Astronomy - Ch. 31: What is Space Made of? (4 of 15) Aether and the Michelson-Morley Exp.: Part 1

To donate:

We will learn the aether and the Michelson-Marley experiment and its calculation of trying to show space is made of aether. Part 1

Next video in this series can be seen at:

I needed every second of this lecture, this is going down as one of my favourite on this channel. Professor, I greatly appreciate you and your staff for making learning enjoyable. I guess you know you are my favourite professor.

Second order effects were ignored. The beam emitter is to the left, the telescope has the eye at the bottom. Half-silvered mirrors were used.

If not Ether, space has to have some medium which limits motion of EM & gravitational waves. I guess this medium is made of microscopic mass, electric & magnetic particles moving at light speed in all directions. Above waves don't move in the medium, they move with the medium.

Hi sir I'm First . Your content is unique and Awesome

So, would the distortion of space-time affect the path of light the same for all frequencies of light ? i.e. radio waves ? I suppose that radio astronomy has to take this into account

Thanks sir. Waiting for other videos of the playlist

Finally someone who knows what there talking about. Flat Earthers always get this experiment wrong.

I never think about space as being aether but I guess that's exactly what it is ! Just a mixture of permeability and permittivity to give us hyperactivity !

It's like I'm crazy or something, but I can never understand how nobody sees thr flaw in the design of this experiment. It would never do anything but give the same result no matter the outside forces applied to it. The only arm of this thing, in its current configuration is the right arm after the splitter. By bouncing the beam back with a mirror, the only result you will get from it no matter the changes in the speed of lignt would be an average of the two lengths, which will always end up being the same exact value. Theh may as well have built the light shining right at the detector without any mirrors. Seriously, turn the thing any way, and any changes in speed of the light after the splitter will be undone by the change in speed on the way back to the splitter. This goes for both paths, as all a round trip could ever do is provide an average where the detla difference between thr two trips is always equal. It's a pointless experiment that gives no valid data, not even a positive failure

Thanks interesting. Hello. The speed of light is constant - Within the framework of the prevailing gravitational field - This assumption can be experimentally confirmed by physical experience: On the surface of the earth along its gravitational field, we fix the speed of light in the fibers of the optical angular gyroscopes, gyroscopes located symmetrically on a special platform and moving along a circle without angular velocity. You need to look at the picture with three optical gyroscopes. Internet request PATENT KZ-33869
