ROTFL. Why are you keep on pretending talking to someone else
when you actually wanted to talk to me?
Why is it so amazing? At every location on the surface of the earth
it has one direction of absolute motion and that direction is
vertical.

It is the only explanation available that explains all
the results of the following past experiments:
1. The MMX.
2. The Compton shift experiment--it explains why the red
shift is the same in all the horizontal orientations of
the Compton apparatus.
3. Why the speed of light is isotropic horizontally.
4. Gravtational red shift in the vertical direction but
not in the horizontal direction.

Here's your problem: The absolute motion of the earth remains the same
throughout the year. Why? there is no force acting on it.
