Retrospective Analysis of the Well-Known Experiments
Abstract
We analyze ray path in the Sagnac and Michelson-Gale experimental setups and in the Michelson interferometer. Work of rotating interferometers is proved to be in full agreement with the concept of static ether. A theory of Michelson-interferometer work in vacuum and in a gas is developed. Three second-order small factors pointed out in papers by Demjanov and Shamir-Fox are taken into account. The new results are considerably different from conclusions of the mentioned papers. An absolute laboratory velocity of 10 km/s found by Miller is reevaluated to become 236 km/s according to the new formulas. A new theory of the Michelson interferometer fully agrees with the concept of the static ether. It is predicted that in the well-known OPERA experiment, the diurnal plot of the neutrino velocity should have one maximum and one minimum separated by a time interval of 12 hours.
