Well, actually, all I have to do is come up with an explanation of the
results of the Michelson-Morley experiment that is different from
Einstein's which does not involve a length contraction or relativity
of simultaneity.

NO! This shows that you do NOT understand how science works.

There are ALWAYS an infinite number of explanations.

Each explanation having some additional complexity added to it.

Science says 'test the SIMPLEST explanation FIRST'.
Science is ALWAYS trying to DISPROVE the currently accepted explanation.

As long as a simpler explanation is satisfactory, it stands.

Again, I tell you that YOU must propose a theory that explains something
that the theory you are trying to disprove fails to explain.
You must demonstrate that a reproducible experiment yields data that the
simplest theory fails to explain but that your theory succeeds at
explaining.

Science is not a matter of debate, it a process of DISPROVING the currently
held theory and replacing it with a better, more inclusive theory.

Once a theory has been disprove, it is no longer accepted [except in a
limited realm of applicability].

You are trying to revive a disproven theory but failing.
You must first disprove Einstein AND demonstrate, by experiment, that your
theory is BETTER.
