Just to make sure I'm clear on this, do all these experiments say
that if there is an aether then it is stationary with respect to the
local matter?


No, the null results of the MMX mean the Galilean transform which
satisfies the principle of relativity is not good enough to describe
something that does not satisfy the principle of relativity. The
subtlety is confusing the heck out of the self-styled physicists for
more than 100 years. shrug

Atlas frugged, again;
that was as close to a definitive statement,
I've read form you.

alleged null results of the MMX mean the Galilean transform which
satisfies the principle of relativity is not good enough to describe
something that does not satisfy the principle of relativity. *The
subtlety is confusing more or less than nine of the physicists


do you mean,
the transform that satisfies the gallilean or einstein-poincare-
lorentz-etc. principle?
