The subsequent Nicholson Morley experiments in modern times that are trending towards zero for detection in their friendship pattern only further approved Miller's hypothesis that as you get closer to the surface of the Earth less motion will be translated than an altitude he also made considerations for the environment of the apparatus I.E is it enclosed, is it in a basement, at the bottom of a building, what's it enclosed in, what are those materials made out of, what sort of shielding is used for the apparatus (for the light beams).

Miller's later work consisted of taking measurements at altitude, this allowed him to make consistent measurements of the fluctuation in ether speed.

Miller would actively take steps to address the criticisms, as well and modify his experiments to address the the criticisms. So that's something really cool about Miller, is every time he was criticized instead of just saying No and rejecting the criticism, he would literally do hundreds of thousands of experiments and measurements directly addressing what was what was previously thought to be wrong.

====Some of the things Miller did to adjust the experiment====
====Adjustments the experiment: Miller's response to criticisms====
* Miller had the ability to adjust the mirrors with fine Precision, he had really precise finely threaded screws, and just by turning the screws 16 degrees he could isolate 100 wavelengths of light.

* he added weights to the apparatus, so that when it's spinning you he could make sure that it's balancing correctly and it's staying level while while it's rotating.

Periodicity of the of global ether Drift from Dayton Miller's Mount Wilson ether drift experiment 1925-1926. The top graft above plus the data from four separate months or epochs measured at different times of the year organized by sidereal time showing a definite periodic curve the heavy line is the mean of all four epochs. The bottom graph above plots the same data organized by civil clock time coordinates, here is the same data spread out along the graph without apparent periodicity.

(figure 1 bottom Graph) above plots the same data organized by civil clock time coordinates, here is the same data spread out along the graph without apparent periodicity.


This demonstrates that the detected axis in the Periodicity of The Ether drift is the same or different times of that year, so it can only be seen when the data is viewed through a cosmological sidereal coordinate system from Miller 1928, page 362. These data curves are organized along with Azimuth means that were later recomputed with Miller's publication as given in figure 10.

On average velocity and Azimuth of global ether drift, from Dayton Miller's Mount Wilson ether drift experiments 1925-1926. Top graph average variations is observed in The observed magnitude of ether Drift from all four epochs of measurement. Maximum velocities occurs at about five hours sidereal time and minimum velocity occurs at about 17 hours sidereal time. While Miller's 1933 paper assumed the Earth was pushing through the ether and moving towards Dorado near the southern pole of the plane of the ecliptic, the movement and direction of The Ether drift past the interferometer was exactly opposite to this toward Draco, near the North Pole, and the plane of the ecliptic 17 hours right Ascension declination of plus 68 degrees.

It is important from the standpoint of his working the theory to clarify the concepts of the net motion of the earth versus the direction of The Ether drift, however if the ether itself is in motion acting as a cosmic prime mover the direction of The Ether drift in the net motion of the Earth would be identical, although at different velocities.

The bottom graph average variation and observed Azimuth readings according to sidereal time this graph uses the theme average and data curve from (figure 11) top graph published by Miller 1928 page 363. But at the time was given a different Baseline average the the same graph is present here for the first time using Miller's revised seasonal averages as published in 1933 page 235, which helped Define the axis of ether drift.

Amazingly the independent averages of the four epochs provided by Miller. February equals minus 10 degrees west of North. April equals plus 40 degrees east. August equals plus 10 degrees east, and in September equals plus 55 degrees east; yielded together a mean displacement of 23.75 degrees east from North (figure 13). This is close to the Earth's axial tilt of 23.5 degrees and can hardly be a coincidence. More discussion in demio 2002
Amazingly the independent averages of the four epochs provided by Miller (February equals minus 10 degrees west of North, April equals plus 40 degrees east, August equals plus 10 degrees east, and in September equals plus 55 degrees east), yielded together results in a mean displacement of 23.75 degrees east from North (Figure 2 bottom graph). This is close to the Earth's axial tilt of 23.5 degrees, and can hardly be a coincidence.


Dayton Miller modeled out, based on those measurements, so basically he thought that he was measuring the axial tilt of the earth. A model constructed by Miller displaying the axis of ether drift through the four seasons (of what he thought was the Earth moving around the Sun and the axis of drift), this model appears to be roughly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, so this is what Miller modeled out from his measurements. So, I'm going to play this out that this is what Miller measured, essentially on a flat plane with the sun doing all of the same stuff that he measured in the ether translating the motion of the sky down to the Earth.

The Shanklin team and their attempt to discredit Miller selectively analyzed his data and failed to systematically evaluate his most important experiments, while the Shanklin conclusion were negative, they were they inadvertently confirmed Miller's work of a periodic effect in the interferometer data, which was not due to random errors or mechanical effects.

The Shanklin team focused on the temperature artifacts but did not thoroughly analyze Miller's most crucial Mount Wilson data. The large issue of the periodic effects of the data and the potential impact of the temperature were not adequately addressed by shanklin's team. A Team possibly influenced by Einstein, Cherry-Picked the data to support their predetermined conclusion that Miller was wrong rather than following the scientific method. Independent studies of Miller's work support his findings of the existence of an aether-like Force.
