The MMX did not detect absolute motion. You really need to drop that if you

Which explains all those observations in solid media, and gasses where
temperature control was properly confirmed.

Oh wait...

Sorry, Ken, what I've told you is a basic fact. There are certain
quality criteria for an experimental proposal, expected of ANYONE.
Pouting and sulking that it is expected of you too won't accomplish
anything. You're not being persecuted if all that's expected is that
you do the same as anyone else.

When speed is created there is detectability of weight.

Yes, I read that in your paper. It might be a valid argument -- if the
Earth were the *only* source of gravity in the entire Universe. But as
it turns out, we live in a Universe with many other big, powerful, and
local gravity sources, such as the Sun and the Moon. If these two
objects are big enough to raise tides on the Earth, then I am sure
they can cause "the needles" to go off in an MMX (metaphorical, no
real needles are used).

When the Sun or the Moon are on the horizon of these various modern
MMX apparatus, then their gravity is aligned with the arms of these
experiments. During this time, all sorts of shifts should be seen.

Uh, you do realize that that's not how the MM experiments work, right?
The laser doesn't ever shift its position, like some vibration meter.
All they're looking for is a change in the interference patterns
between the lights coming from the two arms of the experiment.
