Bradley 's aberration for draconis was 19 seconds of arc.
We would be trying to resolve about 1 in 10^-6 of that, ion order to detect
differences due to c+v..

Arago didn't detect any difference because of the earth's atmosphere.

the rest is typical Einstein propaganda.

the paper admits that the SR and NM analyses differ by only (tan(a) -sin(a)
when x is extremely small.

In other words there is no more support for SR than for NM.

Sometimes I feel like a complete failure.

The 'we' who don't accept that time is universal are the self-deluded SRians.
Why can you not get it into your head that the universe doesn't need observers
with eyes to function.

The idea that a orbit defines an 'absolutely' fixed duration of time is
obviously unacceptible to your faith system.

The 'second' was originally defined as a division of the 'fixed' time duration
of the Earth's rotation.

Since day length varies slightly with the years, a more stable clock has been
devised.
Like the Earth's period, the clock will not vary whenever an observer goes
past.

The duration of the orbit does not depend on the observer.
I am not talking about any measured values. I am going a lot deeper than that.
For this experiment, the orbit duration can be taken as a constant time
reference for both OO and GO.

The orbit has a fixed duration over the whole experiment.
The value of that duration is irrelevant.
All we need to know is that it has the same value before and after clock
launch.

I don't want to be reminded of what relativity is about.
I am telling you why it is wrong.

The orbit requires an interval of time for completion. We don't care what that
interval is....so long as it remains constant.

You just don't get it George.
The orbit is the common time unit.
it's value doesn't depend on who looks at it.

How can it be?
You know as well as I do that the 'real' properties of objects don't change
every time a differently moving observer looks at them.

George, look at it this way. Both obserevrs use the same clock to measure the
time duration of the orbit.
When the clock is on the ground, both observers agree that the orbit takes N
ticks.

When it is in orbit, both observers agree that it takes N+n ticks.

It is pretty bloody obvious that the only thing which has changed is the clock.
The orbit certainly hasn't and nor have the observers.

If you cannot see that, there is no hope for you.

What the hell is a 'spacetime interval'?

I repeat:

time duration of the orbit.
When the clock is on the ground, both observers agree that the orbit takes N
ticks.

When it is in orbit, both observers agree that it takes N+n ticks.

Look at it this way. Both obserevrs use the same clock to measure the time
duration of the orbit.

Because in a first approximation (in general
conversation, wood in considered to be non-
magnetic. Your analogy of "like moving a bar
magnet past a small chip of wood" herefore
implies no effect. If that isn't what you
meant, can you find a better analogy to
illustrate what you are trying to convey?

Yes, that rings alarm bells. It's not clear
to me why but I suspect it is because you have
taken some shortcuts in working only with
changes. I think you need to start by showing
the basic energy and momentum formulae for a
photon of frequency f moving at speed v. The
relativistic formulae do not include speed of
course so I need to se how you take variable
speed into account. It might then cancel out
giving the equations above when you take
differences but I can't check without the base
equations.

It will be interesting to see how you turn the
equations above into the distribution then,
that's the important bit that people seem to
miss when discussing this topic.

Again let me point out that I only queried your

I never suggested it did. The path of a photon
which is "vertical" in the barycentric frame is
"diagonal" to the extent of about 19 arc seconds
in the Earth frame which you seemed to deny in
your earlier posting. I am content to accept it
was just a misunderstanding.

The historical significance as the page says was
for certain types of aether theory as it was hard
for them to reconcile with the MMX.
