Roberts Roberts nobody would find your site useful, not even your
criminal brothers - silly zombies like you are unable to expain
anything. Just compare the following texts:

Silly zombie Tom Roberts: "The Michelson-Morley experiment (MMX) was
intended to measure the velocity of the Earth relative to the
"lumeniferous æther" which was at the time presumed to carry
electromagnetic phenomena. The failure of it and the other early
experiments to actually observe the Earth's motion through the æther
became significant in promoting the acceptance of Einstein's theory of
Special Relativity, as it was appreciated from early on that
Einstein's approach (via symmetry) was more elegant and parsimonious
of assumptions than were other approaches (e.g. those of Maxwell,
Hertz, Stokes, Fresnel, Lorentz, Ritz, and Abraham)."

Clever Einsteinian John Norton: "Einstein regarded the Michelson-
Morley experiment as evidence for the principle of relativity, whereas
later writers almost universally use it as support for the light
postulate of special relativity......THE MICHELSON-MORLEY EXPERIMENT
IS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH AN EMISSION THEORY OF LIGHT THAT CONTRADICTS
THE LIGHT POSTULATE."
