Default 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:
