“…Now that we have understood the basic notions of the NET the reader can verify that this theory also explains the aberration of light, the Fizeau experiment [43,44,45], the Ives-Stilwell experiment [111,112,113], etc. Therefore, we believe that we have reached a point where we are allowed to express that the same amount of kinematical experiments that validates SR, at the same time, also corroborates the NET.…”

From the customary view the Michelson-Morley experiment is used to expose the failure of the aether theory. The key point in this experiment is the fringe shift of the interference pattern. Regularly, the fringe shift calculations are only presented from the perspective of the inertial frame where the one-way speed of light is anisotropic which gives a partial vision of the problem. In a spirit of revision of these facts we have meticulously analyzed the physics behind them. As a result, an angular effect which is based on Huyghens principle and plays a fundamental role in the reflection of light waves at moving mirrors is incorporated. Moreover, under the assumption of a null result in the experiment, on the one hand, the fringe shift conditions demand actual relativistic effects; on the other, it is confirmed that Maxwell's electrodynamics and Galilean relativity are incompatible formulations. From these two points at least three inertial theories follow: (1) the special theory of relativity (SR), ( 2) a new aether theory (NET) based on the Tangherlini transformations and (3) emission theories based on Ritz' modification of electrodynamics. A brief review of their physical content is presented and the problem of the aether detection as well as the propagation of light, within the context of SR and the NET, are discussed. Despite the overwhelming amount of evidences that apparently favors SR we claim that there are no strong reasons to refuse the aether which conceived as a continuous material medium, still stands up as a physical reality and could be physically associated with dark matter, the cosmic background radiation and the vacuum condensates of particle physics.

This paper focuses on applying the algebra of octonions to study some coordinate transformations in octonion spaces, exploring the contribution of partial field potential on the speed of light. Maxwell was the first to introduce the quaternions to describe the physical properties of electromagnetic fields. Nowadays, the octonions can be applied to study simultaneously the physical quantities of electromagnetic and gravitational fields, including the transformation between two coordinate systems. In the octonion space, the radius vector can be combined with the integrating function of field potential to become one composite radius vector. The latter is considered as the radius vector in an octonion composite space, which belongs to the function spaces. In the octonion composite space, when there is a relative motion between two coordinate systems, it is capable of deducing the Galilean-like transformation and Lorentz-like transformation. From the two transformations, one can achieve not only the influence of relative speed on the speed of light (or Sagnac effect) but also the impact of partial electromagnetic potential on the speed of light. The study states that the partial electromagnetic potential has a direct influence on the speed of light in the optical waveguides, revealing several influencing factors of refractive indices in the optical waveguides.
