Text from link:

"I believe that the theoretically-flawed Michelson-Morley experiment pushed Einstein to accept a void without substance. As a result, he claimed that the clock on a satellite moving relative to us will appear slower, but so too will our clock run more slowly, from the satellite's inertial frame. The fact that we successfully adjust GPS clocks for the kinetic time dilation is put forth as supporting evidence, but if this were the case, the satellites would also need to adjust OUR clocks. This loop would not resolve.

A model with a universal medium has no such contradiction."

This is what happens when you try to reconcile what we have been told with what we observe.
Too many contradictions means someone who told me to do my homework, didn't do their homework.
I love physics and science, but I find it difficult to look past certain "assumptions" which they freely admit to.

This guy is spot on. I’ve been a proponent of the aether theory for years because it makes sense. There’s no way light or any kind of EM radiation is a particle and to suggest such is idiocy. The person who originally suggested this was very limited of mind.
