Dear Mr. Blumschein,
Yours is the finest essay I have read so far, and I am sure that it will score quite highly in the competition.
I was especially impressed when you wrote this: "Was Einstein right? Definitely yes, when he postulated a good insight: There is no preferred point of reference in space."
Based only on my observation, I have concluded that all of the stars, all of the planets, all of the asteroids, all of the comets, all of the meteors, all of the specks of astral dust and all real things have one and only one thing in common. Each real thing has a material surface and an attached material sub-surface. All material surfaces must travel at the constant "speed" of light. All material sub-surfaces must travel at an inconsistent "speed" that is less than the "speed" of light. Einstein was completely wrong when it came to physical observation. It would be physically impossible for light to move as it does not have a surface or a sub-surface. Abstract theory cannot ever have unification. Only reality is unified because there is only one reality.
The interferometer that Michelson and Morley used in their solar wind experiment had a surface. The room in which the experiment was conducted had a surface. Michelson and Morley had surfaces. All surfaces travel at the "speed" of light. The only thing that did not have a surface was the light that the pair used. No wonder it performed unusually.
The barrier with the two slits has a surface. The barrier behind the barrier with the two slits has a surface. The laboratory in which the experiment is conducted has a surface. Anybody in the laboratory at the time would have a surface. Only the light shone through the two slits would be absent a surface. No wonder such a light would perform unusually.
The real Universe is unique, once. All information is not unique.
With all of my best regards,
Joe Fisher
