You are stupid babe.

The standard rule for the angles under the reflection applies to the local frames only, thus you are unable to discover any deviations from this rule in any lab experiment!

Whether this is exactly true was not something that had been tested.

If one takes seriously the proposition that light is a wave propagating 
through the aether, then the behaviour of mirrors follows directly from 
wave theory, and from the point of view of an observer moving through 
the aether, mirrors would not exactly obey that laws of reflection.

In the end, it doesn't matter how much double-think you engage in - if 
you do the math right, you'll end up with the Lorentz transformation, 
regardless of what you believe is the cause.

But Einstein said contraction is not real for comoving observers. Was he wrong?

He said no such thing, you are compounding your imbecility with your outright lies. You are really despicable. Peter. Your only consolation is that you will die this way, a cretin liar.

I'm sure this point has been made before - but I'll make it again. 
"Real" is a difficult word. You need a precise definition if you want to 
use it in such a question.

But it's irrelevant here. You get the same mathematical result regardless.

Yes, the usual defence of SR is that the term 'real' is not what it means in English. In English it means 'real/true/existing/present' and their opposites are 'not real/untrue/non existing/non present'. The former do not apply to LC but the latter do.

A statement by Einstein in German is translated:

 In 1911,  a critic of Einstein, Vladimir Varićak, declared that length contraction is "real" according to Lorentz, while it is "apparent or subjective" according to Einstein. 

Einstein rejected the criticism and replied: 

“The author unjustifiably stated a difference of Lorentz's view and that of mine concerning the physical facts. The question as to whether length contraction really exists or not is misleading. It doesn't "really" exist, in so far as it doesn't exist for a comoving observer; though it "really" exists, i.e. in such a way that it could be demonstrated in principle by physical means by a non-comoving observer.” 

Einstein made the distinction 'It does not "really" exist for a comoving observer but it does "really" exist for a non-comoving observer'. Michelson was a comoving observer. According to Einstein contraction was therefore not real in Michelson's experiment.

According to Varicak Einstein's perception of LC was apparent (not real) or subjective (not real). According to Einstein's other comment 'it (LC) "really" exists, i.e. in such a way that it could be demonstrated in principle by physical means by a non-comoving observer'.

Einstein did not give a logically conclusive reply, he said LC does and doesn't exist. His reply is only accepted on the basis that a genius cannot be doubted.

That's not the case, it's just that in everyday usage, people are not so 
fixated on having an exact single meaning. Is a mirage real? Well, the 
thing apparently seen does not exist, or at least not where it appears 
to be, so in that sense it's not. But the physical processes that cause 
a mirage are well understood, and in that sense a mirage is real. No one 
loses any sleep over the distinction.

I will definitely measure the length of a moving object as being less 
than will a co-moving observer. So if by length contraction, one means 
the results of measurement, then length contraction is real. On the 
other hand, different observers moving at different speeds will get 
different results, and they can't all be the true contracted length of 
the object, and in that sense the length contraction is not real.

So it's only when you refuse to qualify your meaning of real in 
situations where it needs qualifying do you run into problems.

Getting into arguments about the meaning of words is a completely 
pointless and time-wasting exercise. Pretending that a word has one 
meaning when it actually has many, and using that in an argument, is 
intellectually dishonest.

Sylvia.

I agree. The real issue for me is the confusion about the aether. In 1881 Michelson said  there is no aether. In 1887 he suggested different experiments that could detect the aether. Ever since, science has been ambivalent about this elusive substance.

In fact not ambivalent.

Some experiments are compliant with stationary aether,
while refute moving aether.

Other experiments are compliant with moving aether,
while refute stationary aether.

So neither stationary neither moving luminoferous aether can exist.

You misinterpret him.

What he named aether in GR was not luminoferous aether.
His terminology of GR aether was abandoned as unlucky and misleading
by later contributors to GR
and space-time geometry/metrics is used since then.

Attempts to accept or deny the aether or change its definition by various sources destroyed the credibility of SR. Absolute ambivalence.

Attempt to refute a theory without understanding it
destroys creditability of the refuter.

You still skip the understanding step,
so such questioning can be taken as way of learning only.

The MMX experiment is about confirming light speed anisotropy.

This anisotropy was not confirmed either by MMX,
either by many following experiments with increased accuracy,
using various techniques.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment#Subsequent_experiments

BTW, SR derivation was not based on MMX to explain its result,
but on electrodynamics of moving bodies.
In fact, Einstein wrote he was not aware of MMX.
He independently derived the Lorentz transformation
from different starting point than Lorentz.

Thanks for the reference. The numerous experiments in the report were mostly based on MMX which tried to find the aether but failed. Not surprising as Michelson got his mirrors at a wrong angle.

Irrelevant.  "Mostly" does not equal "all."  And if you would look at the
very next heading:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_experiment#Recent_experiments

you will find experiments that do not use mirrors at all (Mossbauer rotor
experiments, for one) and that carry the accuracy down to meters/second.
There is NO way to detect the presence of an undetectable "substance."
You are riding a dead horse.

Read Paul's response further down. Einstein, Michelson, Paul and I believed/ believe in the aether and the literature does accept in places Lorentz's LC which depends on the existence of the aether.
