Michelson Morley Interferometer
With the help of Michelson Morley Interferometer simulation, I have tried to explain these basic concepts…

About MM experiment
In a moving passenger car, MM experiment is being done. On the ground, an observer stands. To this observer, are constancy of light speed and Lorentz contraction compatible ? And also, constancy of light speed and time dilation compatible ?
MM experiment (done in air)
I found a word “extinction” in a book Special Relativity by French, A.P. 1968. It’s written as follows (original text ; quoted from “Google book” ; in 5-2). “Thus, for example, with visible light, a thickness of about 10-5cm of glass or 0.1mm of air at atmospheric pressure is almost enough to erase any possible memory, as it were, of the motion of the original source” (10-5cm is 0.0001mm). What ?? If it is so (from frequency or from wavelength, “memory” is not erased), the result of MM experiment is only natural.
Also, I found a book Theory of Relativity by Pauli, W 1958. In it, it is written as follows (quoted from the English version; in 1-6). “Rather should one say that ifor an observer moving with medium, light is propagated as usual with velocity c/n in all directions”. Extinction will ensure it. Also it seems to be the “very and true explanation” for MM experiment !!
Then, how about the experiment done in vacuum ? The emission theory seems to be promising.
