Result of the Michelson-Morley experiment: the big surprise
Expectation:
- only in the reference frame of the ether, the speed of light should be
c = 299 792 458 m/sec
- in other reference frames, the velocity should be different (e.g. by 30 km/sec, the speed with which the Earth orbit the Sun)
Observation:
- the velocity of light was the same to less than
5 km/sec there is no ether !!!
Notes:
