Morey believes that light is transmitted through the medium of ether.The reason for his failure is that he didn't notice that the light was held by the air, just like a car running in the water, and the car was held by the water. For example,there are two floats A and B on the water surface. The distance is L. There's a car going from A to B. the speed of the car and the flow of water is based on the ground. Let's assume that the speed of the car in the still water is V0, then the time required to drive from A to B is L / V0, and the time required to drive from B to A also is L / V0. Now if the speed of water flow is VX, the speed of driving along the water is V0 + VX, but the float is also moving along the water, so the time needed from A to B is L / (V0 + VX - VX) = L / V0. If it is driving against the water, the speed of the car is V0 - VX, so the time needed from B to A is L / (V0 - VX + VX) = L / V0. You can see whether the water flow is static or has the speed VX, it will not affect the driving time from A to B. Light is like the car. The air on the earth is like water. Space is like the road. We have to do the Murray experiment in a vacuum to uncover the truth.

supplement： 1. We give up the concept of ether. It would be more appropriate to replace the ether with space. 2. My partner's experiment can only prove that the movement of air relative to a reference point in space will affect the velocity of light in the air. His experiment doesn't affect the topic of discussion, so let's continue. 3. I'd still like to know if Michelson interferomers has been tested in vacuum. Does anyone know？ 4. Because of the influence of air, the movement of interference fringes can not be measured in Morrie Michelson experiment. Because the time required for A to B and B to A all is L / C0, where C0 is the velocity of light in a static air relative to a reference point in space. However, in the vacuum environment, allow me to speculate that the time required for light is L / (C - x) and L / (C + x), and the time will change with x, here x is the velocity component of air against space in the direction of light. so the movement of interference fringes can be easily observed. So, if we can't observe the movement of interference fringes in vacuum, we firmly believe that the speed of light is constant. On the contrary, the speed of light does not hold.

@John Cuthber and other experts For this experiment, I confirmed again. My guy said that he could observe the movement of the spot without adding the vacuum tube. He didn't make a very careful comparison. So sorry. Now I prefer to believe that Einstein's idea that the speed of light is constant is believable. Thank you very much for your attention and suggestions on this topic.

Let a laser beam parallel to the optical axis, refract and form a spot on the wall 10 meters away. This spot will not move no matter in the morning, noon or night. But add a vacuum tube to the laser beam, and you will find that the spot is moving slowly. We have done this experiment, which is very easy to do. This phenomenon shows the effect of air on light.

Morey's experiment, that is, it can't prove that the propagation of light needs the ether. It must be said that the existence of the ether is equivalent to space. Morey's experiment also cannot prove that the speed of light is constant. It will be more convincing to build a vacuum environment for the Morey experiment and remove the interference of air.

Yes, the existence of the ether does not affect the spread of light. But we can't draw the conclusion that the speed of light is constant from the Murray experiment。

A vehicle drives on the road being covering with water. Does it indicate that surface water is necessary for vehicle driving? I believe that everyone would give the answer “no”, for vehicles would drive smoothly without surface water on road. Vehicle driving does not need water as the medium. In the contrary, water would affect the driving speed of vehicle. If we assume the driving speed of vehicle is v0 when the water is static against the ground and the relative velocity of water against ground is x in the direction v0, then the driving speed of vehicle parallel to the flow direction is v0+x and the driving speed of vehicle against the flow direction is v0-x. Water flow affects the vehicle speed and the vehicle is seized by water. A beam of light transmits in the air. Does it indicate that air is necessary for light? The answer is no. The transmission of light does not need the medium of air. In the same way, the existence of air would affect the velocity of light transmission. The velocity of light moving along the air is faster than that of light moving against the air. Light is seized by air. Compare the two scenarios above: Vehicle……counterpart……light Water……counterpart……air Road……counterpart……ether Water moves against road……counterpart……air moves against ether Now let’s focus on light: (The velocity of light in the vacuum is C. Assuming air and ground are relatively static. x is the velocity component of ground against ether in the direction of light) When the ground is static against ether, the velocity of light in the air is C0. Then it finds that the duration for light moving from A to B and from B to A is L/C0. When the velocity component of ground moving against ether is x, the duration moving from A to B is L/(C0+x-x) =L/C0 and the duration from B to A is L/(C0-x+x) =L/C0. Therefore, no matter what the x (the velocity component of ground against ether) it is, it would not affect the duration that light moves from A to B or from B to A. Therefore, such is the fundamental reason that Morley could not obverse the light interference fringe movement. We improved Morley experiment and place the experiment in the vacuum environment completely. At this moment, light is not seized by air any more. The duration moving from A to B is L/(C-x) and the duration moving from B to A is L/(C+x). Such indicates that time needed varies with x. Then let’s check the movement of the earth. The earth rotates around sun and also makes autorotation. Therefore, the velocity direction of earth revolution changes continuously against the velocity direction of light. That is, the component of velocity of earth revolution in the light direction keeps changing, which leads to the change of duration from A to B and from B to A. As a result, we could observe the movement of interference stripe through this improved Morley experiment. If it could find the movement, then it demonstrates that ether exists
