MMX is a worthless experiment for learning about nature. It's zero doesn't tell us anything much. In the decades following it a great many theories were advanced to 'explain' it. Michelson himself for example thought that he had proved complete aether dragging by the Earth. Until Einstein 1905 put matters right of course, and after that it had become a triviality, not worth mentioning, because the answer is inmediately obvious, Jan
