So, let's stop fooling around and be happy.

This is your change to acknowledge that at least a serious and
at least qualitative alternative to relativity exists. If you want
to go down with relativity, then this is your chance also. Choose.

Be happy!

false, entrained ether was only one of the solutions, so MMX
could not "prove" it.

there could also be:
A. physical length contraction in the direction of motion.
B. lenghth expansion perpendicular to motion.
C. source dependent light speed additive.
D. source dependent symmetric 2nd order speed
dependence, faster along the direction of motion or,
E. slower perpendicular to the motion or,
F-Z any combination of the above.

(BTW the correct answer is A)

Disproved by the fact of stellar abberration.

Stellar abberation is inconsistent with entrained aether.

A hundred years ago scientists gave up their long-familiar aether

which explains stellar abberation ?

Which happens to be the shape of the Earth magnetic field.

If they didn't thought of it, then when do i get my Nobel.
I'd like to chare it with Caroline and spaceman if that's ok :-).
"For getting physics back to reality and hashing out a solution for
stellar abberation."

Last chance to turn around and face reality, or harden in your
nonsensical theories that will ultimately be the laughing stock
of historians.

Just acknowledge the simple fact that there is a competetor to
relativity that explains MMX and stellar abberation, and is consistant
with the fact that light is an electro-magnetic wave.

We didn't have the stellar abberation explanation before, so you
still had a marginal reason to honestly be for relativity even though
it was contradictory, because there "was no coherent alternative"
(and you ofcourse wouldn't want to find any alternative, because you
were already "so sure" of relativity.)
But now things have changed again and you didn't knew that before,
so you might want to rethink your opinion. Eventually you will all
get burned on relativity, so make it easy on yourself and hedge your
bets partly to the entrained aether theory, which explains it all
(at least qualitatively). No shame in being wrong, you are it all the
time except on one issue (escape velocity). You see i am still alive
after having made a mistake, its not as hard as you think to admit
you made a mistake.

FYI, this is what the relativists do: "relativity has not been
disproven" and their statements are as bold as it gets (wormholes,
bending space, bending time, relativity of simultaneity, lightspeed
constancy, fourth or more dimensional universe, light speed limit,
mutual timedilation, mutual lengthcontraction etc etc).

And all they have to say for it is "it has not yet been disproven".

Pretty thin isn't it, considdering a very compact replacement theory
is on hand (Earth magnetic-field shaped entrained aether). Notice the
beauty of the argument, how it cuts both ways: that shape explains
stellar abberation, its the shape of the Earth electro magnetic field,
and light is an electro-magnetic wave!. What more can you ask for... ?
Its short, simple, intuitive, non selfcontradictory, and coherent accross
multiple given evidences, a piece of the puzzle that fits on three sides.

Relativists make bold statements because they've found solutions to the
equations, conducted experiments to see whether the universe really does
behave in the way the equations describe and RELATIVITY HAS BEEN PROVEN
EVERY TIME SO FAR.

Why is relativity wrong if it keeps getting the right answer? Don't try to
patronize us with "Einstein was lucky"


>

No. They have said that SR gives the correct predictions to experiments
whuwhich designed to falsify SR.

Like much else in science, SR is provisional. Any theory which takes over
from SR must explain why SR worked for so long and must explain a
phenomena that SR cannot explain. There have been no such phenomena.

It is widely accepted that relativity is non intuitive.
The "Earth local co-moving lightmedium in the shape of a
teardrop pointing away from Earth"-theory however, would
be intuitive.

In a world not infested with political intrigue, things could be quite
different soon.

I just wonder which physicists will plagiarize this anti-relativity
work and try to make a name for himself "using the shoulders of
others". Seems to be a theme in physics doesn't it.

I can see it already:
Kolker: "mister <blabla> did the math, he gets the credit, tough luck."
or
Kolker: "mister <blabla> has worked years on it, way before you were born."
And then maybe some hybrid is created between entrained teardrop aether and
relativity that keeps everybody happy until all relativists have died
out properly.

There is another explanation:
The MMX apparatus is moving vertically. This makes all the horizontal
orientations of the arms to have the same light path length and
thus the null result. Notice that this is the only direction of
motion can explain why the speed of light is isotropic and why
the KTX and MMX gave null result.

An option I don't really see in there, although it might be considered
part of c), is they don't understand the standards of evidence. "I think
it sounds good, and I drew a nice picture, so it must be true." Or what's
called a hand-waving argument. Not even an effort at quantitative
prediction.

Not only does light bend around the Sun, Einstein's theory predicts by how
much it bends and Newton's doesn't. A crackpot wouldn't always even
bother to find the sign of the deflection, much less plot a curve of
deflection versus impact parameter, or show that he actually gets the
right number. Replace "light bend[s] around the Sun" with whatever
phenomenon or theory the crackpot is interested in. They never seem to
move past the part of sitting around in the coffee shop dreaming up a
pretty little picture. They never ask themselves "How can I be sure I'm
right?", only "How can I convince everyone else?"

Because it does not always get the correct answer.
clocks malfunction and relativity allows that malfunction to be
"time changing"

Relativity stepped out of the science of measurement
when it does such.

Time does not change rate.
GR,SR and QM are wrong about such.
and will always be wrong about such simply
because clocks "DO" malfunction and it can not be ignored
like GR,SR and QM and foolish mechanically illiterate dupes
keep doing.

The function of a clock Kills relativity.
and killed it long ago.
only "atomic clock worshippers" still hold it true about all
instead of "wrong about time" like it really is.

