In agreement with Michelson-Morley experiments performed in vacuum, we show that, assuming the existence of a fundamental aether frame and of a length contraction affecting the material bodies in the direction of the Earth absolute velocity, the light signals, travelling along the arms of the interferometer arrive in phase whatever their orientation, a result which responds to an objection opposed to the non-entrained aether theory. This result constitutes a strong argument in support of length contraction and of the existence of a model of aether non-entrained by the motion of celestial bodies.

In this paper we discuss further the expected results for a Michelson-Morley-type experiment with one of the arms in the vertical direction in the Earth's gravitational field. We use a rigid model for the material and we develop a dimensional analysis. Then we show that the iYinge shift due to gravitation is of the order ofwhen the interferometer is rotated through 90". When the length of the arms is Z = 1 m and the wavelength of the light is A = m, one finds Elo-''. From our analysis we prove in a simple way that the equivalence principle cancels the effects of the order of ( G M B I R ~~) ( Z / A ) .
