The Michelson Morley Null Result As A Consequence Of A Frictionless Scalar Ether

Authors/Creators

Description

This preprint shows that the Michelson–Morley null result is not a refutation of the ether, but an explicit prediction of a frictionless scalar-pressure medium as defined in Quarkbase Cosmology. In this framework, the ether has no drag, no shear and no anisotropic response, and all components of a closed interferometer co-move coherently with the local Ψ-field configuration. As a result, both arms of the interferometer maintain identical optical paths for any subluminal velocity, making the null result unavoidable. The paper clarifies why Lorentz invariance naturally emerges from the dynamical properties of the quarkic ether, and why interferometry cannot detect such a medium.
