The heart of the matter is this. Even is SR & GR weren't flawed, even if there were no experiments which showed it to be incorrect (there are quite a few) it is still a fact that aether theory had no reason to be dropped as there is no evidence against a fluid aether (a stationary one is illogical at the outset as galixies are flying apart and is well disproven) and even Einstein said there was one.
Funny that, the MMX shows the result that M & M expected which was that there is an aether drift, Enstein submitted a theory that allowed one to look at this without an aether and then went on to say that only a fool wouldn't think there is an aether and that's the basis of it being cast aside??? isn't that a tad curious? And yet you basically consider that anyone who believe in it or questions SR/GR to be a crank. I consider anyone willing to cast aside the best most logical and evidence supported theory (which has no evidence against it unlike SR) without even giving it consideration a crank, On 3/7/07, Stephen A.

I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry I called you a crank, and if you don't assert that my religion must be SR if I don't immediately grasp your arguments, I promise I won't do it again.
