Hmm, well @franklinhu I have some exceptions to take here and the first and foremost issue is the attack on Michelson-Morley and the much more robust experimentation of Dayton Miller. There unequivocally was never a null result... The misrepresentation of these results and the later much more clear ones obliterated all confidence on anyone who used these in an anti-ether approach.
See this excellent research: Important Book: The Dynamic Ether of Cosmic Space: Correcting a Major Error in Modern Science
We'll just start the conversation from there vs going down this rabbit hole too far.
