I've just been given some info on Roland De Witte who apparently did a one-way electrical test in 1991 using a similar method proposed here. He found that his results were affected by the Earth's rotation with a period of 23hr 56min - a sidereal day. This is evidence that the maybe a galactic component to the ether flow past the Earth. I don't think the test has been redone! But this is evidence that space is moving past the Earth at a speed greater than its orbit speed of 30km/s.
An article in this week's New Scientist (16Aug03 - page 22) says scientists are still looking for a direction component in spacetime. It could be moving ether or moving space-time. For info on De Witte type into google search - De Witte ether wind.

Wisp,

Here is the link.

Excellent stuff.

Professor Sui Au Lee of the Colorado State University is proposing to carry out a test to measure the speed of light, which I believe will support the proposed one-way light speed test.
I've updated a link to this site on my website, under reasons why Einstein was wrong - Tests pending that I believe will show a variation in the speed of light.

Dayton Miller's ether drift experiments (similar to Michelson-Morley type experiments but more sensitive) provide further proof that the speed of light is affected by ether flow.

A review of his work by James DeMeo shows indisputable evidence that data collected by Miller was affected by the sidereal period and this is clear proof of a cosmological ether drift effect.

Normally any two-way Michelson-Morley type experiments carried out at sea-level would suffer the effect of jiggle dilation, and so cause a null result. But Miller's insight in conducting his tests at altitude (Mt. Wilson - 6,000' elevation) reduced the effect of jiggle by just enough to gain a clear positive result. He attributed the reduced ether drift velocity to an Earth-entrained ether effect, but this is incorrect as the cause is due to jiggle dilation.

Unfortunately for Miller the Einstein media craze pushed ether research into obscurity, and his efforts to prove his work were dismissed without proper scientific review. Even Einstein cruelly dismissed Miller's work, knowing that supporting it would end his special and general relativity theories. Perhaps the media pressure on Einstein was too great, had he acknowledged Miller's positive result, the backlash would have been too much to bear.

Unfortunately, Miller's data provides only evidence of instrumental or other unidentified experimental errors. GPS has 1000 times better precision, and shows without any reasonable qualifications that the speed of light in the ECI frame is the same in all directions in space at all times of day and all seasons of the year to within a precision of no worse than 12 meters per second. Other experimenters set much smaller limits, but have not made such a generous allowance for possible systematic errors.

Modern experiments all agree there is no detectale aether flow within the local gravitational potential field. Gravity clearly entrains aether. -|Tom|-

Quote: But it's obvious from the doppler shift that the speed of light is not constant for all observers, contrary to the ridiculous interpretation of it using SR /Unquote.

One of the main uses of SR is its ability to predict Doppler shift. Whether you accept Einstein's concepts of spacetime to explain this is another matter.

But a Doppler shift derived from ether space can explain Doppler shift equally well, if not better than SR's. With an ether Doppler theory it is possible to allow for both source and observer to be in motion relative to the ether, which gives a truer Doppler picture. If you fix either the source or observer's motion to zero in the ether, then you get Doppler equations that are identical to SR - so SR is a subset of an ether model. An ether model gives a more credible reason for Doppler effect.
