ABSTRACT
This monograph is the second of a three-part re-examination of aether-drift and light-Doppler experiments. It begins with a review of linear experiments conducted from 1930 onwards. These include Kennedy-Thorndike and Ives-Stilwell-type experiments, which are usually cited in support of Special Relativity, but also the Silvertooth experiment and several subsequent experiments that allegedly detected a nonzero aether drift. The monograph then proceeds to review the Sagnac and Michelson-Gale rotational experiments, which showed that absolute rotation can be detected optically.
