Arindam, It is obvious to me that when the markers flow with the
river, the analogy with INDEPENDENT movements of Earth and light thru
a possible (imaginary?) aether medium is destroyed. This modification
(free floating markers) assumes that the speed of light thru the
aether is DEPENDENT on the speed of the Earth thru the aether. This
difference is not resolved by the null result of the MMX. You need
to provide exceptionally strong evidence to demonstrate that
Einstein's theory is incorrect.
Jai and Artful know what they are talking about. Take notes!

This idea interests me. I am clear on how one uses various microphones
to test arrival time of sound. What is less clear is a good way of
having a controlled, in-motion emitter.

I have two thoughts:

1) Put a speaker on a small vehicle on a track. This would provide
linear speed but seems hard to control.
2) Put a speaker on the end of an arm that is rotating. Have the
speaker emit a pulse when the arm is 90 degrees to the angle
to the mics. This is not a linear path, but maybe it doesn't matter.
It also has the advantage that you could compare the time
difference of arrival at the two mics when the speaker emits
at any point on its circular trajectory.

Anyone care to comment. It seems like a fun science project.

Small vehicle = steam engine.

Oh... by the way, to those on the train the platform was moving,
but nobody blew their own trumpet.
Professor Doppler did, and had a musician on the train tell him
what note he heard.
What he found was
f' = f * c/(c+v) for those on the platform and
f' = f * (c+v)/c for those on the train.

If the wind had been blowing at 75 mph along with the train
he would have found those two equations were reversed.
That was a fun science project.







From: spudnik on
niether Einstein nor textbooks were perfect, but
he seems to beleive that the M&M experiment was not about
the relative interferometry between opposite directions
of Earth's orbit -- and it was not a "null," and
taht was refined by others, after (see Cahill's God-am graph).

oh, yes; hte anomalies were very small, and what wouold you make
of that?

gun & bullet is not at aall like emitter & wave,
both attached to the moving vehicele;
show the difference(s).

thus:
the photographic record that I saw,
in some rather eclectic compendium of Einsteinmania,
seemed to show quite an effect, I must say;
not that the usual interpretation is correct, though.
