Dear Ian:  Who says a gyroscope is an apt experiment?  Have you ever
heard of cavitation?  When a boat's propeller spins fast enough, the
water just "shears" and the propulsion stops.  The ether is perfectly
happy to shear, too.  If you want to "feel" ether for yourself, get on
a jetliner and wait till the plane is at cruising speed.  Then walk
forward to the toilet.  You will feel like you are walking up hill,
because the ether is coming through the skin of the plane and hitting
your body.  Going back to your seat, you seem to be walking down
hill.  Pseudo scientists are much too prone to hid behind the results
of experiments which were invalid... like M-M.  — NoEinstein —