I'd like you to think about this.

If one arm is vertical, will its length be affected by the orientation of
the other arm? I will assume you say no.

If one arm is horizontal and perpendicular to the "aether wind", will its
length be shortened? I will assume you say no.

So if all possible configurations of horizontal arms has been tried, some of
them surely had to be perpendicular to the "aether wind". And none of them
showed a positive result. A vertical leg test won't either.

You're talking about different right answers. Titanpoint is talking about
the result of a measurement, you're talking about a metaphysical assertion
of mechanism. The former is something we can investigate, the latter is
your opinion and will never be anything more.

Compare this ego trip with the quote that's in your signature:

"You imagine that I look back on my life's work with calm satisfaction.
But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single
concept of which I am convinced it will stand firm"
-- Albert Einstein on his 70th birthday in a letter to Solvine

Einstein knew that his work was provisional upon scientific testing and
predictive power. He knew that science moves on. Einstein did not overturn
Newton, he explained why Newton's laws worked. Newton's Laws are still
enough to send men to the Moon.

You however have not predicted a single anomalous phenomenon, nor
published a single paper in any recognised journal. You have not explained
why you can't simply write out the mathematical equations and state all
axioms used and all assumptions made. (Hint: ASCII diagrams aren't
mathematics). You have not justified why Einstein's theory has such great
predictive power. You have not explained why Mercury's orbit precesses
(due to the electromagnetic tail of the Earth perhaps?) but Einstein has.
You have not explained why starlight bends in the prescence of a strong
gravitational field. Einstein has. You have not set out any field
equations which predict black holes or the behavior of neutron stars. You
have not explanined why the clocks on probes well away from the Earth's
magnetic tail are still slightly quicker than those on the earth. Einstein
has.

You know what? Einstein didn't need Usenet to promote his image or bother
people with his work. He didn't compare himself favourably to Maxwell or
Newton, Riemann or Lorentz. He simply produced a synthesis of what was
known about phenomena like Maxwell's implication of the invariability of
the speed of light. He then used this synthesis to predict phenomena. When
the observed bending of light was observed by a deeply skeptical
physicist, he let the result speak for itself.

The results of Einstein's equations still predict to high accuracy the
behavior of the decay of the orbits of binary neutron stars by emission of
gravitational waves.

Einstein's work is provisional. In fact, I'm working on an idea that says
that Einstein's equations are incomplete. If I'm right, it doesn't mean
that Einstein was wrong or I am better. I means that I too shall stand on
the shoulders of giants. And I won't need a Usenet group posting to prove
it.

You however want the glory. You don't want to do the work.

Enough.

Relativity is not self-contradictory. You *think* it is because you

You are correct. It will still be null result. However, if you
vary the vertical or hroizontal arm length there will be fringe shift.

There is no ether wind. Objects are moving in a stationary ether.

I have another (very rational in jos' sense) theory : some of the
traditional well known crackpots get into a conspiration and created
a so obviously dumb and stupid anti-relativity troll that it
makes them appear clever, quiet, open-minded and rational.

If I have an arm oriented perpendicular to the direction of motion of the
Earth through the stationary aether, does it shorten? Or does this only
happen for arms directed in the same direction of motion of the Earth?

Perhaps non-intuitive and "wrong" appears as synonyms in JosX's
thesaurus. Much of mathematical theory appears non-intuitive when it
is not understood. Perhaps he's just admitting ignorance.

He certainly betrays it.

Being intuitive, like Newton's absolute space and time, or
phlegistons, or Ptolemy's epicycles, doesn't mean objectively true.

The arm remain the same length in all directions. What is changing
is its light path lemgth and light path length is dependent on the
state of absolute motion of the arm (rod). This means that your
claim of no physical rod length is absurd.

No the arm length remains the same even in the direction of motion
of the earth.

Until you experimentally prove your theory you can't say you have a
valid explanation for stellar aberration - you might have a good theory but
you haven't settled anything.
Based on your diagram it appears you imagine the earth's entrained
aether to be shaped like the earth's magnetic field - pushed out of a
spherical shape by the solar wind. I can't remember exactly how you
explained in in your previous post but you say stellar aberration is caused
by the incoming light from a star changing velocity as it enters the
stretched out aether, and it is this change in velocity that accounts for
the aberration, correct? Now, if the solar wind blows the earth's entrained
aether out of the shape of a sphere, that introduces asymmetry, as shown
clearly in you diagram. If the entrained aether is asymmetric then shouldn't
the amount of aberration measured vary depending on the orientation of the
earth-sun-observed star. Wouldn't a star show more aberration when observed
when opposite the sun - the light has the thicker 'tail' of aether to go
through - then if it was only say at a right angle to the earth-sun line?
Does that make sense? Has it been measured?

So you figure that e-m radiation only propagates in the vicinity
of earth, and all those stars are optical illusions.

Or are you saying the geomagnetic field is constant out to

There he is, alone and happy in his Joseverse, where the laws of reality
are unreal indeed.

A nice one:

For the title I allow one guess.

On perpendicularity and verticality, we also have:

and many many many more.

Yes. This is the only direction of absolute motion that will
explain the isotropy of the speed of light in all horizontal
directions and the MMX and KTX null result. I know that it is
countertuitive but it is the only answer available that
does not require the more counterintuitive length contraction
explanation.

Why can't you see that? The light path length from each arm is
a slant path to the center mirror that re-combines them. This slant path
is constant in all the horizontal orientations of the arms.

Why not? There is only one absolute motion.
