- This is a brief story about the Michelson-Morley experiment, the experiment that initially was done to determine the earth's speed relative to a luminiferous ether. However, the results of the experiment suggested that there was no ether whatsoever, and left the door open for Einstein later on to publish his special theory of relativity.
Your program simplifies and explains the famous M/M experiment superbly. Thanks a million.
I see you conveniently avoided the M&M reference sir , The Missed Opportunity Police wants to know your location .
When I saw the title, I guessed that it would be the M-M experiment, but I have never seen any details of how it was performed. This video has enlightened me (pardon the pun), so thank you for your clear explanation of their method and apparatus.
Well said!
Nicely explained, especially with the swimmers analogy.
Built that in Lego for my physics classes, the rebuilt it with 2020s and 3D printed parts when my son wanted his Lego back
That's awesome! I did this experiment in Physics 101 while covering optics when I was in college
Great video
Great video......can you make a video on Retrocausality
Task failed successfully
Exactly what I’ve said before
Let's do the Michelson-Morley experiment on a school bus and determine the speed in a straight line - this is exactly the experiment Einstein dreamed of. Perhaps we will see the postulates: “Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and Dominant gravitational fields control the speed of light in a vacuum.” There is a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, two coils with optical fiber, where the light in each arm travels 18,000 meters, without exceeding the parameters of 0.4/0.4/0.4 meters and mass - 4 kg.
Most don't understand that the realization the aether might be undetectable was the actual breakthrough. Accepting that and moving on was the genius of M-M's paper.
An aether that is undetectable is exactly like an aether that does not exist right ?
@@freedom_aint_free Non-falsifiable hypothesis are the best!
I first heard of this experiment in senior High School.
It is a classic demonstration that negative results when testing a scientific theory is a bad thing.
Learning of this experiment was my first introduction to the true application of scientific method.
I wonder what it must have been like to challenge the assumptions of the titans of the time. I've worked with a few titans in their fields (for better or worse). Ego was not a rare commodity. Nor was arrogance and bluster.
I enjoy kayaking because it involves waves in 3 forms; gravitational, water and air all at the same time.

Problem was rhe ether is staric. It flows into and out if the Earth. Vertically
You neglected to describe the size of the interferometer and that it was resting on a pool of mercury to isolate it from mechanical vibrations in the lab. Imagine how the EPA and/or OSHA today would prohibit playing around such a large pool of exposed mercury... like where have even all the sealed thermometers gone, not to mention mercury barometers.
No, he did indeed mention it was floating on mercury. Mercury is still regularly used in labs and it's not banned by the EPA or OSHA. You can just buy some online too if you want to play with it or replicate the experiment.
How's that for being profound?
This guy is such a G
Light is a cluster of expanding electrons. “The Final Theory: Rethinking Our Scientific Legacy “, Mark McCutcheon for proper physics including the CAUSE of gravity, electricity, magnetism, light and well..... everything.
Notice how that is a book and not a peer reviewed paper. No one cares about fan-fiction, kiddo. Also, saying that light is a cluster of expanding electrons is a testable hypothesis which on it's very face seems to have been disproven literally billions of times with our measurements and production of both photons and electrons. What you are saying is incoherent.
@@filonin2 A proton is a collection of 1836 expanding electrons and add a bouncing expanding electron makes a hydrogen atom. “G” calculated from first principles- the hydrogen atom- in 2002. Not an empirical measurement like Cavendish and many since. All atoms and atomic objects are expanding at 1/770,000th their size per second per second constant acceleration. Multiplied by earth’s radius equals 16 feet etc.: gravity. Any accelerometer- slinky, water balloon,phone app- experiment Proves the earth is expanding at 16 feet etc. Gravity is simple Galilean relative motion. The earth is approaching the released object (apple). 180 from the status quo. See Copernicus-180 from Ptolemy. Progress, which somehow upsets your apple cart. All Standard Theory/Model was replaced by Expansion Theory in 2002. Now you “have the memo.” Good luck and goodbye, hypocrite. PS - who “peer reviewed “ Newton ad nauseum? Laugh.
@@filonin2 “Arguing from ignorance “ quite popular on the TH-cam. Read first then comment. Laugh.
@@davidrandell2224 extraordinary claims need extraordinary evidence , the brunt of the responsibility of providing evidence is on the person who claims it . He does not read if it is not experimentally verifiable . Is it verifiable ?
@@PluetoeInc. A prism is a mass spectrometer with the red portion bending the least due to larger size/mass. Light is a cluster of expanding electrons. P=mv or for light p=mc which ‘propels’ solar sails. For light- particles, objects, matter- to bounce off a mirror even once ( it can bounce many times before dispersing) violates the ‘law of the conservation of energy.” No problem: no energy, charge, photons, waves, spin, fields, potential, quantum,quarks, space, time, space-time etc; All Standard Theory/Model was replaced by Expansion Theory in 2002. Forgotten Physics website uncovers the hidden variables and constants and the bad math of Wien, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Einstein, Debroglie,Planck, Bohr etc. This relates to the ‘photon’ picture of modern physics- incorrectly (the false energy paradigm)- but is still important to the composition of light. Scroll down to “Double Your Kinetic Energy:......” to footnote/ reference #18 if “peer review “ is useful for setting things straight.
Dude, you are killin me! I cannot fault you for not knowing this, but light does not travel. There are no light waves or particles as defined by the wonks that throw those terms around they way they do. The so called speed of light is much better described as a rate of induction, but even that is fundamentally lacking. Nobody understands what light really is because, believe it or not, you cannot see it! The only thing your eyes can perceive are illusory reflections that seem to bounce off the surface of all matter, and you and everyone else calls this 'light'. I got news for ya... Your desk, your computer, even your body, are all made of 'hard light'. I don't think you realize how much your entertaining clips intellectually impoverish the people who believe this nonsense and as a result, continue to be misled and mis-educated, all the while heaping unearned accolades on the progenitors of such horseshit. Study the work of Walter Russell. Make clips about that if there is anything in that stuff you can comprehend. Everyone deserves a second chance. Here's yours. Don't waste the opportunity I am offering you here. And don't be intimidated by the material either. You can get it, it just takes effort. Anything you desire is within your reach, even if you don't believe it to be so. If you do a decent job you can probably double your earnings too, because Russell left behind a treasure trove of answers and in all of that (a damn near bottomless chasm of inspiring awe) you will not be able to find even one contradiction. Everyone gets a lollypop for trying. Not since Christ has any person with a similar potential walked the Earth. What was his, can be yours.
What about variation in distance to mirrors accounting for phase shift? Afterall, we are talking about a single photon.
