In the section 'Importance to Relativity' it is assumed that absolute matter length can be known. This is not possible as we do not have access to a standard against which absolute length can be ascertained. RFNo ( talk) 09:26, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
The article creates an impression, that effects of length contraction and time dilation are real, and null - result of this experiment can be explained by "contraction and dilation" of the interferometer in its own frame. This explanation is correct in a framework of the Lorentz Ether Theory, which is "no longer supported" by the Mainstream Scientific Community and is not in accordance with standard scientific consensus. The Mainstream Scientific Community considers Lorentz's hypothesis to be "ad-hoc". Albert Einstein give correct explanation of this experiment. According to the Einstein's theory of the Special Relativity the interferometer neither "contract" nor "dilates" itself. That gives correct explanation of null - result of this experiment. However, the correct explanation has not been even mentioned.
鈥淭hus, for a co-ordinate system moving with the earth the mirror system of Michelson and Morley is not shortened, but it is shortened for a co-ordinate system which is at rest relatively to the sun.鈥
鈥斺堿lbert Einstein, 1916
On the other hand - how can KT interferometer to slow down in the 鈥渃oordinate system which is at rest relatively to the Sun鈥 but not 鈥渟low down鈥 in a co-ordinate system moving with the Earth. Mossbauer rotor test show that rotating detector actually slows down in a co-ordinate system moving with it, since it measures higher frequency of the source in the centre of centrifuge. 鈥斅燩receding unsigned comment added by 213.197.169.74 ( talk) 07:31, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
