THOUGHT/?the obvious?: Ulitimately the most basic form of the defacto 'impediment-problem' with the Michelson-Morley Interferometer experiment might be more basic than even 'Relativity' might explain. We are performing this experiment on a giant electro-magnetic spinning centrific-gravitational device aka The Planet Earth. This experiment would be more validly performed fairly far out in space. But that eventuality might be beyond our current life-times, more's the pity.
Let us suppose that the flow/polarity of the planetary electro-magnetic flow that we easily observe via the Van Allen Belt is such that the relative planetary spin-and-twist is likely bound to parallel flow of gravitional compression. Simply speaking, 'light polarizes' and if you shift it's direction of flow within a 'field/rotating-field'you will simply subsequently see it 'alter its wave-split course' relative to the position of the device within the greater geo-magnetic field. This is predictable and not particularly illucidative of any genuine discovery of 'new-knowledge.' Again: A more 'novel' & unique discovery relative to the general conceptual premise of this experiment will likely 'not' be forthcoming until we can perform it well beyond the immediate influence of any geo-magnetic/ & or Solar/Magnetic field. And to further determine efficacy of results we can then perform it again in graduated proximity to said fields. But until we have that ability the experiment is to seriously handicapped by our stuck-position on the planet's surface to truely do it justice. And speaking of Centrific-Gravionic field-force magnification/compression: ?Why are we not sensibly building Space-Stations in accord with Arthur C. Clarke's spinning gyro-wheel centrifi-gravity concept? What a huge bunch of astronaut-weightless problems that easily solves. It seems that until we get the 'basics' correct, we are merely beating out collective noggins against a very hard wall. And that in a very expensively 'national budget' draining fashion.' As a planet we are 'way-behind' but all the while the saddest most paradoxical aspect of our dilemma is that globally-speaking we do have the material resources and we more than amply have the brain-power. The one who suggested that we find a way to create-engineer the 'iums' that China wants to withhold and 'turn a tidy profit' for a 'united community of progressive minds' to quantum leap over the current inane 'political obstructions of ignorant pols determining the planet's future' is right on the mark. Shite does walk & Money certainly does 'talk.' But there is virtually no potential limit to what a cadre of brilliant men & women can accomplish such as occured with the Fermi/Szilard/Oppenheimer/Teller led team of the 'Manhattan Project.' But it's about time that such a cadre of current brilliant minded women & men turn into 'hard core capitalists.' And that in order to leap-frog the knee-jerk paranoid/schizophrenic control of the Military-Industrial-World-Banking-Complex/MIWBC. I really think that Cern/Hadron is more an organ of that MIWBC than what we need for instance. A parallel free to innovate flight engineer team such as Burt Rutan's 'Scaled Composites' @ Mohave-Calif. is more what I had in mind. The Black-Sky X-Project award, for instance, was no small accomplishment. I'm smiling, who'd've thought, his fuel for his space plane is powdered-tires & nitrous-oxide. . . . simply amazing! > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:22:06 -0400 > Subject: Re: [Vo]:Michelson-Morley Interferometer experiment finally done > correctly? > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Stephen A.
