Debunking false claims about classical wave physics
Someone wrote on Quora: ‘’According to classical wave physics, the speed of light in the aether is constant. But if the Earth is moving through the aether, we should measure light moving at different speeds depending on which direction we look—just as driving into a headwind changes the speed at which sound waves hit you. The Michelson-Morley experiment of 1887 proved this wasn't happening. The aether didn't seem to exist.’’ Where does classical physics claim that if the Earth is moving we should measure light moving at different speeds depending on which direction we look ?? This is a complete misinterpretation of classical wave physics. Classical physics says that the wave speed only depends on the properties of the medium, not on the motion of the source or observer. So the fact that the observer or source are moving does not affect the speed of light or sound at all. And I already explained you how to correctly calculate the wave speed for moving observers, by using the WA...
