Michelson and Morley try to measure wave activity with their interferometer.
It can be said that all of modern materialistic science rests on two theories.
- The theory of gravity being a property of mass
- The theory that the aether doesn't exist.
The vaunted theory of relativity had to be thought up just to, and only to, explain the discrepancies that these two theories cause.
So, what happens to modern materialistic science if these two theories are wrong?
The theory of gravity was penned by Newton, and supposedly proved with experiment by Cavendish. Unfortunately Cavendish was insanely rich, and insane. It is said that he had giant gold balls. You need giant spheres to perform the experiment, which he did in a barn, and supposedly measured with a telescope.
Unfortunately, no one has ever repeated his experiments. Further, the electric universe model completely debunks the entire theory. So, well, that kinda puts a crimp in modern science.
Then comes the most poorly conducted experiment ever in the history of science.
The Michelson-Morley experiment.
The list of failures of this experiment is long, some of them i will list here. (why isn't this list in every science book?)
- Michelson-Morley found something and called it nothing. Really, they found a phase shift, but it wasn't as much as they thought, and so concluded that it must be measurement error.
- Michelson-Morely did the bare minimum number of repeated observations to be called an experiment.
- Michelson-Morely experiment, if it was accurate, only disproves a tenth of the aether theories. There are many theories that are quite valid, even if the experiment was done correctly.
There are many theories about the aether that the M-M experiment wouldn't show. Such as:
- What if we were on a stationary planet?
- What if the direction of aether was straight down. Several theories have the aether movement as what holds us down on earth.
- What if the local aether doesn't move? Boundary layers exist in all of the physics we study. Such as, the layer of air molecules surrounding the car doesn't move, even as the car is flying down the road. So, the aether around the planet doesn't move as the earth moves about in space.
- What if aether movement does not affect the movement of light?
Further, later experiments showed different measurements at different elevations and at different times of the day. Some of the most important information to help us really understand the world we live in... swept under the rug to maintain our precious modern materialistic science.
“Only the existence of a field of force can account for the motions of the bodies as observed, and its assumption dispenses with space curvature. All literature on this subject is futile and destined to oblivion. So are all attempts to explain the workings of the universe without recognizing the existence of the ether and the indispensable function it plays in the phenomena. My second discovery was of a physical truth of the greatest importance. As I have searched the entire scientific records in more than a half dozen languages for a long time without finding the least anticipation, I consider myself the original discoverer of this truth, which can be expressed by the statement: There is no energy in matter other than that received from the environment.” – Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla believed that the aether had to exist, and by utilizing it, he was able to perform great feats of electricity. Many performed in front of crowds of newspaper reporters, and not duplicated to this day.
The reason they are not duplicated is that modern materialistic science excludes the study of the principals and foundations within which the energy flowed. The aether. Or, as Russians describe it, the physical vacuum.
Modern materialistic science can't even explain magnetism without having to contrive special, magical, "unicorn particles".
Their theories should be relegated to where they belong. Door stops and dust bins.
