The canonical version about aether wind below. Remember, we're talking about an axiom that the speed of light in vacuum is independent of the reference frame:
Maurizio Consoli of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics in Catania, Sicily, argues in Physics Letters A (vol 333, p 355) that any Michelson-Morley type of experiment carried out in a vacuum will show no difference in the speed of light even if there is an aether. According to him, electroweak theory and quantum field theory suggest that light could appear to move at different speeds in different directions in a medium such as a dense gas in contradiction with special relativity; the speed of light would be sensitive to motion relative to an aether and the refractive index of the medium. Consoli and Evelina Costanzo propose an experiment with laser light passing through cavities filled with a relatively dense gas. With the Earth passing through an aether wind, light would travel faster in one direction than in the perpendicular direction..... Consoli and Constanzo have not run the proposed experiment. The mathematical treatment of their paper does not use the relativistic dragging coefficient to account for the speed of light in a moving medium, and most physicists regard this as an elementary error that leads to their incorrect conclusions. Their paper is very similar to another similarly flawed paper by Reg Cahill ("R.T. Cahill A New Light-Speed Anisotropy Experiment: Absolute Motion and Gravitational Waves Detected, in Progress in Physics, vol 4 , 2006" ), another proponent of an experiment that would detect the elusive "preferential frame". Cahill claims to have detected absolute motion with respect to a preferential frame but his paper suffers from the same mathematical shortcomings as the Consoli-Constanzo paper as well as from lack of experimental error bars in his experimental data processing. Consequently, their research had no impact on the physics community.
Prof Reg Cahill duz include aether drag & refractive index in his historic explanation of the correct calibration of oldendays gas-mode MMXs in about 2001.
His re-calibration lifted the 1887 "null" aetherwind speed of about 7 km/s to over 200 km/s. Silly Michelson was looking for 30 km/s.
And then i came along & in about 2017 explained that Cahill was wrong. He (& Fizeau & Co) talked of aether drag, when the correct term & mechanism is simple photon drag (a minor error which duznt change the numbers).
Michelson & Morley & Miller got a systematic signal, periodic in a half turn, which was consistent with aetherwind, ie consistent with Earth's spin & orbit through a (supposedly) static (supposed) luminiferous aether.
U say that the MMXs (& Cahill's own experiments) had too much error. No.
U say that Cahill had the same math shortcomings as Consoli & Constanzo. No.
U said that C&C said that vacuum mode MMXs will show no difference in the speed of light. Yes. C&C are correct. A vacuum mode MMX is merely an experiment that is a good test of relativistic length contraction, ie a null result supports the standard equation for (the Lorentz) gamma. But in reality it karnt falsify any other gammas (if they exist) that are based on say width dilation (eg the Voigt relativity gamma), or are based on a mix of length contraction & width dilation etc.
But i must have a look at the C&C paper. What year was it? Cahill was about 2001, did C&C have priority/precedence over Cahill?
In any case, VV Demjanov made a twin-media interferometer in 1968-72,
which used a laser & a dense gas (carbon bisulphide), & his X was 1000 times as sensitive as the oldendays klumzy klunky air-mode MMXs. Demjanov found an aetherwind of 140 km/s to 480 km/s on 22 June at Obninsk. His error bars were less than 1 km/s. He published in English in about 2005.
An aetherwind means that we have an aether.
An aether gives us a preferred frame.
A preferred frame kills STR (& thusly kills GTR too).
And kills Purcell's silly relativistic pseudo magnetic field.
Game over, thank u ball boys & ball girls.
