Abstract
In this paper tests by Maxwell and Gift that search for a preferred frame or ether arising from movement through that frame using Jupiters moon Io are reviewed and discussed. Unlike the Michelson-Morley second-order experiment which unsuccessfully attempted to detect the orbital motion of the Earth relative to the ether, these tests are both first-order and therefore are unaffected by the second-order effects of length contraction and clock retardation. The test by Maxwell utilizes the delay in the eclipse of Io as the Earth orbits the Sun in an attempt to detect ether drift resulting from the galactic movement of the Sun. This test requires a 6-year duration for its full execution and was never performed because of practical difficulties. The test first presented by Gift can be conducted over a few days and employs the observed variation of the period of Io as the Earth moves toward or away from Jupiter. The result is a positive detection of ether drift arising from the orbital motion of the Earth. The detected ether drift is evidence of a preferred frame which we argue corresponds to the solar system barycentric or sun-centered inertial (SCI) frame.

1. Introduction
The luminiferous ether, a medium permeating all space and considered to be the carrier of light waves, was believed to exist based on evidence accumulated over many years [1] [2]. This belief was reinforced by the discovery of electromagnetic waves in 1879, in which Maxwell correctly predicted travel through this medium at speed c = 1 εoµo where the electric permittivity εo and the mag-

netic permeability µo are defined and measurable characteristics of that medium. Michelson and Morley, in their famous experiment of 1887 [3], searched
for direct evidence of the ether. This experiment utilized interfering beams of
light that travelled along orthogonal paths on a movable apparatus. The system
was designed to reveal the speed of the Earths orbital motion through the hy-
pothesized ether based on changes in light speed resulting from movement with
or against the associated ether wind. The predicted fringe shift δ is given by [4]
2(v c)2
δ=
(1)
λl
where v is the orbital speed of the Earth through the ether, l is the arm length of the interferometer and λ is the wavelength of the light. The observed fringe
shift was significantly less than that expected as a result of the orbiting Earth and this essentially null result was interpreted as an indication of light speed constancy in all directions on the surface of the Earth and hence the nonexistence of an ether. This idea of light speed constancy later formed the foundation of the special theory of relativity which directly prohibits an ether (or preferred frame).
A well-known characteristic of Michelson-Morley type experiments (in a vacuum) that is evident in Equation (1) is they are second-order, i.e. the effect to be observed is proportional to (v2/c2), since the light travels out-and-back resulting in the cancellation of first-order effects. Thus, if the (one-way) distance travelled by the light is l and the initial direction of light travel is coincident with the direction of movement of the Earth, then the time to travel this path and return to the start is given by
t = l + l = 2lc c v c + v c2 v2

The difference ∆t between this time and the time in the absence of motion is given by

(3)
As can be seen from (3), there are no first-order effects in this out-and-back result with only second-order effects remaining. Such experiments are therefore directly affected by the second-order effects of time dilation [5] and length contraction [6] thereby rendering them unreliable for the detection of ether drift. In fact, Gift [7] and Levy [8] have shown that in an ether theory, two-way light speed measurement will always give the light speed in the underlying light-carrying ether medium, a finding that is independent of the movement of the platform on which the measurement is made. This amazing result means that in the framework of an ether theory, two-way light speed measurement will always give a constant value, even though the one-way light speed is not! This two-way light speed constancy has been experimentally confirmed [9]. It gives the illusion of one-way light speed constancy [7] and therefore the perception of the nonexistence of the ether.

