    The experiment which tried to prove the existence of a mysterious medium for light called ether but failed at it. It instead proved that light does not need a medium to travel.

    actually they detected movement between 1 and 10 km/s, but it wasn't 30 km/s which they expect so that's why it was concluded as a failure.

      To raczej był wynik błędu. Z drugiej strony ich eksperyment w najmniejszym stopniu nie dowodzi, że światło nie przemieszcza się w tzw. Etherze. Ja jestem na 100% przekonany, że tak jest, bo niby dlaczego dla światła miała obowiązywać nagle inna fizyka. Wynik ich doświadczenia jest logiczny i nie mógł być inny. Wynika po prostu ze skrócenia wymiarów w kierunku ruchu i nikt nie wie w jakiej naprawdę odległości mierzonej w strukturze przestrzeni są zwierciadła oddalone od siebie. Elektron w atomie musi być w tej samej odległości czasowej od jądra - Siły są w atomie przenoszone przez fotony. Wystarczy prosta matematyka i można sobie policzyć o ile wolniej będzie zachodzić komunikacja w atomie (dylatacha czasu) i o ile wolniej będzie to w kierunku ruchu niż poprzecznie. Żeby zachowała została ta sama odległość czasowa, atom w ruchu robi się eliptyczny ( skrócenie wymiaru w kierunku ruchu)

    Hi, I'm not sure that is the only conclusion that can be made from this experiment, a null effect could result from matter been affected by the direction of the ether too, if matter arises from the ether then elongations in matter will be relative to the elongations in light waves. This would also then point to matter or more accurately particles maybe being standing wave points.

    I add some aether info as follows.
    (1) Google Demjanov's twin media (air & carbondisulphide) MMX done in Obninsk on 22 June 1970 which showed an aetherwind of 140 km/s min & 480 km/s max during a day (this was the horizontal projection of the background aetherwind which is approx 500 km/s south to north blowing approx 15 deg off Earth's spin-axis). This genius 1st order MMX was 1000 times as sensitive & accurate as the oldendays 2nd order MMXs.
    (2) The MMXs were never null.
    (3) The correct calibration needed to allow for length contraction caused by the aetherwind.
    (4) The correct calibration needed to allow for the Fresnel Drag of light by the air. Prof Reg Cahill explains.
    (5) All MMX's suffer a linear ever-growing fringe-shift that gets larger with each rotation. All MMXs that employ vertical fringes will detect this signal. This includes laser MMXs. Horizontal fringes do not suffer from this effect. Because at least one mirror has to be turned a little (horizontally) to give the desired fringes then this results in a difference in a beam's horizontal radius from the axis of rotation. Mirrors approaching the axis in effect eat waves/fringes, & mirrors going away from the axis in effect vomit waves/fringes, the eating equaling the vomiting, but in Michelson's & Miller's MMXs the non-symmetry of the beams resulted in non-equal eating/vomiting, resulting in a signal that was periodic in a full turn. The desired sought-for MMX signal (fringe shift) being periodic in a half turn. University MMXs will detect this signal if the MMX is rotated lots of times, because this signal is ever-growing, 100 rotations will give 100 times the signal that is gotten from 1 rotation. Stopping or slowing the rotation has no effect on this signal, ie it doesnt reduce this signal, the size of the signal depends only on the number of rotations, it is ever-growing. Michelson & Miller deducted this signal from their raw readings, to do so they assumed that it was linear, which it is, or, it should be, but their MMX was top-heavy & suffered from a changing lean (it floated in a mercury filled trough), plus their MMX had a sloppy pin (ie axis of rotation), hence their LEGFS was not always very linear (but that is another interesting story in its own right).
    (6) Secondly the Michelson Morley MMX, & the Morley Miller MMXs, suffered a spurious signal that was periodic in a full turn. This was because their mirrors were at two levels, hence some of their light beams had to angle up & later down. This then introduced a spurious signal (fringe shift) due to angle contraction of the mirrors in their apparatus, which changed the effective lengths of the angled beams. I call such angle contraction Esclangon angle contraction, as Esclangon is i think the first person to bring it to the attention of science (but he didn't mention that it must also happen in an MMX). EAC is due to Lorentzian Length Contraction of solids (which should be called FitzGerald LC as FitzGerald was the first to predict it) which is due to any change in the aetherwind blowing throo a solid (which changes the size/shape of solids)(because solids are held together by electric forces)(these forces being affected by the wind).

