Wikipedia states: ".....while the negative result of the Michelson–Morley experiment can be explained by length contraction alone, the negative result of the Kennedy–Thorndike experiment requires time dilation in addition to length contraction to explain why no phase shifts will be detected while the earth moves around the sun".

I read this as an acceptance by mainstream science that LC in MMX and KTX is real but it is in contradiction of Einstein's rejection of LC being real for comoving observers.

Bod suggested that Einstein's response to Varicak meant that LC is real but cannot be identified by human efforts.

I could reply to Bod the aether is also real but this has not be directly identified by anyone as yet.

This is why you need more understanding than you can get from a Wiki page.
This is a perfect example of baloney from an "authority."

Only according to Lorentz Ether Theory (LET) does LC enter into an
explanation of the MMX.  LET is rejected by mainstream science because it
makes the assumed ether theoretically and experimentally undetectable.
Science doesn't like assumptions that cannot be tested.  You shouldn't
either.

By SR, neither LC nor TD is necessary to explain the MMX results.  I can't
see why it would be any different for KTX since the source and detector
are stationary in the laboratory frame.

By LET it has not only not been identified, it CANNOT be identified by ANY
experiment.  As Einstein said:

"More careful reflection teaches us, however, that the special theory of
relativity does not compel us to deny ether. We may assume the existence
of an ether; only we must give up ascribing a definite state of motion to
it, i.e. we must by abstraction take from it the last mechanical
characteristic which Lorentz had still left it." 

http://www.relativitybook.com/resources/Einstein_aether.html

If it has no "mechanical" attributes, does it have any existence at all?
Is it ectoplasm?

I see nothing "baloney" about the Wikipedia article on Kennedy-Thorndike
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy%E2%80%93Thorndike_experiment

Somebody who is *determined* to misread the page to justify his misconceptions
about special relativity will certainly be able to do so. I have certainly
found it to be the case that crackpots can misread Taylor & Wheeler, Ohanian
and other standard texts on the subject. Likewise, the New Testament can be
read to justify pogroms against the Jews, the Koran can be read to justify
ISIS atrocities, the Constitution could be read to justify the Dred Scott
decision, etc.

Peter is in the *determined* category.

Really?  So how do you justify what it said:

"the negative result of the Michelson–Morley experiment can be explained by
length contraction alone, the negative result of the Kennedy–Thorndike
experiment requires time dilation in addition to length contraction to
explain why no phase shifts will be detected while the earth moves around
the sun."

This is 19th century mumbo jumbo.

No, the above is in support of the Divergent Matter theory, whereas the 
appearance of Time Dilation is present, but there is no Length Contraction.

Wiki is wrong on this. TD enters in the explanation of MMX. It is just that LC is pivotal in the explanation while TD is secondary.

More precisely: FitzGerald contraction explained the null results of the MMX
experiment. Lorentz noted that the transformation equations implied by 
FitzGerald contraction were inconsistent: they did not form a group. Consistency
required the addition of terms implying time dilation; hence length contraction
is now referred to as Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction.

Yes, from the assumption of an ether, which is no longer assumed.

IIRC, it was Poincare who noted the inconsistency.  But all three were
assuming the existence of the ether.  SR does not use the ether, so there
is no observer moving wrt the ether and no movement of instrument wrt the
observer.  Hence no LC and no TD since v = 0.

This correct, however the signal is still present, for various reasons. 
The signal indicates a Doppler Shift.

Sorting out who believed what and when is rather difficult for those of us who
are not professional historians of science. What is obvious is that 
understanding came only gradually to those who were working on this issue.

FitzGerald proposed the contraction hypothesis in 1899 and Lorentz independently
proposed it in 1892. By 1892-1895, Lorentz had introduced the concept of "local
time" t' = t-vx/c^2, but it is clear that he wasn't thinking in terms of group
theory, but rather considered local time as a heuristic working hypothesis. 
Poincare was the first to see Lorentz's local time hypothesis as being more than
just a math trick, and by 1900 wrote of local time as being an artifact of the
procedure used to synchronize clocks using light signals. So it would seem that
the complete set of equations making up the Lorentz transformation were
discovered before recognition that they formed a group, which seems to have been
in 1905.

So yes, it seems that I was off in my history.

I might mention that Kennedy and Thorndike did not presuppose SR in their 
derivation of the effects that sought to measure (or not, as the case may be)

Yes. Lest anyone make an incorrect conclusion, I'll point out that the group 
property of the Lorentz transformations was noted in 1905 by Poincaré (not 
Einstein, who also wrote an important paper on this in 1905).

The history is complicated by the fact that when Lorentz presented his eponymous 
transformations in 1904 he made a mistake, which Poincaré pointed out. Lorentz 
also pulled his "derivation" out of thin air, without any justification except 
that it worked for what he was trying to do (show that the Maxwell's equations 
applied not only in the aether frame, but also in a moving frame, such as one 
occupied by a lab on earth). It was some combination of Einstein and Poincaré 
who turned this into invariance, and Einstein took that and made it an important 
foundation of modern physics (all current fundamental theories of physics are 
based on various types of invariance, of which Lorentz invariance is the most 
fundamental [#]).

Same as relatvity and Einstein. I mean, his wife. She came up with a theroy 
about something completely else. The Public made Relativity to what it is 
today. Nevertheless, still misunderstood by large extent.

Happingly, it shows up that Relativity is nothing but a special case of 
Divergent Matter theory. Or a subset of it, if you wish.

No, that's the most fundamental is the Divergent Matter. All that extends 
from it.

You too misunderstood the whole thing. GR is nothing but a Special Case of 
SR, whereas is still the motion doing the Relativistic Effects. But here 
in GR, the motion is embedded "stationary" against the "spacetime" 
curvature. And not because the "curvature" alone. There is no curvature. 
Which of course, the whole thing is PURE Divergent Matter-ish.

I am disappointed, you never reach farther than Relativity, as I do.

Budnig, read and quote the next paragraph, is you want to understand 
Science. You tend to take things upside down. When you are selective in

I would rather appear lacking prerequisites than appearing incapable.

I select what I comment.
Unselective quoting is sign of inability of distinguish.
And intentional corruption of names is sign of trolling.

Then try to appear lacking prerequisites.

No, it is a fairly straightforward summary in English of the mathematical
argument presented in the following section of the article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy%E2%80%93Thorndike_experiment#Basic_theory_of_the_experiment

write an English summary of the math? If you manage to provide a better English
summary of the math, I will update Wikipedia accordingly. I am a reasonably well

You may want to change this:

"Although Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction (Lorentz contraction) BY ITSELF is fully able to explain the null results of the Michelson–Morley experiment,"

You will need to remove the "BY ITSELF" because it is incorrect.

The "explanation" given in what I quoted from the wiki article has Lorentz
Ether Theory for its genesis.  The modern interpretation does not involve
length contraction (or time dilation) because both source and detector
are stationary in the same inertial frame; i.e., v = 0 and gamma = 1.

The whole article is so screwed up that an "update" is hopeless.

Err,

The explanation has TWO pointsm, not one:

1. From the POV of the lab
2. From the POV of an observer moving wrt the lab. This explanation needs:

2.1. TD and LC for KTX 
2.2. In the case of MMX it needs LC (in the frame of the moving observer) and LC+TD (in order to transform the result back into the frame of the lab).
