Dear Pentcho:  Wake up, fellow!  Haven't you heard?  I've discovered
that M-M doesn't have a CONTROL.  Lorentz-FitzGerald is a ridiculous
"contraction" explanation for the null results, that would--if it could--
only explain 180 degrees of the apparatus rotation.  But light speeds
up and slows down in direct proportion to the velocity of the emitting
source.  Such logical assumption was never tested because all of...
"the players" were biased, going in, that 'c' was the maximum
velocity.  That bias was the supreme violation of the SCIENTIFIC
METHOD, that takes NOTHING for granted.
     Stop living in your own vacuum.  Please join in the discussion on
my various posts.  You have a lot to offer, if you would just realize
that... the forest you keep living in has been burned down.  --
