"sound particles" are known as "phonons," but this is clearly a
"quantization"
of sound that is not striclty analagous to the usual one
that is applied to the photoelectrical dffect -- the only aspect
of light that might seem corpuscular -- and it does not have to,
at all.

thus:
what a crock; there is *nothing* about light (or,
one simple thing) that is pertinent to a corpuscular theory;
Young et al completely rid us of that theory,
which also had that denser media had faster light).

maybe it is an unconsidered acceptance that "quantum" means
"particle,"

there are no photons, there are no Rocks of Light.

That is blatantly incorrect. The MMX was not the basis for SR. It is one
of many experiments that is consistent with SR predictions. There are many
such experiments. A quick search for experimental evidence for SR will
reveal list and details of a multitude of such experiments.

A nice little analogy, when understood

Again, that is an outright lie. That analogy is NOT the sole basis for
analysis of MMX. It was simply one chosen in the particular quoted text to
help students understand

Taking analogies too far often leads to errors. Few analogies are perfect.

Yes. The floats correspond to the MMX apparatus in the laboratory, fixed on
earth which is (according to the aether theory of the time) in a stream of
flowing aether (due to earths motion wrt the aether)

Hence the test .. if the values predicted by having the earth in a stream of
flowing aether are found, then that would support that theory. If not, they
would refute it. That no such result was found refuted the theory where the
earth is in motion wrt the aether.

It is a good analogy of what was thought to be the case at the time.

No .. the river is the aether

No .. the river bank is the earth and laboratory apparatus

Remainder of argument is moot due to your total misunderstanding of the
analogy.

After tuning microwave antennas for year after year, I lost all faith
in photons, mate!

Photons do not require your faith. Nor anyones faith.

BTW: Are you going to correct your article that has completely
incorrect opposite interpretation of the river/bank analogy of MMX?

Relativity-belief requries not just faith, but folly or crminality.

Are you all going to correct all your lying text books, research
papers that are continuing with the preposterous lies that I have
exposed in
http://adda-enterprises.com/MMInt/MMInt.htm

Once that is done, the rubbish of einstein disposed of that is, we can
get to the REAL physics based upon my discovery of the true
relationship between mass and energy.