Towards the detection of ether drift, Maxwell had long ago argued that first-order experiments are superior for this action [10]. However, in a paper in Nature marking the centenary of the introduction of the theory of relativity, Stachel stated [11] “all attempts to detect the translational motion of the Earth through the ether by means of optical, electrical or magnetic effects consistently failed. Lorentz succeeded in explaining why: according to his theory, no such effect should be detectable by any experiment sensitive to first order in (v/c) where v is the speed of the moving object through the ether and c is the speed of light in that medium.” This statement about Lorentzs theory is misleading.
What this theory in fact established is that in experiments utilizing closed light paths, no first-order effects are detectable since in such experiments first-order terms cancel as discussed earlier [12]. Lorentz, who was aware of the failure of the Michelson-Morley experiment, stated [13], “The problem of determining the influence exerted on electric and optical phenomena by a translation, such as all systems have in virtue of the Earths annual motion, admits of a comparatively simple solution, so long as only those terms need be taken into account, which are proportional to the first power of the ratio between the velocity of translation v and the velocity of light c. Cases in which quantities of the second order, i.e. of the order v2/c2, may be perceptible, present more difficulties.” Contrary to Stachel therefore, Lorentz actually recommended first-order experiments in attempts to detect movement through the ether. Maxwell indeed suggested a first-order method to detect the movement of the solar system through the ether using the delay in the eclipse time of Jupiters satellite Io first observed by Roemer [14]. It required six years for its execution and was not pursued at the time because of inadequate equipment sensitivity.
In this paper we review and discuss two first-order tests for detecting ether drift. The first is the test suggested by Maxwell [4] [15] that seeks to detect movement of the Sun through the ether by utilizing the eclipses of Jupiters satellite Io. A modification is suggested that shortens the duration of the test from 6 years to 6 months. The second is a first-order test first discussed by Gift [16] which utilizes variations in the period of Jupiters satellite Io to detect the orbital movement of the Earth relative to the ether, the movement that Michelson and Morley tried unsuccessfully to detect. Maxwells approach requires 6 years and was never conducted while Gifts approach requires only a few days and gives a confirmed positive result.
2. Detection of the Galactic Motion of the Sun Using Maxwells Experiment
In an 1875 entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica in support of the ether and its existence [10], Maxwell wrote “If it were possible to determine the velocity of light by observing the time it takes to travel between one station and another, we might by comparing the observed velocities in opposite directions, determine the velocity of the ether with respect to these terrestrial stations.” Recognizing

the difficulty of this exercise since it involved second-order methods, Maxwell later suggested a first-order experiment for detecting movement of the Sun through the ether that involves observing the eclipses of Jupiters moon Io [4] [15].
Consider Figure 1 where the Earth and planet Jupiter orbit the Sun which is moving with velocity v in the direction shown. Since Jupiter has a period of 12 (terrestrial) years, in half a year as Earth moves from A to B, Jupiter moves only a short distance from A' in its orbit. Therefore, by timing the delay of consecutive eclipses of Io with Earth first at A and moving later to B, then the time t1 for light to traverse the path from A to B a distance equal to the diameter l of the Earths orbit can be determined. In this case the solar system would be moving towards the occulting light at speed v and hence light speed would be c + v . This time is given by
t1
=
c
l +
v
(4)
Six years later when Jupiter is at point B' in its orbit, the measurement of eclipse delay is repeated with Earth initially at B and later at A. This would again give the time t2 for the light to travel from B to A at speed c v since the solar system would be moving away from the occulting light at speed v relative to the ether. This time is given by
l
t2 = c v

The difference between these times ∆t = t2 t1 is given by

where to = l c . This result (7) is first-order and therefore unaffected by secondorder effects of clock retardation and length contraction as is the second-order
result given in Equation (1) of the Michelson-Morley experiment although both
experiments seek to detect a velocity v. Using the orbital speed of the Sun as =v 2.3×105 m s and to = 1000 s (since the time for light to travel from the
Sun to the Earth is 500s), then the predicted time change is given by
∆t 2×1000× 2.3×105 = 1.5 s 2.998 ×108
(8)
This experiment was never performed because of the inaccuracies associated
with uncontrolled variables such as variations in the orbits of Jupiter and the
Earth over two 6-month periods six years apart.
A modification of Maxwells experiment that reduces the time over which the
measurements must be made from 6 years to 6 months is to use one of the ec-
lipse-delay measurements say t1 and compare it with the time to for light to travel across the diameter of the Earths orbit at speed c given by to = l c . This latter time has been independently determined and is known. The difference
between these times ∆t1 = to t1 is the time change caused by motion of the Sun and is given by
∆t1 =
l l c c+v
=
l(c +v c) c(c +v)
=

