>that is the insane solution when an alternative hypothesis exists which states that a ether doesn’t exist and the experiments can be explained by lorentz invariance
There's an even less insane solution that doesn't require giving up classical mechanics, and only requires a basic understanding of waves instead.

Gravity is a pushing force. That's the secret to gravitational warp.

The speed of gravity is finite. It's just much, much faster than the speed of light.

Yes. I don't understand how I can keep posting this in every thread and there are still people on this board who haven't seen it.

Start with Sommerfeld's quantum mechanics, then strip out all of the parts involving relativity and Maxwell's equations, and replace them with Weber's electrodynamics. Vannevar Bush made a good start on this with his paper The Force Between Moving Charges (treating charge as velocity-dependent, mass as invariant). There's a massive amount of work yet to be done, but that's the way forward.

If you want an education in real, scientific physics I recommend: Classical mechanics, optics, fluid dynamics, and Weber's electrodynamics. For quantum mechanics there's no good resource but if you study Sommerfeld you'll at least be less worse off than with a more modern treatment. Generally speaking, try to avoid books that are heavy on theory and stick to one that describe experimental results. I've found certain history books to be better sources on physics than textbooks.

Weber's electrodynamics is incompatible with special relativity. So the top physicist in the Pentagon for decades wrote a paper that not only unified nuclear physics and electromagnetism, but did so using methods that explicitly rejected mainstream quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and relativity. Do you think he then went into the Pentagon after writing that paper and decided that his entire understanding of physics was actually wrong, and that mainstream academia was right?

Every single black budget project in the Pentagon ultimately reported to Vannevar Bush. Do you really need me to spell this out for you?

I have a degree in physics and my work is still ignored. I have an invention that can produce renewable energy cheaper than any existing form of energy as well, and that's also been ignored.

Because he knew it was wrong
