Special relativity is a hoax

As I already explained, I think special relativity may be wrong because the Michelson-Morley experiment can't measure a different speed of light. The rationale goes like this: since light is a particle, let assume those are ping pong balls, you are inside a car and you go at 100 km/h. You throw the ball forward and then you throw another ball to the left. You measure the speed of both and since they are the same you assume you are not moving.

The main idea of the Michelson-Morley experiment was that the speed would be different since the earth is rotating and the ether can't be rotating with earth... Why would that be true?

Also light can be a wave that propagates through ether, something that can't be seen or touched. It is consistent with the found speed of light which is the same as the speed of the electric current. Light can diffract, so diffraction would occur on ether.

Let us suppose light is a wave that propagates on ether. We already know that sound propagates on air so that it moves at a fixed speed according to the air itself, which makes it possible for the Doppler effect.

The main problem with the Michelson-Morley experiment is that light propagates in one direction and then it is reflected on a mirror and returns in the opposite direction. If it really was affected by a doppler effect in one direction, it would be nulled by the effect in the opposite direction, therefore the result will always be zero, even if the same experiment is done by waves on water.

Here is a different take: The Michelson-Morley experiment gives 30 km/s (108000 km/h) and therefore ether is real.
