| In this oryginal paper (1905) is: "Examples of this sort, together with
the
| unsuccessful attempts to discover any motion of the earth relatively to
the
| ``light medium,'' ..."

Did you check what the example actually is?
It is:
"Take, for example, the reciprocal electrodynamic action of a magnet and a
conductor. The observable phenomenon here depends only on the relative
motion of the conductor and the magnet", so you are supposed to know what
relative motion is BEFORE Einstein calls it the "principle and relativity"
and
pompously rants about it being "the same laws of electrodynamics and optics
will be valid for all frames of reference for which the equations of
mechanics
hold good" as the cretin Roberts believes.

What the idiot Roberts completely misses is Einstein's third postulate: the
``time'' required by light to travel from A to B equals the ``time'' it
requires
to travel from B to A, which is FALSE.

Roberts has never read the original paper which is why the prat recommends
the kiddy book, "Spacetime physics". Knowledgable he is NOT.

All Michelson and Gale detected was the coriolis effect.
