And this challenge to special relativity by airy's water filled telescope experiment
"Relativity uses the relativistic velocity addition formula, which can be derived from the Lorentz transformations between different reference frames. dot u_{x} = (u_{x} + v) / (1 + u_{x}*v / (c ^ 2)) . (7) u=u, /(1+u,v/c²), here y=1/√1-v/c based on the components in the Sun's frame, the components of the light beam in the Earth's frame are determined. Therefore, the angle of the light beam in the Earth's frame is: sin(0) tan()= u y(u, v) y(v/c+cos(0))' (9) theta = 90 deg get: sin(theta - phi) = v / c (10) In the limit case where v / c <<1, it can be approximated as: theta - phi = v / c (11) We can see that the final result obtained is consistent with the classical derivation. However, the derivation based on relativity maintains the constancy of the speed of light sqrt(u_{x} ^ 2 + u_{y} ^ 2) = c in all reference frames. In contrast, the explanations given by Bradley and Young require the assumption that the speed of light in the Sun's reference frame is c and the addition of the Earth's velocity in the Earth's reference frame. However, like the classical explanation, equation still does not agree with the results of the Airy experiment"
The dragging coefficient had to be introduced as a compensating effect, to account for the fact that there was no difference in the angle of aberration with air and with water in the telescope in Airy's experiment and the fact that no fringe shift was observed in the experiments of Hoek and of Jamin and Mascart. But the introduction of the Fresnel drag coefficient is superfluous, because if the Fresnel coefficient is NOT used for both telescopes, they would both still produce the same aberration, as seen from the rest system of the observer (Earth). This only demonstrates the (relativistically) trivial fact that for a zero angle of incidence (normal incidence) the angle of refraction is zero, too”
