  • the electromagnetic output produced by the relative motion of a magnet and an induction coil is the same whether the magnet is moved or whether the coil is moved (a finding of James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic theory) and;

  • the failure to demonstrate that the motion of the Earth adds any additional speed to a light beam moving ahead of the Earth's orbital trajectory (presumably an oblique reference to the 1887 Michelson-Morley experiment).
