Ideas
Müller disputes the standard relativistic explanation of the Michelson-Morley experiment. He argues instead for the existence of a stationary ether, proposing that the motion of a light source through this medium raises the frequency in the direction of motion and lowers it against the direction of motion. This position runs counter to the mainstream understanding, in which the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment is taken as evidence against an ether and in support of special relativity. His homepage is listed among named critics of relativity on the independent German site markweger.at.
