It was even worse! The Michelson-Morley experiment found something, and then called it nothing.

They were expecting to get a reading of 10, got 1... and then said, it must be 0!
That isn't science!

Further, it only disproved one model of the Aether.
The one where the aether is stationary and the earth is moving through it, in a horizontal manner.
Probably the most simple and least likely model. Good job M-M. Now, for your next trick, are you going make a cookie disappear by eating it?

As a note, the M-M apparatus was taken to various elevations and the readings changed at each new elevation. Something really important to look into. NOT CALL IT ZERO
