Precision test for the new Michelson-Morley experiments with rotating cryogenic cavities |
Authors: M. Consoli
Comments: 6 pages, plain Latex, no figures
Subj-class: Classical Physics

==========[ABSTRACT]=================
A new ether-drift experiment in Dusseldorf is currently
measuring the relative frequency shift of two cryogenic
optical resonators upon active rotations of the apparatus.
I point out that the observed fractional amplitude of the
sidereal variations of the signal in February,
C_sid \sim (11 \pm 2) 10^{-16}, is entirely consistent
with the expectations based on Miller's observations in
the same epoch of the year.
This leads to predict that, with future data collected in
August-September, the observed sidereal variations
should increase by \sim + 70 %, i.e. up to
C_sid \sim (19\pm 2) 10^{-16} retaining the present
normalization. This would represent clean experimental
evidence for the existence of a preferred frame.

....and when the future data disagrees with your predictions,
you will come up with some alternative explanation concluding
that the data is consistent with Cahill after all...

If the future data is not consistent with the postulates
of relativity there's no doubt that the experiment will
have to be done again - and quite a few times over.

Data is plural!

And finally it will be found consistent.
