I think if they had produced a non-null result we would be all hearing about
it.

So it looks like it produced a null result and actually now flips the other
way to now provide yet more evidence confirming the EEP.

I don't know why you even bought it up. Never said it was.

The aether is still very much a work in progress.

Nobody has yet pinned it down.

A media such as the Aether would not have the physical properties to even
begin to propagate a transversal wave.

It would only be physically capable of propagating a longitudinal wave. This
would now make a lot of sense when we consider how the likes of a television
antenna is actually constructed.

Yes, and the clock would remain unchanged. The wave length and amplitude
would increase as the metric they depend expands.

Yeah. Pre-ordained to go to sleep after the cheque has cleared. (-:

I said curvature. A gyroscope in obit will not change the orientation of its
axis to prove that space is curved. It will remain fixed at what ever it is
pointed at. So the question begging to be answered is what is actually
bending?

And as far as the frame dragging is concerned I will wait until all side
have had their chance to speak. I will be patient.

It is only space taken over time to account for the geodesic. Space is not
at all curved in the slightest physical sense to speak of. But the whole
metric is under a state of constant acceleration, and to take into account
this state of motion it is rather important to be specific and call it
spacetime.

OTOH there is much standing for it that refuses to be swept aside no matter
how hard so many people try.

The equivalence principle no matter how hard you knock it... is not going
anywhere. As a matter of personal speculation, I think the remaining
paradigm could very well shift, that is all merger to be absorbed into a
single metric base theory well before the EP collapses.

So each to his own and crossing fingers it's resolved in our life time.
