Experiments are never nullified. They are questions posed to nature which
nature answers. Yes and No answers are both valuable answers to that
question. The Michelson experiment asked the question, does the speed of
light vary according to what is expected from an ether wind hypothesis? The
answer from nature is no. That is a valid answer from a valid experiment. 

Don’t ever assume an experiment is only valid if the result is positive.
