We present an alternative to Einstein’s explanation for the null result of the Michelson–Morley experiment. We conceptualize a concept that states, “time’s arrow is moving along a direction at a speed equal to the speed of light.” As a result, we find “there is a gap between space and time”; thus, the position of a body at a given point does not necessarily imply that the impact of that body must initiate from this point. We use this idea to explain the reasons for quantum entanglement despite the constancy of the light’s speed and the Michelson–Morley experiment.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This paper proposes an alternative explanation for the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment, challenging Einstein's theory of special relativity. The work aims to reconcile the constancy of the speed of light with the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, known as "spooky action at a distance." It introduces a concept of a "gap" between space and time, where the effect of a body may not originate from its actual position. This explanation is presented as a possible solution to the paradox between special relativity and the entanglement phenomenon, while also suggesting the existence of ether.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The paper begins by introducing the Michelson-Morley experiment and its significance in challenging the ether theory. It then explores the ether problem in the context of a thought experiment involving a train. The paper delves into the concepts of space and time, highlighting their relationship and proposing a new interpretation of their interaction. The main section, "Results and Discussion," examines the effect of ether on time, the concept of a "gap time," and the implications for the motion of bodies, including the phenomenon of entanglement. Finally, the paper concludes by presenting its alternative explanation for the Michelson-Morley experiment and its implications for understanding the nature of light, time, and the existence of ether.
