    Reading comprehension is difficult, isn't it? :-D

    Ha cool, Paul B. Andersen is here.

    I have a feeling that in the next few days we're going to talk about the traveler from Tau Ceti again.

    So virtually zero friction in Low Earth Orbit or better out in interplanetary
    space is yet an additional reason for Michelson-Morley to be done in outer space.

    And which 'friction' is it you should get rid of?
    A Michelson interferometer isn't rotating.
    It's turned in different directions, but it isn't
    rotating while the measurements are done.

    During the measurments, no.

    Sure.

    But between, yes.

    This is why, I believe, Michelson enlisted the help of his friend Morley,
    a fluid chemist.
