A completion to my earlier post
A prejudice My interpretation of MMX includes a very small motion in transverse direction that can fool some people to regard the idea impossible. However, assuming the ether entrained by the Sun means that we must give the same capacity to the Earth. So, ether wind is only 10^-6 due to rotating Earth, in horizontal direction. […]

A hidden assumption In MMX a swimmer is used in an analogy. It is assumed (in error) that a swimmer compensates for the motion of the water and thereby minimizes the length of his motion. A smart swimmer does not do so. Instead he minimizes the time in the water, not the length of his trip. So, […]

My earlier post The ray and the beam got no interest, and no comments, so, I try again, since I regard this as a very important issue. Coherent systems In a coherent system we can detect orientation of a wave front by a telescope. In a telescope we use reflecting or refracting surfaces to transform a plane […]
