To be honest Harald way too much importance has been assigned to TWLS
experiments. Once you really understand the nature of matter the null
result for inertial states is rather obvious. That does not mean that
measuring absolute velocity wrt to the aether is impossible, or, even
difficult. It just means that you have to use OWLS timing like
DeWitte Rolands did. Even simpler is just looking at the natural
aether background noise (the CMBR)

To me, this whole thing is much ado about nothing. But, I tried to
explain why.

Yes that's very obvious. Do you agree with the SRT sketch? I do, on
the assumption that the LT are correct.

If Lorentz was right, then DeWitte could not have measured what he
thought he measured. Scientists are open minded but sceptical. ;-)

Only if you assume that the CMBR corresponds to "the natural aether
background noise". Occam would favour that assumption, but it's just
an assumption.

What whole thing? It appears that most people can't even make an SRT
sketch of a moving M-M interferometer, let alone consider alternative
sketches.

I am unfamiliar with the term 'SRT Schetch'? I am intimately
familiar with how extended 'fields' conform to a form who radii for
its center (r') is

r' = Sqrt(1 - unv'^2)

and

v' = v Cos t

Where t is any angle subtended relative to the line of motion.
Therefore for any given r' the change in r' is simply related directly
to the corresponding change in v.

Thus the radial length (L) when moving for anything consisting of
fields is,

L = L (Sqrt(1 - unv'^2))
o

At angles 90 & 270 relative to the line of motion L = L
o

Therefore, for the round trip at any angle the total path length
remains exactly equal. Thus, since we define speed as distance
traversed divided by time it takes. Thus the measure of speed at any
angle must in turn be equal. The rest of the so-called Lorentz
Transforms are simple trigometric expressions relating transverse
speed to actual speed. This is,

c'^2 = c^2 - v^2 -> c'^2 = c^2(1 - [v/c]^2) -> c'/c = Sqrt(1 -
[v/c]^2)

If the hypotenuse path P is related to the transverse path (L ) by
Sqrt(1 - [v/c]^2) such that,

P = L /Sqrt(1 - [v/c]^2)
o

and if c is constant the the time to traverse distance P for any given
L at any speed v is,

t = t /Sqrt(1 - [v/c]^2)
o

Finally therefore,

L /t = P/t
o o

Thus one can choose any baseline wish by simply declaring that its
initial velocity is to be 'defined' as zero. This process is called
normalizing to the baseline. For example Earth's atmospheric pressure
is defined as 14.7 psi but is also known as 0 psig, or the normalized
base for the gauge system. Doing so however does not make the Earth's
atmosphere dissapear. Likewise, declaring the local velocity to be
zero does not make the aether dissapear. This is evident by the fact
that u (permeability) and n (permittivity) are still present and not
zero. This is why I cast r' in terms of these more fundamental
properties.

In the direction of motion the one-way paths are not symmetrical. You
can 'define' them to be by an appropriate clock synchronization
process but, that won't change the underlying physics. Even with the
'contraction' the time to traverse each way is along the axis of
motion should be (if Lorentz was right),

t' = L/(c - v) and t'' = L/(c + v)

So, as v changes so does t' (the outbound leg) and t'' (the inbound
leg). So, if the source is sending a steady periodic pulse of a known
dt at a given location at some distance L the receiving signal pulse
spacing should vary as the relative speed changes. This is what
DeWitte Rolands was measuring.

The whole 'thing' is the fixation on the TWLS measurements. It is
such an insignificant aspect of the overall physics picure.