c(c +v)
(9)
This reduces to

A time difference ∆t2 = t2 to using the eclipse-delay measurement t2 can also be computed and is given by

lv
c(c v)
(11)
This reduces to
∆t2
v to c , v

(12)
which is the same as (10). Thus, either delay t1 or t2 can be used but both are not required thereby eliminating the 6-year wait. While the predicted time delay
in (10) and (12) is half of the value predicted in (7) in the original experiment,
the time to is simply twice the time for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth at speed c, a value that has been independently determined. Therefore, there is
no need to spend 6 years conducting the test; it can be completed in the six-month
period required for the measurement of t1 or t2 . Using the orbital speed of the Sun as =v 2.3×105 m s and to = 1000 s , the expected time change arising
from motion of the Sun is
∆t
2.3 × 105 1000 × 2.998×108 = 0.77 s

This can easily be measured using modern atomic clocks which are both accurate and stable. Therefore, we suggest that Maxwells first-order experiment in this modified form be repeated in order to detect ether drift associated with the galactic movement of the Sun since it can be conducted over a period of six months instead of six years.
3. Detection of the Orbital Motion of the Earth Using Roemers Observation
A method which like Maxwells experiment utilizes the eclipses of Io but
represents a major improvement of that test since it can be conducted in a few
days, is one that is based on an important observation by Roemer. In 1676 Roe-
mer observed that Io undergoes a regular variation in its period of revolution
about Jupiter as the Earth orbits the Sun. As the Earth approaches Jupiter, the
satellites period decreases while as the Earth recedes from Jupiter, the satellites
period increases. Gift used this observation to detect ether drift [16] arising from
the Earths orbital motion, precisely the motion that the Michelson-Morley ex-
periment tried unsuccessfully to detect. Now as seen from the Earth, Io is pe-
riodically eclipsed by Jupiter thereby resulting in the emission of what can be
viewed as “pulses of darkness” that travel to Earth at speed c relative to the
ether as Io orbits Jupiter. These pulses are represented in Figure 2.
The distance between successive pulses is fixed at a value λo and is related to the period To by the equation
To
=
λo c
(14)
When the Earth is moving directly towards Jupiter at speed v in its orbit around
the Sun, based on ether theory the speed of the pulses relative to the Earth is
c + v and because of this increased speed, the observed period TA (recorded time between pulses) is shorter than To since the pulses are received more quickly. The observed period is given by
TA
=
λo c+v
(15)
The measured reduction in the period ∆T = To TA is then given by

When the Earth is moving directly away from Jupiter, the speed of the pulses
relative to the Earth is c v and because of the decreased speed, the observed
period TB is longer than To and is given by
TB

The measured increase in the period ∆TB = TB To is then given by

which is identical to (17). Equations (17) and (20) can therefore be written as the ether-drift equation
∆T

(21)
Equation (21) in this test predicts Ios period change ∆T while Equation (1) of
the Michelson-Morley experiment predicts interferometer phase shift δ given
by
δ

v2 c2
(1)
Both Equations (21) and (1) seek to detect ether drift arising from the orbital
motion of the Earth.
The measured period changes have been experimentally determined for Io
and other orbiting satellites and are represented in the form of an observational
relationship given by Hoyle ([17], p191): “The fractional changing of the orbital
period of a satellite is simply the ratio of the speed of the Earths motion to the
speed of light.” This relationship can be stated as
∆T = v
(22)
To c
The empirical Equation (22) corresponds exactly to and therefore fully confirms the ether-drift Equation (21). Since the full dynamics of the orbits of Io and Earth are known, Ios period changes as detected on the Earth can be easily computed using classical mechanics: Consider the case of Earth moving directly away from Jupiter. During the time To taken for the arrival of two successive pulses at the position of the Earth where the first pulse is received, the Earth travels a distance vTo beyond this point. Since c v , the additional time ∆TB needed for the second pulse to travel the additional distance vTo to the Earth at speed c is ∆TB = vTo c . This result is exactly the ether-drift Equation (21) and again confirms ether drift arising from the orbital motion of the Earth. This

first-order method involving Roemers observation of satellite period change has
succeeded where the second-order method of Michelson and Morley utilizing
interferometer phase shift failed.
The observed period change for Io can be found from (22). Using Ios period
To = 152850.2 s (1.7691 days) and the orbital speed of the Earth =v 2.978×104 m s , the observed change ∆T in Ios period is given by

