>MUH PHYSICIST MIS-QUOTES!Because flerfers like to use pilpul to argue endlessly over their misquotes, we'll just cut to the chase and dismiss this as an appeal to authority fallacy.
>MUH ROTATING AETHER!Michelson-Morley disproved the theory of a luminiferous aether.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment>NOOOOO! THE AETHER IS REALLY THERE!MM has been repeated with instruments 2 orders of magnitude more sensitive. Still null.
>BUT FRINGES WERE DETECTED! MUH AETHER IS ROTATING!Fringes are always within the device error range. As devices become more accurate, the fringes become smaller, ultimately by two orders of magnitude. Either the aether is magically slowing its rotation as we build more accurate interferometers...which also means a rotating aether cannot explain RLG results...or there is no aether.
>BUT MUH DEVICE ORIENTATION!During a MM experiment the device is slowly rotated 360°. The result is a graph, not a single reading. There are no orientation errors due to time.
>BUT MUH AETHER VORTEX MPH VARIES WITH LATITUDE AND ALTITUDE!But the speed of light does not vary with latitude or altitude, which rules this out entirely.
>BUT MUH ROTATING DOME SHELL INERTIAL FORCES! MUH CORIOLIS FORCE!!!RLGs do not rely on inertial or Coriolis forces. They rely entirely on Sagnac.
>BUT HAWKING SAID!Oh, you love Hawking? Good, he said Earth is a rotating sphere orbiting the sun, and even showed people how to prove this.
