From: Archimedes Plutonium on
Come to think of it, the Michelson interferometer was used to try to
detect the lumiferous aether wind, for the medium of light to travel
in. It was sensitive enough to use the motion
of Earth. Thus it is sensitive enough to see if there is a Doppler
redshift of Sun to Earth or
a blueshift of Sun to Earth. Call it a refurbished Michelson
Interferometer.

I have some facts in favor of the case I am arguing for. The case
being that no Doppler
shift can exist on lightwaves because it would violate the Special
Relativity principle.
The fact is that noone on Earth has ever witnessed a Doppler blueshift
or redshift on
anything within our Solar System or here on Earth. The only reported
blueshift and
redshift Dopplers are those reported by astronomers of faraway astro
bodies.

For sound waves and Doppler shift is commonplace everyday experience,
especially for
those who live near a train railroad track.

But ask yourself, the reader, ask yourself when if ever you
experienced a Doppler Effect
on light, as common as a Doppler Effect on sound waves? The answer to
that is that noone
here on Earth has ever experienced a light Doppler shift. Only the
reports of astronomers
who claim they found a Doppler shift of faraway astro bodies. So do we
take their word for
it? That they are seeing a Doppler effect, when never any such effect
exists here on Earth?

So I think the Michelson Interferometer, since it is so accurate in
measuring small effects
involving lightwaves can be refurbished to measure whether the Sun
lightrays are ever
Doppler shifted. My hunch is that the Interferometer will report a
nonexistant Doppler
Effect, just as it reported a nonexistant lumiferous aether.

And one has to wonder why noone raised doubt and concern about never
seeing any
commonplace Doppler shifting of light here on Earth. Surely, if the
Doppler Effect
exists on lightwaves, that the lightning bolts and flashes in
thunderstorms should be
a commonplace observation, but in fact, never any commonplace Doppler
Effect
on light has ever been reported.

Now, correct me if wrong, but I think the reported data by Michelson &
Morley
are the data that would also include the Doppler Effect if any
existed. So that
Michelson report of the late 1800s that no detection of the aether,
can also be
said to have reported that the Doppler shift of light is also
nonexistant. So that
we can take the data and facts of the original Michelson Experiment
and conclude
the nonexistence of the Doppler Effect on lightwaves. Correct me if I
am wrong on
that assessement.
