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

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.


Not needed. The Principle of Uncertainty does the job just fine. The
absolute of position is that every point (without exception) of an infinite
Universe is the exact, absolute, fixed center of the Universe. The ground
zero (0) of local or foreground universe, leaving non-locality, in this case
the remotest background Universe, such as "c = Unity = 1," the absolute of
velocity (therefore the 'out of bounds' of all relative -- all finite --
velocities ('v'). Independent of all of local or relative velocities, Even
'anti-velocity velocity' (?) if you prefer). Motion is anything between the
two absolutes, relatively speaking. Except overall, as the third metric of
three, it has no absoluteness of its own. Except generally speaking (where
completely unspecified: archetypically: stereotypically: indeterminate),
there is no such thing as absolute motion.

Gravitational redshifting in local foreground universes is probably based
upon the universal constant of gravity, 'G', the non-localizable
archetypical (the stereotypical). Remote background Universe stuff such as
"G = Unity = 1," the absolute of gravity, therefore the 'out of bounds' of
all relative -- all finite -- gravities ('g'). Independent of all local or
relative gravities. "Anti-gravity gravity" (?) if you prefer. Enter
'verticality'? Enter 'vacuum' or 'void'? Enter 'deep space'? Enter
'Multiverse'?

Any sense of 'vertigo' yet? Any sense of 'vacuum' or 'void' yet? Any sense
of 'chaos' or 'disorder' yet? Any sense of 'float' yet? Any sense of
'early', 'primitive', 'primal', 'primordial', 'primeval', 'primary',
'fundamental', 'non-local', 'remote', 'background', 'wild', 'frontier',
Universe (U, versus u) yet? Any sense of "Unity" (U, versus u) yet? Any
sense of 'Horizon' yet? Of 'Merger' yet? Of "One" ('1') yet? Of Singularity
(versus Plurality) yet? Of archetypical or stereotypical yet? Of 'anti' yet?
Of 'All' (as in "Cosmic All", or "All Mankind," or "All Life") yet? Of
"absolute" yet? Of 'independency' yet? Of "not relative" yet?

The holy trinity of "absolute" are 'infinite', 'infinitesimal', and
'universal constancy'. The odd man out is 'finite'. Regarding "finite,"
'infinite' being relatively indistinguishable from '1'; 'infinitesimal'
being relatively indistinguishable from '0'; 'universal constancy' (all
universal constants) being relatively indistinguishable from 'independency'
.. . . thank God!
