Going on reports I read elsewhere some time back, I think he claims to confirm the original Millars and Moreley's experiments of proof of aether flow. Actually the exact wording was they proved the "anistropy of light" I did not like that terminology, as it seemed to be confusing . I will try to follow it up. Philip. Dear Philip, What do you think this means in respect of all the previous interferometer results?

They were massive instruments that weighed tons and required serious work to construct and months to perform the measurements. Now Prof. Reginald Cahill, an Australian scientist at Flinders University in Adelaide, has brought fiber optics to the field of interferometry and has, with a relatively simple set-up, detected not only variations of the earth's speed with regard to the background of space, but also gravitational waves, a kind of 'turbulence' in space. The instrument made by Cahill's group of physicists is extremely small and light, in sharp contrast with its historical predecessors. It can be constructed for just over 1100 dollars - Cahill's paper provides a parts list - and what's better yet, the instrument can be modified to make three-dimensional measurements by adding another 'arm' at right angles to its current configuration. "By having three mutually orthogonal optical-fiber interferometers it is possible to deduce the vectorial direction of v(r; t), and so determine, in particular, if the pulses have any particular direction, and so a particular source. The simplicity of this device means that an international network of detectors may be easily set up, primarily to test for correlations in the waveforms." The detector has an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio as shown in the above plots, where the detector mode (red plot) shows definite variations, while the neutral mode (blue) only shows instrument noise. It seems that this neat new piece of instrumentation will not only allow research into gravity but may also help resolve the centenary controversy over the existence of an aether, or rather some properties of space that provide a reference frame for physical phenomena. Einstein's relativity that does not allow for such a preferential reference frame may be up for revision.
