Abstract

A simple relativistic treatment of Michelson-Morley type of experiments shows the remarkable internal consistency of 1932 Miller's cosmic solution v_earth ∼ 208 km/s deduced from the experimental fringe shifts observed with his apparatus. The same analysis of present-day experiments is in good agreement with the existing data.
