Default MM RESULTS NOT NULL

Excellent scholarly article - will be much referenced, as its points out
systematic conceptual and methodological errors - on interferometer results
at the time of the development of SR and GR, such as MM, Michelson-Gale and
Sagnac, and their cosmological and implications:

The use of the word "swindle" at the start of that document indicates a lack
of nuance, especially as that word is used for "relativity", which is a
rather generic concept. But it was also Essen (the first reference) who once
wrote the short challenging article "Relativity, Joke or Swindle" , perhaps
influencing the author.

I am afraid to find many errors when I read on...

OK, the start I find not so good, but the paper is very interesting with
quite some useful information.

Does anyone know if the claim is correct that the non-zero signals of Miller
etc. can be explained by the Sagnac effect?
I don't remember that this came up in the long discussion of end of last
year ("Dayton Miller's Experiment. Was Indeed Flawed").
Regretfully the linked paper does not contain a calculation...

The answer is no. Miller was aware of Sagnac, and evaluated for it.

year ("Dayton Miller's Experiment. Was Indeed Flawed").

Then said paper is probably simply another hatchet piece.

Right. Or almost!
I now looked at the paper of Miller, and did not see him mention Sagnac - I
may have overlooked it (it's almost a book). But contrary to the drawing in
the above article by Monti, the rays in his apparatus enclosed (in
principle) no area at all. The trick was to let the light travel back to the
beam splitter along the exact same path.
Thus here we identified one very big error in the article of Monti.

What, you mean light beams are infinitely fine?

No, figure 2 is misleading and fig.3 is wrong.

Could be either, couldn't it?
