You are necessarily presuming an > ether wind exists to conclude there is anisochrony. The ether wind is of no interest if we replace the ether with an anisochronous vacuum. On the other hand, once this is done the equations are then explained very well. Note that the ether implies an absolute space supported by "something": physically and experimentally, this is absurd and all the more absurd since we no longer need all this if we posit a simple universal anisochrony.
