       To simulate the original Michelson and Morley experiment use the following conditions:

       Arm 1 = 11 m,   Arm 2 = 11 m        Wavelength = 5.5 E-007      Ether Wind Velocity = 30,000 m/s (Earth's orbital velocity),  

       No Lorentz Contraction (= 1).  Refractive Index = 1 for all arms.  The expected result is 0.4 fringe shift. However, if there is a

       Lorentz contraction (= 0) then the experiment shows a  null result. Test other values to see how they might affect the outcome.
