    When I saw the title, I guessed that it would be the M-M experiment, but I have never seen any details of how it was performed. This video has enlightened me (pardon the pun), so thank you for your clear explanation of their method and apparatus.

    I first heard of this experiment in senior High School.
    It is a classic demonstration that negative results when testing a scientific theory is a bad thing.
    Learning of this experiment was my first introduction to the true application of scientific method.

    Let's do the Michelson-Morley experiment on a school bus and determine the speed in a straight line - this is exactly the experiment Einstein dreamed of. Perhaps we will see the postulates: “Light is an ordered vibration of gravitational quanta, and Dominant gravitational fields control the speed of light in a vacuum.” There is a proposal for the joint invention of a HYBRID gyroscope from non-circular, two coils with optical fiber, where the light in each arm travels 18,000 meters, without exceeding the parameters of 0.4/0.4/0.4 meters and mass - 4 kg.

    You neglected to describe the size of the interferometer and that it was resting on a pool of mercury to isolate it from mechanical vibrations in the lab. Imagine how the EPA and/or OSHA today would prohibit playing around such a large pool of exposed mercury... like where have even all the sealed thermometers gone, not to mention mercury barometers.

    • @filonin2
      @filonin2 9 месяцев назад +1

      No, he did indeed mention it was floating on mercury. Mercury is still regularly used in labs and it's not banned by the EPA or OSHA. You can just buy some online too if you want to play with it or replicate the experiment.

    Dude, you are killin me! I cannot fault you for not knowing this, but light does not travel. There are no light waves or particles as defined by the wonks that throw those terms around they way they do. The so called speed of light is much better described as a rate of induction, but even that is fundamentally lacking. Nobody understands what light really is because, believe it or not, you cannot see it! The only thing your eyes can perceive are illusory reflections that seem to bounce off the surface of all matter, and you and everyone else calls this 'light'. I got news for ya... Your desk, your computer, even your body, are all made of 'hard light'. I don't think you realize how much your entertaining clips intellectually impoverish the people who believe this nonsense and as a result, continue to be misled and mis-educated, all the while heaping unearned accolades on the progenitors of such horseshit. Study the work of Walter Russell. Make clips about that if there is anything in that stuff you can comprehend. Everyone deserves a second chance. Here's yours. Don't waste the opportunity I am offering you here. And don't be intimidated by the material either. You can get it, it just takes effort. Anything you desire is within your reach, even if you don't believe it to be so. If you do a decent job you can probably double your earnings too, because Russell left behind a treasure trove of answers and in all of that (a damn near bottomless chasm of inspiring awe) you will not be able to find even one contradiction. Everyone gets a lollypop for trying. Not since Christ has any person with a similar potential walked the Earth. What was his, can be yours.

      All scientfic progress relies on a foundation of understanding. Creating a video that explains the experiment that changed a general foundation of our understanding of light is not going to intellectually impoverish people who base their understanding upon that foundation already.
      If the foundation of our understanding of light is incorrect, then that needs to be argued and explained in a thoughtful and un-condescending way for anyone to even begin to listen. I didn't know who Walter Russell is before your comment, but I found a good summary of how we should approach his contributions:
      "While Walter Russell's ideas undoubtedly stimulate curiosity and contemplation, it is crucial to approach his theories with a critical and discerning mind. As with any unconventional science, claims that defy established scientific principles require rigorous testing and empirical evidence to gain broader acceptance.
      The enduring legacy of Walter Russell lies in the thought-provoking nature of his theories, which continue to spark discussions and inspire further exploration of the mysteries of the universe. As science evolves and new discoveries are made, Russell's work remains a fascinating chapter in the ever-evolving story of human understanding. Whether seen as visionary or controversial, Walter Russell's unique contributions undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on the tapestry of scientific thought."
      A true seeker of truth does not dismiss any foundational understanding; instead, they evaluate which is most likely to reflect the truth, considering the plausibility of the foundations that support it and the fundamental principles they choose to uphold.
      In my opinion, Walter Russel was better at seeking the truth than you are, and he wouldn't appreciate you comparing him to Christ.

      Notice how that is a book and not a peer reviewed paper. No one cares about fan-fiction, kiddo. Also, saying that light is a cluster of expanding electrons is a testable hypothesis which on it's very face seems to have been disproven literally billions of times with our measurements and production of both photons and electrons. What you are saying is incoherent.

P=mv or for light p=mc which ‘propels’ solar sails. For light- particles, objects, matter- to bounce off a mirror even once ( it can bounce many times before dispersing) violates the ‘law of the conservation of energy.” No problem: no energy, charge, photons, waves, spin, fields, potential, quantum,quarks, space, time, space-time etc; All Standard Theory/Model was replaced by Expansion Theory in 2002. Forgotten Physics website uncovers the hidden variables and constants and the bad math of Wien, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Einstein, Debroglie,Planck, Bohr etc. This relates to the ‘photon’ picture of modern physics- incorrectly (the false energy paradigm)- but is still important to the composition of light. Scroll down to “Double Your Kinetic Energy:......” to footnote/ reference #18 if “peer review “ is useful for setting things straight.
