Michelson-morley Experiments: An Enigma For Physics And The History Of Science

Pages : 194
Book Description
'The book should be an interesting read for advanced students within the field and for experts working in it.'Contemporary PhysicsIn 1887, Michelson and Morley tried to observe in laboratory the 'ether drift' by measuring a small difference in the velocity of two perpendicular light beams. The result of their measurements, however, was much smaller than the classical prediction and interpreted as a 'null result'. This was crucial to stimulate the first pioneering formulations of relativity and, as such, it represents a fundamental step in the history of science. Since then, many repetitions of that original experiment have been performed with better and better sensitivity and the standard conclusion has been always the same: no genuine ether drift has ever been detected. However, in the authors' new scheme, the small irregular residuals observed in laboratory show surprising correlations with the direct observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with satellites in space. This opens the possibility of finally linking the CMB to a fundamental reference frame for relativity, with substantial implications for the interpretation of non-locality in the quantum theory. The importance of the issue would require new dedicated experimental tests and significant improvements in the data analysis. Otherwise, without such more stringent checks, these crucial experiments will remain forever as an enigma for physics and the history of science. The book illustrates the many facets of this research together with historical accounts on some leading scientists involved in these measurements.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Annotated List of Experiments in Physics: Suitable for a College Course The original edition of this book was printed in 1906 on the press of the University of Cincinnati. It is not intended to be a course in Experimental Physics, but, as its title implies, an annotated list of some three hundred experiments, any one of which might be profitably performed by a sophomore student in college. As a rule no attempt has been made to describe the experiment, but a reference has been given to a full description of it in a standard manual or text-book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Annotated List of Experiments in Physics Used at the University of Cincinnati in the Courses in Experimental Physics Designed for Sophomore Students of the Academic and Engineering Colleges This is not intended to be a course in Experimental Physics, but, as its title implies, merely an annotated list of some 270 experiments, any one of which might be profitably performed by a sophomore student in college. As a rule no attempt has been made to describe the experiment, but a reference has been given to a full description of it in a standard manual or text book. In the references, for the sake of brevity, the name of the author has been given without the title of the work. Below, therefore, is a list of the books referred to with their publishers: Ames and Bliss, Experiments in Physics, Harper Brothers, 1898. Barker, Physics, second edition, Henry Holt Co.
