Didn't Michelson and Morley disprove the aether theory pretty thoroughly?

Hi Mark,
Actually, the M&M experiment didn't disprove the aether theory. It
just showed that the aether didn't have detectable physical properties. It
remained for Einstein et.al. to give an interpretation of those results
that showed that the aether was an unnecessary complication in the
explanation of the physical universe. Like the existence of a deity, the
fact that it is physically undetectable and totally unnecessary to physical
theory is NOT a proof of non-existence, just proof of irrelevance to
physical science.
It is this irrelevance that allows mainstream science to go forward
and believers in aethers and deities to stay comfortable in their
perceptions of, and beliefs about, the universe.
