Adialeiptometry means unceasing or continuous measurements. We have
carried out continuous measurements with a stationary
Michelson-Morley interferometer at our CIF laboratory in Bogota
(Colombia) for almost two years from the end of 2003 to June 2005.
The paper reports the results for year 2004, during which
we identified large periodical fringe-shifts, after correcting for
environmental variables. To provide a context for the new
experimental results presented in this paper, we start by
discussing the meaning of speed of light at the time of Einstein,
and present next the evidence then available for its constancy. We
argue that the evidence provided by the original MM experiment and
its repetitions is not as strong as usually believed, thus
justifying a new experiment that corrects for the main weaknesses
uncovered. The observed periodical variations are consistent with
the predicted curves using a constant speed of light in a preferred
frame, that adds vectorially to the laboratory velocity using
Galilean addition. The solar motion that explains our observations
is similar to other modern estimates of solar velocity.
