Twin paradox, wave-particle paradox and many errors has put Einstein into focus. So, it is about time to ask: who was right? Lorentz ether theory has been suggested - but is in conflict with the twin paradox. Perhaps the problem is in the Michelson-Morley tests (MMX)?

MMX gave no empirical results, but gave a negative result to theoretical physics, due to interpretational error. Michelson said: no effect in transverse arm. However, most of his contemporaries said: half effect in transverse arm and reduced the prediction. Michelson had assumed ray direction c to be defined by mirrors and his contemporaries assumed beam direction c+v to be orthogonal to mirrors. If we respect Michelson's idea we should abolish time dilation and double the FitzGerald contraction. So, we get compensated effect in the longitudinal arm MMX is useless. Using ray direction c means also that stellar aberration is useless (the reason is observer motion).

So, Michelson was right, his contemporaries were wrong and Einstein was a child.

Or - what do you think??
