Paper 44: Revisiting Michelson–Morley: Coherence, Rotation, and the Hidden Structure of Spacetime

This paper reinterprets the famous Michelson–Morley experiment in light of Holosphere Theory, which proposes that spacetime is a structured, rotating lattice that transmits angular phase coherence rather than linear motion. The null result traditionally taken to disprove the aether is reframed as evidence for a medium whose internal symmetry and memory make motion through it undetectable by first-order measurements. We show that triadic rotation, phase-locked coherence, and quantized angular memory within the Holosphere lattice naturally produce isotropy in the measured speed of light. The experiment’s null result is thus not a dismissal of structure, but a confirmation of coherence-preserving propagation. We further propose that modern platforms—such as optical cavities, gyroscopic metamaterials, and Josephson junction arrays—may be capable of detecting second-order coherence strain, defect propagation, and winding number closure. This work bridges 19th-century interferometry with 21st-century coherence physics and supports the broader Holosphere framework connecting relativistic invariance, vacuum structure, and angular memory.
