Dr. Henri Wilson a écrit :

Anyway, the MMX null result was to be expected. There is NO aether and light
moves at c wrt everything at rest in the source frame. In other words, it just
bounces around the apparatus at c wrt everything in it.
Why would anyone but an idiot expect a fringe shift?

Silly YBM can only give an irrelevant reference. Still silly YBM may
wish to elaborate on a statement from his irrelevant reference:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_of_light
"In contrast, stellar aberration is independent of the distance of a
celestial object from the observer, and depends only on the observer's
instantaneous transverse velocity with respect to the incoming light
beam, at the moment of observation."

Would the observer measure a slightly greater speed of light, due to
his/her non-zero transverse velocity? Be careful, silly YBM!