(23)
This means that Ios period is observed to decrease and increase by a maximum of 15.2 s as the Earth approaches then retreats from Jupiter in the Earths orbit around the Sun. Using this measured change ∆T =15.2 s in the ether-drift Equation (21), we can evaluate the Earths orbital velocity giving
v = c ∆T = 2.998×108 × 15.2 = 2.98×104 m s
(24)
To
152, 841.6
The value in (24) is the measured orbital speed of the Earth and this (approx-
imately) translational motion has been detected using Equation (21) based on
Roemers observation. It is exactly the speed that the second-order Michel-
son-Morley experiment [3] represented by Equation (1) failed to detect and that
Stachel [11] claimed cannot be detected using first-order methods.
These observed changes in Ios period occur as a result of the changes in light
speed relative to the moving Earth as the light travels through the ether. These
period changes given in (17) and (20) confirm the changed light speeds c ± v
relative to the Earth given in Equations (15) and (18). This can be demonstrated
using actual data for Io but light speed variation can be shown more generally.
In order to accomplish this, consider the case of the Earth moving towards Jupiter. Then the speed of light c+ relative to the Earth is given by
c+ = λo

which is Equation (18). The variable light speeds (27) and (30) relative to the Earth negate any explanation of the Roemer effect based on special relativity since in this theory, variable light speed is prohibited.
The detected ether drift is evidence of a preferred frame, which we suggest corresponds to the solar system barycentric or sun-centered inertial (SCI) frame. This is a frame that moves with the Sun but does not rotate with it and provides a convenient reference frame for a range of astronomical events. In particular, the orbital ephemerides of the planets and other bodies in the solar system are determined using a set of equations operating within this reference frame [18] [19] [20]. Based on data sets collected over a period of more than half a century of measurement, it has been determined that light travels at a constant speed c in the SCI frame. Therefore, we conclude that the ether drift detected by the satisfaction of Equation (21) using changes of Ios period arising from the orbital motion of the Earth, through a medium in which light travels at speed c, reveals a preferred frame that corresponds to the SCI frame.
4. Conclusions
This paper discussed two first-order tests employing Jupiters satellite Io for the detection of movement through the ether. These tests are Maxwells experiment for detecting the movement of the solar system through the ether and Gifts test employing Roemers observation for detecting the Earths orbital motion through the ether. Maxwells experiment requires 6 years and has never been performed while the test by Gift can be performed in a few days. The results of the latter approach yield successful detection of ether drift associated with the Earths orbital motion and a confirmation of the existence of a preferred frame which we argue corresponds to the SCI frame. Therefore, the suggestion by Stachel [11] that first-order methods cannot detect translational motion of the Earth through the ether is shown to be false.
Also, the existence of this preferred frame violates a major tenet of relativity theory where the equivalence of all frames is demanded. Indeed, Albert Einstein in the fifth edition of his book “Relativity: The Special and the General Theory” first published in 1916 declared “But on the basis of the theory of relativity… there can be no aether-drift, nor any experiment with which to demonstrate it.” The successful detection of ether drift renders this declaration also false, particularly as light speed variation relative to the orbiting Earth has been confirmed.
Thus, in view of the considerable body of theoretical, experimental and observational evidence that supports light wave transmission through an all-pervasive medium [1] [2], particularly the discovery of electromagnetic waves with speed set by measurable characteristics of that medium, this positive detection of movement through that medium (corresponding to the SCI frame) for orbital

motion of the Earth using variations in the period of Io described in this paper, represents further confirmation of the invalidity of the relativistic worldview as argued by many [21]-[28]. It will hopefully stimulate research into the nature and properties of the luminiferous ether.
