No other bellicose zombie can glorify Master Tom Roberts so efficiently: http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/21a8122a2f8e1d44? However there is a problem. In his explanation of the Michelson-Morley experiment Master Tom Roberts has camouflaged something: http://www.edu-observatory.org/physics-faq/Relativity/SR/experiments.html Master 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)." Now bellicose zombies (you, Paul Andersen, Jeckyl, Dono, Gisse) should study the relativistic literature and discover what Master Tom Roberts has camouflaged. I suggest you study first Master John Norton's revelation: http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001743/02/Norton.pdf 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."