      "If the Michelson-Morley experiment had not brought us into serious embarrassment, no one would have regarded the relativity theory as a (halfway) redemption."
      -Albrecht Fölsing (1998). Albert Einstein: A Biography
      "The two sentences, 'the sun is at rest and the Earth moves', or 'the sun moves and the Earth is at rest', would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different Coordinate Systems. Could we build a real relativistic physics valid in all Coordinate Systems; a physics in which there would be no place for absolute, but only for relative, motion? This is indeed possible!"

    Please help me, I just cant understand why the horizintal ray of light (parallel to the ether) is slower that the vertical one. Is it because it hits the half reflective mirror slightly earlier (due to its direction of travel changing slightly) or something that I am not seeing here?
    Thank you in advance!!!

    • @lightninlad
      @lightninlad ปีที่แล้ว

      No, you’re confusion is actually the result of realizing that the speed of light cannot be constant if one light beam hits the reflector earlier than the other one. You weren’t the first person to notice this. Others criticized Einstein when he introduced his Special Relativity:
      “The principle of relativity accounts for the negative result of the experiment of Michelson and Morley but without an ether how do we account for the interference phenomena, which made that experiment possible?“
      Source: William F. Magie, “The Primary Concepts of Physics,” Science, vol. XXXV, Feb. 23, 1912, cited in Loyd S. Swenson, Jr., The Ethereal Ether, 1972, p. 177.
      Congratulations-you have just discovered that this experiment only works BECAUSE the ether exists and that someone has been blowing smoke up your ass. That’s really the answer to why you are so confused. Let me explain.
      You see the experiment was considered a “failure” but NOT because it didn’t detect the ether. It DID detect it. It detected a 0.02 fringe on the photogenic plate. That’s not the issue. The issue is that it didn’t detect the 0.4 fringe they were hoping to find:
      “The experiments on relative motion of earth and ether have been completed and the result is decidedly negative. The expected deviation of the interference fringes from the zero should have been 0.40 of a fringe - the maximum displacement was ⭐️0.02⭐️ and the average much less than 0.01 - and then not in the right place. As displacement is proportional to squares of the relative velocities it follows that if the ether does slip past [the Earth] the relative velocity is less than one sixth of the Earth’s velocity.”
      (Source: Letter dated August 17, 1887, from the Rayleigh Archives, cited in Dorothy M. Livingston, The Master of Light: A Biography of Albert A. Michelson, 1973, p. 130.)
      You see Michelson is calling it a “negative result” not because the ether was detected…no…he’s calling it a null result because the revolution of the earth around the Sun was not detected! To show that the earth revolves around the Sun, you need to have a 0.40 fringe on the reflector plate.
      No why would it be the case that you could only detect a .02 fringe when you need to detect a 0.4 fringe? 🤔
      Captain Obvious says:
      Because the earth isn’t moving around the sun.
      Does that help?
      So now you’re getting the big reason behind Special and General Relativity. It’s all a shell game to hide the fact that what Michelson-Morley had discovered was that the Earth is not revolving around the Sun-it is the Sun that is revolving around the earth. Which means that the earth is at the center of the known universe. I kid you not.

    Awesomely explained Sir, Thanks for such a wonderful video. I had a question though, if the central mirror is half reflective, then when the reflected light from two mirrors (at 90 degrees) falls on it, half of it should combine and fall on the detector and other half should reflect back, is this understanding correct? Though this observation should not make any difference to the result of the experiment.

      @lightninlad ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There WAS interference.
      The ether was positively detected in the form of a 0.02 fringe on the photogenic plate in the experiment:
      “The experiments on relative motion of earth and ether have been completed and the result is decidedly negative. The expected deviation of the interference fringes from the zero should have been 0.40 of a fringe - the maximum displacement was ⭐️0.02⭐️and the average much less than 0.01 - and then not in the right place. As displacement is proportional to squares of the relative velocities it follows that if the ether does slip past [the Earth] the relative velocity is less than one sixth of the Earth’s velocity.”
