The Michelson–Morley experiment was an attempt to measure the motion of the Earth relative to the luminiferous aether, [A 1] a supposed medium permeating space that was thought to be the carrier of light waves. The experiment was performed between April and July 1887 ...
Anyway, to get to the question, I gave the flat-earther a question about how he disproves gravity, since that's the question most flat-earthers end up with. 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 ...
15 hours ago · Origins and significance Main article: History of special relativity Special relativity was described by Albert Einstein in a paper published on 26 September 1905 titled "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". [p 1] Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism appeared to be incompatible with Newtonian mechanics, and the Michelson–Morley experiment failed to detect the Earth's motion against ...

5 days ago · The Earth is Flat. For centuries, many believed Earth was flat. This notion was widely accepted until explorers and scientists proved otherwise. 01 Sailors and navigators in ancient times often feared sailing too far, lest they fall off the edge of the world. However, evidence from various voyages, especially those during the Age of Discovery ...

This is a simulation of radioactive decay which illustrates what a half-life is and explains some of the challenges involved with radiometric dating. Pennies or other cheap coins can be substituted for M&Ms if needed.
