M&M expected the ether to be standing still relative to the earth orbiting around the sun hence their horizontal experiment but if this new vertical experiment is validated then what? Could we consider this a 90 degree shift like current through a coil that expands a magnetic field at 90 degrees to the electrical current? Or like the Puthoff atomic model keeping orbitals expanded with VP passing thru the present form future to past while restoring any emissions to keep the orbital at a minimum of ground state?

I should add as possible implications: 1) An optical gravitometer? . one that may detect virtual photons (i.e. as an indicator of gravitons). If the mainstream is correct on gravitons, then detection of individual gravitons, although not prohibited by any fundamental law, would be impossible with any physically reasonable detector, due to the low cross section of gravitons with matter. It is possible that there is either a detectable reaction that creates virtual photons or that the graviton has "a messenger". Horace Heffner has posted that he thinks that the mediator of the gravitational force is a messenger graviton, i.e. virtual graviton, which is the analog of the vitual photon. This sounds logical to me. This experiment may indicate that whatever variety of virtual particle is being detected carries a gravitational charge. Jones
