't say that they are not relevant. I said that they are not relative.

"This conclusion is
supported by the observed gravitational red shift (gravitational
potential) in the vertical direction"?

Because that's what the experimental data show.
