This is crap. The MMX was a beautifully designed and performed experiment that
had nothing whatsoever to do with measuring the speed of light.
Its sole intention was to measure the speed of the earth through the then
assumed absolute aether.
Its results appeared to prove the nonexistence of the latter...but Lorentz and
Fitzgerald got around that by suggesting that mass and time contracted on
objects that were moving wrt the absolute aether. It was virtually impossible
to disprove this theory.

Ballistic theory explains the null result simply by stating that light moves at
c wrt its source and everything at rest in the source frame. So all light moves
around the MMX apparatus at the same speed c (wrt all components), irrespective
of its orientation.
Einstein fluked the same result, by claiming that light moves at c in any
frame....and of course everything in the MMX IS at rest in the same frame.

You, unfortunately, lack both control and brains....
