Meaning
A celebrated experiment conducted by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley; their failure to detect any influence of the earth's motion on the velocity of light was the starting point for Einstein's theory of relativity.
Classification
Nouns denoting acts or actions.
Examples
- The michelson-morley experiment was conducted in 1887 to measure the velocity of light in two perpendicular directions, attempting to detect the presence of ether.
- Albert Michelson and Edward Morley designed the michelson-morley experiment to determine the motion of the Earth through the hypothetical luminiferous ether.
- Although the michelson-morley experiment did not produce the expected results, its findings contributed significantly to the development of the theory of relativity.
- The groundbreaking results from the michelson-morley experiment fueled years of controversy before influencing scientists, like Einstein, in changing fundamental notions about time, space, and speed of light.
