Abstract
This paper is an update of the Storrs 2005 paper of same title. It provides an electromagnetic analysis indicating that the much-touted null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment is perfectly reasonable from Maxwell-Newton classical considerations, without the need to invoke the special theory of relativity. The anaysis also provides an alternative classical explanation for clocks going around the world in different directions running at different times, again without the need to consider relativistic theory. It suggests that reexamination of other classical experiments, such as Trouten-Noble and Kennedy-Thorndike, may be in order.
