Because the two beams of light had the same frequency, even a 90-degree phase offset would have been optimized by the glass shrinking the phase difference to nothing.

The Dispersion Relation (The "Rainbow" Test)
How can stars so far away still be points of light?
Compatible because light is not a fundamental force. It emerges from fundamental properties of space. The required size is a measurement about space itself.
The math used to describe particle-vortex (for example spintronic memory) when applied to these smaller than Planck scale grains of space can derive the standard model particles and waves.
The "Vacuum Friction" Problem
Why doesn’t the earth slow down?
Compatible because the “particles” are holes. The problem is symmetric.
Electrons do not move when they change valence levels. The atom does not move either. What moves is the potential area to observe these particles using the electromagnetic spectrum.
Waves of stresses in space move. Observing them is an interaction which packetizes the stress. Packetizing of waves requires a non-linear response of the medium. The Lorentz transformation is a measure of the non-linear response.
The Baryogenesis "Chirality" Test
Why don’t we see equal amounts of matter and antimatter?
Superior because an asymmetric creation of anti-holes in space is reasonable
The "Bell's Inequality" Escape Hatch
How can entanglement work when all possibilities have been ruled out?
Superior because faster than light momentum transfer travel occurs.
It is even “known” to occur with the rate of expansion of space.
This “known” expansion needs to be re-analyzed because there are now more explanations for red shift.
The Cosmological Constant "Catastrophe"
How can a vacuum have enormous pressure?
Superior because a large constant is nearly the opposite of the expectation.
It's not catastrophic, it's strongly supportive of a solid space theory.
Gravity as Refraction (The Lens Test)
Is the theory compatible with the experimentally verified curvature of light?
Compatible because lensing is a measurement of space material density
Huygen Optics has a YouTube video about the gravitational index of refraction
The Casimir Effect Validation
Superior because pressure from space itself is reasonable as opposed to unexpected.
The required size of the effect is a measurement about space itself.
Origin theory
Is the origin theory at least as reasonable as the big bang?
Yes, but it's speculation
The solid (rigid lattice) which is space must have existed before light was created. The stress waves must have a source which (after some period of time) resulted in an expanding space with waves traveling in every direction.
No one has attempted to mathematically model the possible solutions.
But, if the big bang was a single point source, the universe has boundaries that reflect the waves and possibly a very small 4th physical dimension too close for the knots to untie. (the first 2025 version)
One possible alternative, the universe goes through cycles of expansion and contraction. The waves of momentum originate traveling inward from all directions. (only 3 physical dimensions)
