Ah, but this is fun: I skipped all the way to the fateful eq (129).
Well , you obtained the same eq as Shamir for :Galilean derivation".
You ARE saying it yourself:

".....for the orthogonal arm, if we ASSUME Galilean relativity...."

So yes, you obtain the same result as the one Shamir used in order to
JUSIFY his experiment. In other words, Galilean relativity would
predict a fring shift.
If you are comptent enough to write the relativistic equation for the
orthogonal arm you will get a ...ZERO fringe shift. And into the
wastebasket goes your grandiose paper.

Or rather "he has now quoted eight experiments as supporting his
position."

Since opinions about this differ.

Reg,

Get a redducated in relativity. You used to know it once (before
Alzheimer set in). It is embarassing to base your papers on Galilean
velocity addition, this is why you are relegated to fringe journals.

I believe he has said that it is Lorentzian rather than Special
Relativity that is correct.

However I don't think Cahill "ignores" what theory is telling him. I
was just looking at:

Deriving the Relativity Formalism: Understanding its Successes and
Failures
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0611002

The last half of the abstract says:

"From the generalised Dirac equation we show that the spacetime
formalism is derivable, but as merely a mathematical construct whose
geodesics arise from the trajectories of quantum wavepackets in the
3-space. However the metric of this spacetime is shown not to satisfy
the Hilbert-Einstein equations, except in the special case of the
Schwarzschild metric. Hence we demonstrate that the successes of the
General Relativity formalism have been more illusory than real, that
its successes are in fact quite limited, which explains why it failed
to account for the bore hole anomaly, the so-called �dark matter�
spiral galaxy rotation anomaly, the systematics of black
hole masses and so on. It also failed in that the dynamics of the
3-space is determined by two fundamental constants, namely G and the
fine structure constant alpha."

I guess derivation of the "dynamics of the 3-space" would also
theoretically justify Lorentzian Relativity.

Reg, my weasel

Don't try to weasel out of this one, the discussion is about you
botched "detection of absolute motion" where you "forgot" to use the
proper equations of light speed in a refractive moving medium,
remember. Trying a cheap diversion will not work.
If you want to discuss the cheap shot at GR, we could do it later,
right now stay on the subject, your fuckup of the MMX experiment. The
one that no decent journal picked up, remember?
