What was the preferred frame of light in the MM experiment

 

The MM experiment was done in Earth's atmosphere which means that air was the medium of propagation and the preferred frame of light, not aether. The atmosphere is comoving with the earth so the light will travel at the same speed c/n in all directions, since there was no relative motion between the earth and the air medium in the basement where they made the experiment. The experiment must be made in a vacuum in order to isolate the aether, and even then a null result does not disprove the aether.

Because the null result can also be explained by a fully dragged aether, since the aether theory they were testing was of a STATIONARY aether. But if the aether is fully dragged by the earth the there is no relative motion between the two and no aether wind can be detected. In that case a null result is expected. But MM ignored this experiment was entirely done in earth's atmopshere which is fully dragged by the earth, so the null result is essentially indistingushable from that of a fully dragged aether



 All waves have a preferred frame. That is the medium in which the wave is propagating. The speed of the wave is constant/invariant because it has a preferred frame, and its speed only depends on the properties of the medium. That is why the speed of the wave does not depend on the speed of the source, nor of the speed of the observer, because it is fixed by the medium. That's why the speed of sound/light does not add to the speed of its source, nor to the speed of the observer. And that is why the speed of light is invariant in a 'vacuum', which is aether, because it only depends on the properties of the aether medium, which is the preferred frame of reference for light. Moving observers only see a change in the apparent frequency and wavelength, due to Doppler effect, but the speed of the sound/light wave is the same when you multiply f' and lambda', because the Doppler shifts cancel out as I have shown here:

This simple calculation proves light speed in aether is invariant for any moving observer without any Lorentz transformations
