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

I'm better prepared to pull a bernaise or hollandaise recipe and technique out of dark memory for Eggs Benedict tomorrow morning than know specifics on the math of special relativity.

Thanks for the link.
