Interpreting the MMX null result
The MMX null result does not mean that there is no absolute motion of the
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: http://www.geocities.com/kn_seto/index.htm Ken Seto |
