MH,

Indeed the fundamentals, and it boggles the mind. 

No need to scratch your head over that plot...read what I posted there. I'll post a similar "impedance" plot if you like from the ideal VDC? (but I'd rather not) LOL.

"Skim" mode is probably a wise decision. I think I'm about to enter that as well, and focus on my videos. Apparently no one is seeing my posts anyway...hahahaha.

Hi tagor and DonL-

tagor - I went through that link.  Really interesting.  I think there's a proposal that because GR is not reconcilable that it thereby negates SR?  I simply am not qualified to comment.  But I would suggest that if special relativity at least works for some applications then that's also, at least something.  But it does mean that the final 'reconciliation' is still begging answers.  Not even the string theorists have got the answer because they need something that finds matter invisible.  At the moment they're looking at a 'big black paricle'.  Cannot understand how any such could ever move through matter with the ease required.  But - again - I'm not qualified to comment.

Personally I'm still inclined to think that the solution is 'classical' - requires a velocity constant - but that it can yet exceed light speed.  So.  I think Einstein shot himself in the foot when he proposed that nothing could exceed light speed.  But I stress that it's only my opinion.  And let me add.  Again.  I'm not qualified to comment.

MileHigh - I went over and over that video on the von Grusenick experiment - modified Michelson-Morley interferometer number.  I can't find the fault.  What IS wrong with it?  I give up.  To me it seems like he has proven that oribiting the apparatus at a vertical plane he gets proof of something like 11 to 11.5 changes? twice through an angle of 360 degrees. 

I am not sure if he is picking up magnetic fields because there's a clear correspondence here?  Is that your point?  But there are those of us who argue that magnetic fields and aether are one and the same.

Rosemary:

The problem is that he has the support arms for the setup bolted directly to the slab of aluminum that is his mini optical table.  When the setup rotates horizontally, this is a direction that is orthogonal to the gravity field and therefore the setup is stable and the stresses on it due to gravity are constant and unchanging.  When the setup rotates vertically, now the setup is experiencing constantly changing mechanical stresses because the gravity field is in constant motion relative to the device itself.  For example, the two long metal struts will experience alternating longitudinal compression and tension as the device makes one full turn.

All of these stresses are making the mini optical table deform like a piece of rubber as the device rotates vertically.  What's been bolted down to the mini optical table?  An interferometer that can measure distance changes that are a fraction of a wavelength of light.

Feel free to copy/paste this into the thread on EF started by Aaron about this subject.

The "craziness" is this man bolting the metal struts to the optical table itself, instead of bolting the struts to some sort of base, and then mounting the optical table to the base via Styrofoam or something in order to stop any deformation of the base being coupled to the optical table.  On top of that, I still am not sure if that would be perfect.  He may need to use a piece of real optical table material for this sensitive experiment - a honeycombed aluminum structure that is super rigid and very light that would be guaranteed to deform much much less than a single wavelength of light as it rotated through the gravity field.

These kinds of glaring errors freak me out sometimes.  They are so outrageous that they turn the experimenter into a peddler of junk science.  It all goes back to the qualification process.  If this guy could make such a humongous and stupid mistake, then he is either a con artist, or you should discount everything that he states because he has absolutely zero credibility.

How come seemingly "nobody" saw this?
