Michelson–Morley experiment - Wikipedia
The experiment was performed between April and July 1887 by American physicists Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley at what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and published in November of the same year.

2024年12月26日 · Michelson-Morley experiment, an attempt to detect the velocity of Earth with respect to the hypothetical luminiferous ether, a medium in space proposed to carry light waves. First performed in Germany in 1880–81 by the physicist A.A. Michelson, the test was later refined in 1887 by Michelson and Edward W. Morley in the United States.

2020年5月9日 · The Michelson-Morley experiment was performed by American scientists Albert Michelson and Edward Morley between April and July 1887. The purpose of this experiment is to prove the existence of ether. This hypothetical medium permeating space was thought to be the carrier of light waves.
The Michelson-Morley Experiment, the Luminiferous Ether, …
In 1887 Albert A. Michelson (1852-1931) and Edward W. Morley (1838-1923) performed what has become one of the most famous physics experiments in history. Using an extremely sensitive optical instrument—the interferometer—they attempted to measure Earth's velocity with respect to the luminiferous ether, a hypothetical substance that most ...

Michelson-Morley Experiment | Key Evidence & Insights
2024年5月28日 · The Michelson-Morley Experiment, conducted in 1887, stands as one of the most crucial experiments in the history of physics. Devised by Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley, this groundbreaking experiment sought to detect the presence of the ‘luminiferous aether,’ a hypothetical medium through which light waves were believed to propagate.
Albert A. Michelson & Edward W. Morley - Physics Book
2015年12月5日 · In 1887, Michelson and Morley set up an experiment to prove that an ether existed and to understand its motion relative to the Earth. The purpose of the experiment was to study the speed of light in different directions.
two Americans, Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley, performed an extremely precise experiment that failed to detect any trace of an "ether wind." The existence of such a wind had been predicted on the assumption that the earth is moving through a stationary ether.
