Time to go back and review all four of Michaelson-Moreley's experiments. Differences in effects depending on which direction earth is headed?

Last time I even heard about ether was when I had my tonsils out.

I don't think I am stupid. But when I try to understand an article like this, I feel stupid.

In my tiny little brain, light has always just been the continuation of the electromagnetic scale that starts with ELF, goes up thru the AM band and FM band and through the microwave band to the infrared band and at some point the same sort of waves become visible to our eyes, then become ultraviolet, then gamma, etc.

That may or may not be accurate in any way, but it is what I have always thought.

Now I feel stupid. Maybe I should be voting Democrat.

A ten-kilowatt laser would seem to be a bit more than a "shimmering"; let alone the output of a star.

"a shimmering of ever-present vectors in empty space"

Now that makes it perfectly clear!
