3 days ago · The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether, a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves.
3 days ago · The Fizeau experiment (1851, repeated by Michelson and Morley in 1886) measured the speed of light in moving media, with results that are consistent with relativistic addition of colinear velocities.
In quite a long discussion we got to the ether, where he tried to say that the Michelson-Morley experiment proves the existence of the aether, which of course is a lie and he was unable to provide evidence for his claim. Next he classically brought up Dayton Miller and tried to misquote various famous physicists.
4 days ago · Beginning in the 1880s several experiments were performed to try to detect this motion, the most famous of which is the experiment performed by Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley in 1887. [151] [152] The detected motion was found to always be nil (within observational error).

Apr 28, 2024 · A: The Michelson-Morley experiment was a scientific experiment conducted in the late 19th century to measure the motion of the Earth through the hypothetical luminiferous ether, which was believed to be the medium through which light waves traveled.
Apr 17, 2024 · The famous Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 finally proved this wrong, by determining the aether didn’t make any difference to the speed of light when the Earth was at different points in its orbit. As a result, physicists sought new explanations for the behavior of light, which led to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity in 1905. 3.
