The Pan Am flights are flying in both directions against the aether
which is entrained by the Earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment

"If the Earth is traveling through an ether medium, a beam reflecting
back and forth parallel to the flow of ether would take longer than a
beam reflecting perpendicular to the ether because the time gained
from traveling downwind is less than that lost traveling upwind."

When the atomic clock on the Pan Am flight east to west it is flying
against the entrained aether and when it is flying west to east it is
flying with the entrained aether. The downwind and upwind effect is
going to be greater when flying against the entrained aether.

This means the effects of aether, even though being displaced by the
plane, must still be going through the plane. The reason momentum can
be conserved even with aether flowing through matter is the same as
the reason momentum is conserved by the Earth. Matter displaces the
aether. The displaced aether pushes back. The interaction of a moving
object with the aether is frictionless, or the friction is negligible.
This occurs for the nuclei of atoms just as it does for the Earth
itself.

You're saying Einstein's train gedanken performed in water at rest
with respect to the embankment, the light from the lightning strike at
A/A' and B/B' travels from A' and B' to M'?

Incorrect. Einstein's train gedanken performed in water at rest with
respect to the embankment, the light travels from A and B to M'

'Einstein on Fizeau's Experiment"'
http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~suchii/EonFizeau.html

"In accordance with the principle of relativity we shall certainly
have to take for granted that the propagation of light always takes
place with the same velocity w with respect to the liquid, whether the
latter is in motion with reference to other bodies or not."

Where in the article you posted does it specifically refute the
conclusion the light travels from A and B to M' when the water is at
rest with respect to the embankment?

The Pan Am flights are flying in both directions through the aether
which is entrained by the Earth. The flight flying east to west is
flying against the entrained aether and the flight flying west to east
is flying with the entrained aether, but both flights are flying
through the aether.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment

"If the Earth is traveling through an ether medium, a beam reflecting
back and forth parallel to the flow of ether would take longer than a
beam reflecting perpendicular to the ether because the time gained
from traveling downwind is less than that lost traveling upwind."

When the atomic clock on the Pan Am flight east to west it is flying
against the entrained aether and when it is flying west to east it is
flying with the entrained aether. The downwind and upwind effect is
going to have a greater effect on the atom's oscillations when flying
against the entrained aether.

This means the effects of aether, even though being displaced by the
plane, must still be going through the plane. The reason momentum can
be conserved even with aether flowing through matter is the same as
the reason momentum is conserved by the Earth. Matter displaces the
aether. The displaced aether pushes back. The interaction of a moving
object with the aether is frictionless, or the friction is negligible.

What I'm saying is: there has never been a prediction of special
relativity that's been contradicted by an observation. The same
hold true for general relativity. I think you should go back to
the Mechanical Universe video... and note that they get it right!

The Mechanical Universe series.

42. The Lorentz Transformation
If the speed of light is to be the same for all observers, then
the length of a meter stick, or the rate of a ticking clock,
depends on who measures it.
