From the customary view the Michelson-Morley experiment is used to expose the failure of the aether theory. The key point in this experiment is the \emph{fringe shift} of the interference pattern. Regularly, the fringe shift calculations are only presented from the perspective of the inertial frame where the one-way speed of light is anisotropic which gives a partial vision of the problem. In a spirit of revision of these facts we have meticulously analyzed the physics behind them. As a result, an angular effect which is based on Huyghens principle and plays a fundamental role in the reflection of light waves at moving mirrors is incorporated. Moreover, under the assumption of a null result in the experiment, on the one hand, the fringe shift conditions demand actual relativistic effects; on the other, it is confirmed that Maxwell's electrodynamics and Galilean relativity are incompatible formulations. From these two points at least three inertial theories follow: (1) the special theory of relativity (SR), (2) a new aether theory (NET) based on the Tangherlini transformations and (3) emission theories based on Ritz' modification of electrodynamics. A brief review of their physical content is presented and the problem of the aether detection as well as the propagation of light, within the context of SR and the NET, are discussed. Despite the overwhelming amount of evidences that apparently favors SR we claim that there are no strong reasons to refuse the aether which conceived as a continuous material medium, still stands up as a physical reality and could be physically associated with dark matter, the cosmic background radiation and the vacuum condensates of particle physics.

地面上进行的迈克尔逊-莫雷实验的无效发现对确定哪种物理理论最适合现实具有影响力。在这里，我们建议使用视差和测距技术的距离测量迈克尔逊-莫雷型实验在天文尺度上，阐述与地球-月球系统。一个动机是绕过任何假设的地球束缚介质，作为对早期无效发现的解释。当考虑太阳系相对于宇宙微波背景的370 kms-1运动时，接收器速度的较大值和较长的距离为洛伦兹动力学变换和伽利略-牛顿动力学变换之间的对抗奠定了基础。双向测距时间携带着光的动力学变换信息，因此，通过测距测量的距离与视差测量的距离的比较，几何方法可以揭示光的动力学行为的假设的正确性。不受370 kms-1速度影响的双向测距时间表明零结果，进一步支持爱因斯坦的相对论，而受这一速度影响的测距时间表明非零结果，将表现为测距距离普遍增加，超过实际的月球几何距离，在RA 11 h 11.649 m和23 h 11.649 m坐标方向上可达500米。

The Roland De Witte 1991 Detection of Absolute Motion and Gravitational Waves
1991年，Roland De Witte在布鲁塞尔进行了一项实验，记录了178天内射频波通过同轴电缆的单向速度变化。这个实验的数据表明，德威特已经探测到了地球在太空中的绝对运动，从1887年的迈克耳孙-莫雷实验开始，他已经进行了六次实验。他的结果与Miller 1925/26在加利福尼亚州威尔逊山山顶上使用气体模式迈克耳孙干涉仪探测绝对运动的大量数据非常一致。德威特的数据揭示了气流中的湍流，相当于引力波的探测。米勒、托尔和科伦在他们的同轴电缆实验中也观察到了类似的效应。在这里，我们汇集了已知的德威特实验。
