Bravo Moortel! 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."
