I saw a photon, you pointed it out to me. I was hoping
you could point out an aether.

I think most readers expected the experiments by Dawkins and Luiten to
prove Cahill wrong.

From:
http://www.aipc2006.com/abstract/470.htm

"We note also that this experiment provides a rigorous test of the controversial claims of Cahill"

But your announcement suggests that they not only failed to prove
Cahill wrong, but may be on the way to proving him correct.

Is Cahill like the other folks on this newsgroup with a pet theory, in
that he has an agenda and he is going to advance it? It seems like he
is doing his experiments with the "knowledge" of what the outcome will
be.

Where does his attitude come from?

Did he have some past success that gave him his attitude? Does he have
an education? Did his education ever cover experimental physics?

Why does Cahill and crew think they are exempt from error analysis?

At any rate, I'm noticing a certain pattern: Everything supports the
theory!

Doing something as simple as 'questioning' the data by performing an
error analysis would be like admitting it is possible that he is wrong.
