Abstract

Champeney's 1963 Mossbauer experiment was performed as a first-order test of "ether" velocity, in spite of an earlier paper that proved that there was exact cancellation between two first-order effects, one due to "ether" velocity, and the other due to Lorentz "time" dilation. But experiments show that clock rates are determined by their velocity with respect to non-rating geocentric coordinates. The first-order term "time dilation" term thus reappears, which must be balanced by another, if agreement with the experiment is to be achieved.
