Existence of Preferred Frame: 2nd Australian Experiment confirms Cahill

From: mountain man on 13 Dec 2006 04:17 SECOND AUSTRALIAN EXPERIMENT CONFIRMS THE EXISTENCE OF A PREFERRED (spatial) FRAME Cahill has claimed that Michelson interferometers can only detect absolute motion if there is gas in the light path. So far 5 such gas-mode experiments have been identified, including in particular Michelson and Morley, and Miller. As well the results from these have been confirmed by the totally different coaxial cable technique (3 experiments). In recent years there have been a number (5?) of modern versions of the Michelson interferometer experiment. This uses two orthogonal resonant Fabry-Perot cavities. Rather than detecting interference fringes as the device is rotated these experiments detect changes in the beat frequency of the resonant frequencies of the two cavities as the device is rotated. Essentially Cahill's theory also applies to these devices. His theory predicts that these experiments will detect no evidence of absolute motion as they suffer from the same design flaw of all Michelson vacuum-mode interferometers - because of an exact cancellation between the path length changes and the relativistic length contraction effect for the arms. Despite the design flaw in these vacuum cavity experiments, which are thus dud experiments, their non-response is claimed to prove the anisotropy of the speed of light. However a major development has occurred - two physicists (Dawkins and Luiten) at the University of Western Australia reported last week at a physics conference in Brisbane Australia that when gas (nitrogen at 10 torr) was placed in one of the cavities they detected a preferred frame, as Cahill predicted. They only had two days of data for presentation to the conference, but that data clearly detected the rotation of the earth with respect to a preferred frame by means of a clean sinusoidal shift in the beat frequency with a 24 hour period. Soon they will have a speed and direction of absolute motion after further refining the experiment. If this initial report is confirmed we would now have 9 successful absolute motion experiments.

Cahill's theory suffers the same flaws as Einstein's where matter and space are interchanged with inadaquate rigour.
