===Dayton Miller (1902 - 1933)===
Dayton Miller conducted the most extensive experimentation using laser interferometry during the early to mid 1900s, conducting a total of 5,200,000 measurements.
Miller was able to determine a direct cause and effect relationship with the speed of The

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).
Miller's later work consisted of taking measurements at altitude, this allowed him to make consistent measurements of the fluctuation in
In 1933, in summary of all his laser interferometry work, Miller said:
Line 25:
It should be noted that while David Miller was alive that his work could not be refuted. Miller undertook extensive controlled experiments and procedures to guard against laboratory artifacts, and objectively determine the sensitivity of his apparatus.
While Miller was doing these experiments that were proving a measurement with The
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.

The bottom graph average variation and observed Azimuth readings according to sidereal time this graph uses the theme average and data curve from (Figure 1 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
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
====Shanklin's Response====
Robert Shanklin was brought in to basically character assassinate Miller and his work. Shanklin a former student of Miller later became a proponent of Einstein's relativity theory, and he built his career on Publications that misrepresented the Michelson-Morley experiments as solid evidence against the existence of
Misrepresentation of the experimental results, Shanklin's falsely claimed that the trials of Mickelson-Morley experiments, except those carried out by Miller, yielded "null results". This misrepresentation ignores the slight positive result obtained by several other interferometer experiments, suggesting as a deliberate bias against Miller's findings. Lack of comprehensive evaluation, Shanklin's paper gave the impression of a comprehensive review of Miller's interferometer observations, but was limited in scope.
Line 70:
Miller addressed at many times and even called Einstein out in a paper (need citation). There's a long history of you know people trying to dunk on Miller and while he was alive he couldn't do it, so after he died that's when the that's when the Sharks came in and uh picked at the bones of his of his work.
David's Miller work on The
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.
