Schrodinger Aether vs Michelson-Morley

Saying that you can have spooky action at a distance but that it just
can't communicate, is like claiming that we can time travel to the
distant past but just can't do anything to alter the future. In other
words, it doesn't sound plausible or rational.

One can reasonably conclude that such speculations are based on
abstract book-keeping terms that have no tangible meaning,
significance, or use, and whose existence are thus inherently
misleading. Being "correlated to randomness" is a meaningless phrase
which has no practical weight at all. "Action that does not
communicate" is also a meaningless idea. These notions are arising from
the flawed premise of quantum indeterminacy. The contrived solution of
"probability function" then forces the further contrived notion of
"spooky action at a distance" which according to the calcite paper can
then force the notion of "non-locality", etc, etc, error building upon
error, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

Quantum indeterminacy of the photon should therefore not be
real/absolute but only *apparent*. The wave-particle duality idea
should be scrapped, and we should simply see the discrete quantum
particle as only having wave behavior imparted to it by the much much
finer sub-planck scale of the quantum vacuum.

We need to then visualize things more easily using analogies like
Brownian Motion. Like the speck of dust jiggling in the water drop
because the unseen water molecules are battering it, we need to see the
photons and other small particles in the same way. Their apparent
indeterminacy is only due to the constant perturbation from the
surrounding medium.

I was reading up on Michelson-Morley, trying to see why its conclusions
totally oppose and contradict what I've just stated above. I wonder if
there may be flaws in the Michelson-Morley model which are alluded to
in my title phrase "Schrodinger's Aether"

Schrodinger's Cat fans like to point out that so-called quantum
indeterminacy doesn't scale up to macroscopic objects like cats, etc.
Well, consider the fact that Michelson's idea for his aether-wind
experiment is based on the notion of swimmers crossing a stream.

So, conversely to the Schrodinger's Cat example, I'm forced to wonder
if the Michelson-Morley premise of macroscopic swimmers in a stream can
really scale down to the quantum level of the photon. Is this premise
of the Michelson Morley aether wind experiment fundamentally flawed?

Consider that a photon in space is going to suffer perturbation effects
from the quantum vacuum, analogous to the way a speck of dust in water
is going to jiggle from Brownian motion. Michelson-Morley is based on
the analogy of macro-sized swimmers in the stream, which doesn't take
into account any apparent effects from Brownian motion like the speck
of dust would experience in water, or that the photon would experience
in aether. If the Michelson-Morley premise then doesn't take into
account this "Brownian motion" effect on the photons actually used in
the experiment for measurement purposes, then there's a possibility of
it yielding erroneous results and conclusions because of this.

How can one then re-phrase the Michelson-Morley experimental parameters
to take into account this "Schrodinger's Aether" -- ie. the
quantum-level perturbational effects by the dynamic vacuum on the
Michelson-Morley photons which is not accounted for in the macroscopic
swimmers-in-a-stream model?
