The MMX experiment showed at most that light is perhaps constant in a frame for an observer where the observer and the light source are in the same frame, both at constant distance from each other. It did not say anything about how light would look like for an outside observer. I have seen non-relativistic explanations for stellar aberration. Besides, don't you think that a theory that has existed for almost a hundred years should have been accepted by everyone by now if it was true? /CLC |
