Richard Hachel: The LT presumes an ether wind affects the light just as
a current in a river affects a ship.  It is invalid without an ether.
The LT is based on the ether and is pointless without it, just as it
would be pointless to use it to calculate the time it takes for a boat
to cross a pond without a current. You are necessarily presuming an
ether wind exists to conclude there is anisochrony.

The ether wind is of no interest if we replace the ether with an anisochronous vacuum.
On the other hand, once this is done the equations are then explained very well.
Note that the ether implies an absolute space supported by "something": physically and experimentally, this is absurd and all the more absurd since we no longer need all this if we posit a simple universal anisochrony.
