Does Allais Anomaly prove the existance of the Aether?

Answer 1

The Allais effect is a claimed anomalous precession of the plane of oscillation of a pendulum during a solar eclipse. It has been speculated to be unexplained by standard physical models of gravitation, but recent mainstream physics publications tend rather to posit conventional explanations for the reported observations.

The effect was first reported in 1954 by Maurice Allais, a French physicist who went on to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. He reported another observation of the effect during a 1959 solar eclipse.

Prof. Allais's explanation for this and other anomalies is that space evinces certain anisotropic characteristics, which he ascribes to the existence of an aether; he has elaborated these theories in his 1997 book "Anisotropie de l'Espace".

Answer 2

No. Those experiments have never be successfully repeated, except by experimenters (crackpots?) of dubious veracity.
