It claims that the Michelson-Morley experiment doesn't really prove
that there is no absolute continuum.
It seems to use the word "continuum" for what everyone else calls "aether".
Any comments about it?
The author is very confused. In section 7 he seems to think that the formula for the longitudinal travel time, t = l/(c+v) + l/(c-v), describes corpuscles of light in an emission theory which move with speeds c+v and c-v. Of course, this would only make sense if the light source were moving with respect to the mirrors. Then he says that "the change in travel time of light particles somehow materializes as change of the emitted or received frequency." You can safely ignore this paper.
