there is precedent for calling "ether", "space", an error which has been

Indeed, let me get a smaller and finer spoon to feed you with:

The Michelson-Morley Experiment assumes their is a "physical flow" to
ether (or, that it even exists in a static but detectable state), that
this physical flow can be detected on waves, photons or other particles
-- I say, this is ALREADY FAR TOO MANY ASSUMPTIONS!

The "physical" characteristics of ether may have little, or NO,
relationship to its' properties of conducting/transporting/etc. waves
and/or particles of light and radio frequencies.

The "particles of ether" could simply lack the mass/energy or ability to
impede or accellerate photons and/or waves, and this is the base
reason(s) the Michelson-Morley Experiment failed ... for just one
example ... another quick reason, just off the top of my head, the
simple rotation of the earth, which the Michelson-Morley Experiment is
utilizing, could throw off the ability to detect -- and actually be
moving in the same directions, as what the experiments orientation and
direction are attempting to use as a measure!

I am sure, given any time, a myriad of errors could be thrown in for
consideration ...

The shallowness of your questions, answers and arguments are your
biggest obstacle(s!)

Oh... It's all clear now. It's not that you don't have the
ANSWERS, it's that we ask the wrong QUESTIONS.

Brilliant!

It's almost funny how JS doesn't relate his posts to the above
description.
But then in his world.........

For a minute, I didn't know if I could find this:

"In 1895, Lorentz Eric Weisstein's World of Biography concluded that the
"null" result obtained by Michelson and Morley was caused by a effect of
contraction made by the ether on their apparatus and introduced the
length contraction equation

(see URL below for this text AND equation here)

where L is the contracted length, is the rest length, v is the velocity
of the frame of reference, and c is the speed of light. Although the
main interpretation of Lorentz Eric Weisstein's World of Biography for
this equation was rejected later, the equation is still correct and was
the first of a sequence of new equations developed by Poincaré, Eric
Weisstein's World of Biography Lorentz, Eric Weisstein's World of
Biography and others, resulting in a new branch of physics ultimately
brought to fruition by Albert Einstein Eric Weisstein's World of
Biography in special relativity. Einstein's idea of space-time
contraction replaced Lorentz's interpretation of the contraction
equation, and once and for all relegated ether to the history books."

So, does that seem to be affirmative to your question?
