Silvertooth Aether Experiment
Why does no one mention an aether detection experiment by E. W.
Silvertooth in the 1980's? "Concerning the Silvertooth experiment: The Michelson-Morley experiment, which did not show any translational motion through an aether or other medium of propagation, was later shown to have a fundamental flaw: The standing waves that are reflected back onto a mirror become phase locked on the mirror, and hence to its motion through space. Silvertooth built a standing wave experiment that avoids the phase locking encountered in the Michelson-Morley setup. It uses a configuration similar to the Sagnac experiment, which many years ago did detect motion relative to an aether. Silvertooth's addition was a sensor capable of measuring the spacing between standing wave nodes. This spacing is dependent upon the orientation of the apparatus relative to the Earth's motion, and this fact made the Earth's motion measurable. Silvertooth measured the 378 km/s motion of the Earth in this experiment. Some references a Silvertooth, E.W., "Experimental Detection of the Ether", Speculations in Science and Technology, Vol. 10, No.1, page 3 (1987) In that same issue beginning on page 9, is an excellent "Plain English" summary by H. Aspden entitled 'On the Silvertooth Experiment'. [We are heading toward the Constellation Leo.]" What is amazing is that the results of Silvertooth's measurement of the Earth's movement through the aether is fully consistent both in speed and direction with results later computed for Earth's velocity relative to the cosmic background radiation rest frame! However it differs from results obtained by Miller in the 1920's. Double-A |

Based on precise measurements of this anisotropy, it was determined that, relative to the CMB, the heliocentric frame moves at 390 km/s towards Leo. Given the earth's orbital speed of 30 km/s, this is a very good agreement with Silvertooth's measurement.

A citation search through ISI Web of Science[47] reveals no references to any of Silvertooth's papers in the mainstream scientific literature. An online document[46] briefly mentions and dismisses it on the grounds that both the experiment and the theoretical analysis are flawed, but given how well Silvertooth's result agrees with the independently determined motion of the Earth through the CMB, error seems to be an insufficient explanation. Unless Silvertooth committed outright fraud by simply making a lucky guess as to the Earth's velocity relative to the CMB and then ascribing this guess to an imaginary experiment, the inescapable conclusion would be that translation can be measured by purely electromagnetic means and that Einstein's theory of special relativity is falsified." http://www.world-mysteries.com/sci_supr.htm Double-A |

Silvertooth Aether Experiment
The intriguing thing is that Silvertooth came up with results that
were later confirmed to be very close to the results obtained by analyzing the CMBR. If Silvertooth were rigging an experiment to foster belief in aether, you would have tried to match the results of Miller as to direction and speed. But his results were completely different than Miller's. The significance of the direction and speed Silvertooth did report didn't come to light until after the satellite mapping of the CMBR had been done and calculations made to determine the CMBR rest state. The results were in good agreement with Silvertooth's. It would seem likely that the rest state of the CMBR would also be the rest state of the aether. Double-A |

Heh.. maybe some fanatic "aether cultists" fabricated and back-dated
the Silvertooth data to agree with the CMBR dipole anisotropy findings. |

Moreover, even if somebody manages to actually use an interferometer to find the aether (which i do most strongly doubt, since i agree with oc that any attempt to use an interferometer to find an energy that is not EM in nature will always deliver a null result or be erroneous like Miller's and Silvertooth's) it would only *refine* relativity theory, and not nullify it. Also, it's a pretty far cry from measuring the velocity of the planet to measuring a luminiferous aether. Just because Silvertooth was able to accurately measure the velocity of Earth does not mean to me necessarily that his other work is correct. I honestly think that using an interferometer to try to detect the aether is foolish, unless someone can build one that can detect the type of energy that comprises the SPED at the minuscule, tiny wavelengths of "granulons" and gravitational energy.
