Or maybe an invisible pink unicorn is sneaking into the lab at night and tweaking things.

QM posits that fields which constitute matter and fields which constitute EM are both manifestations of an underlying phenomenon — that’s the whole idea behind unification. (And we’ve already successfully unified such fields.) My comment is just applying that theory to interpreting the Michelson-Morley experiment.

Please don’t reply with such trite anti-scientific comments, which conflate actual scientific claims with nonsense.

If you have an actual objection, then you should present it. But argument by mockery because you fail to understand modern physics lowers the quality of the discussion.
