Subject: [geocentrism] Re: Moving Earth Deception..... However the most interesting point of this exercise was the fact that despite increasingly sensitive and accurate apparatus, no evidence that an aether had been identified was found.
[Robert Bennett] The 'null' result meant that MM didn't find the 30km/s speed they expected, but ~ 5 km/sec. ==> MM did find anistropy in c, but didn't acknowledge it. Wiki is giving the MS party line on this.
As we know from GWW, Dayton Miller's exps over 25 yrs clearly established a non-null aether detection.... and direction.
The suggestion, so often made, that MM proves the Earth to be stationary, so far from being conclusively shown, was not even mentioned.
[Robert Bennett] Michelson summarized the MM exp 'null' result as having 4 possible interpretations.... none of which were the static Earth, though this was an obvious deduction. Could the dominance of Copernican ideology be more obvious?
As such a proof depends in fact upon the presumption of the existence of an aether which cannot be shown, it seems then that this view springs entirely from a non scientific base.
[Robert Bennett] If reference is to Michelson's preclusion of a stationary Earth, this is true.
My understanding is that if an aether indeed does not exist, then this experiment says nothing at all about whether the Earth moves or does not move.
[Robert Bennett] Correct. But the result was not zero.
