Cooks (some anyway) are familiar with Newtonian physics.

And the more spectacular, and useful parts of chemistry, thankyouverymuch.

Does the math on this hold up with the M-M experiments? I guess that's the question I've been trying to ask.

Sure, np. :)

As far whether the math holds up with M-M experiments my short answer is: yes, I think so. The M-M experiments are thought to be a decisive contributing factor that later lead to the development of Special Relativity and the proposed assumption that the speed of light is invariant; it’s been awhile since I’ve taken advanced physics classes though, so I don’t have the specifics or the math at the forefront of my memory.

This might fill in some of the details better for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson–Morley_experiment#Special_Relativity

Hmm... cook... that reminds me that I am supposed to be looking up recipes for preparing celeriac.
