Moortel Moortel you are so good at glorifying Master Tom Roberts:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/browse_frm/thread/21a8122a2f8e1d44?

However some of Master Tom Roberts' discoveries are quite idiotic:

http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/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 aether" 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 aether
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)."

Perhaps Moortel Moortel you should redirect your sycophancy: from now
on you should glorify Master John Norton who is much cleverer than
Master Tom Roberts (compared to Master John Norton, Master Tom Roberts
is just a silly zombie):

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00001743/02/Norton.pdf Master
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."
