But it is not, even if the effect shows. There is two experiments then. One observer has L and L, you have L and contracted L, that implies something, but you still have two observers and the only thing you can prove at all is the relativity effect. Results can't be interpreted differently in this case. This is the same result Michelson and Morley has received. | |

If so then the MA experiment results could be interpreted differently. I am not trying to prove the aether exists. | |
