Correct, MMX was not a null result. However, the results were not what
M&M expected for an absolutely stationary space. The result did not
support an absolutely stationary space.

The non-null result is more supportive of aether entrainment.

That's because they didn't have the right experiment....they failed to
realize that on earth the direction of absolute motion is in the
vertical direction. This is supported by the Pound and Rebka
experiment. I have designed new experiments to detect absolute motion
in the following link:

It has experimental support....the Pound and Rebka experiments show
that the speed of light is not c vertically and that the speed of
light is isotropic horizontally.

The speed of light is a constant math ratio in all inertial frames as
follows:
Assumed light path length of the observer's ruler is its physical
length of 299,792,458 meters long/over the the absolute time content
for one of observer's clock second.

The Pound and Rebka did not find the speed of light to change. They
found a gravitational redshift.

This thread is titled 'Simultaneity of Relativity' for a reason. The
aether is stationary relative to the embankment and the aether is
stationary relative to the train. If A/A' are not co-located and B/B'
are not co-located and lightning strikes occur simultaneously at A and
A' and at B and B', then if the light from A and B reaches M
simultaneously, the light from A' and B' reaches M' simultaneously:

If A/A' are co-located and B/B' are co-located then the light waves
travel to M and M' at 'c' relative to the aether.
