About Sagnac effect, Michelson-Morley's test and starlight aberration. Also: Euclid's postulate
RELATIVITY (2 articles)
This page reveals fallacies in both classical legs of SPECIAL RELATIVITY. The most important failure is found in the aberration problem and not in the most debated Michelson-Morley experiment.
Universal light speed means that the orientation of a plane wave-front can not be changed by an ether-wind blowing INSIDE the same plane. Therefore: Aberration is SILENT about a transverse ether-wind and united with entrained as well as autonomous ether.
Decision between the 2 main ether models can only be done by means of the Sagnac effect.

PARALLELISM (1 article)
A 2300 years old dilemma is analyzed and the problem is found in the definition and not in the following postulate. A better definition is suggested.
