Fortunately it doesn't. To the contrary, the null result of the MMX is
fundamental to what I, deSitter, Ritz, and everyone else is telling you. Again,
light propagates at the speed c in terms of every standard system of
inertial coordinates, including the standard inertial system in which
the lab is at rest for the duration of time required for the matched
pulses to traverse the apparatus and re-unite. Indeed, this is why there
is a null fringe shift. This has been explained to you before, remember?

Again, for the duration of time required for light to traverse the
apparatus, the MMX lab is moving inertially, i.e., it does not appreciably
change its state of motion at all, i.e., it does not deviate appreciably from
rest in terms of a single standard system of inertial coordinates.

In contrast, the state of motion of a component of a binary star system
changes enormously from one part of its orbit to the opposite part of its
orbit during the transit of light to earth, in terms of any inertial coordinate
system, and this (if Ritz's idea was correct) would result in the negative
frequencies that we shown not to be present, thereby falsifying Ritz's idea..

Again, Ritz argued that every light pulse propagates at c in terms of the
standard inertial coordinates in which the emitter is at rest *at the moment
of emission* (which is true in special relativity as well), but if the emitter
subsequently accelerates to a different state of motion he did not make the
nutty claim that that acceleration is magically superimposed on the trajectories
of all the previously emitted light pulses. He was not mentally ill.

Your nutty beliefs are completely irrational. Agreed?
