A revisit of the papers on the theory of relativity: Reconsideration of the hypothesis of ether-dragging

TL;DR

This paper reevaluates the theory of relativity by examining the ether-dragging hypothesis, proposing that the ether can coexist with relativity and offering a new interpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment.

Contribution

It introduces a reinterpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment based on ether-dragging, challenging the orthodox view of a fixed speed of light.

Findings

Ether is compatible with relativity and historical experiments

Reinterprets Michelson-Morley experiment without assuming fixed light speed

Suggests alternative understanding of inertial frames

Abstract

This paper revisits previous papers related to the theory of relativity. Afterwards, a reconsideration of the hypothesis of ether-dragging is discussed. The ether is compatible with the theory of relativity and historical experiments; this paper explains the Michelson-Morley experiment using the ether-dragging hypothesis without the orthodox interpretation that the speed c is a fixed constant in terms of any system of inertial coordinates.
