- How We Measured the Speed of Light: A Fascinating Journey Through History
Description:
Have you ever wondered how scientists measured the speed of light long before modern technology? 🌌 At 300,000 kilometers per second, light travels incredibly fast-so fast it seems impossible to measure! Yet, brilliant minds like Galileo, Ole Rømer, and Albert Michelson cracked the mystery with ingenious experiments.
In this video, we’ll explore:
Galileo’s early attempts to measure the speed of light.
Ole Rømer’s groundbreaking observations of Jupiter’s moon Io.
Albert Michelson’s revolutionary rotating mirror experiment.
The connection between these experiments and modern technology like GPS and radar.
Learn how science evolved over centuries to achieve the remarkable precision we have today: 299,792.458 km/s! This is a story of persistence, curiosity, and innovation that continues to inspire.
🔍 Keywords: speed of light, how speed of light was measured, Michelson experiment, Ole Rømer speed of light, light speed history, science explained, light speed measurement, fascinating science stories.

You are welcome to my science channel Science Simplified 4 All. My name is Anoop. I am a science enthusiast. My science talk videos are an attempt to simplify complicated science topics so that everyone can understand. My videos will include topics like Physics, Astrophysics, Astronomy, Blackholes, Special Theory of relativity, General Theory of relativity, Spacetime, stars, quantum mechanics, science experiments, science projects, biology, aliens, science facts, science documentry etc. I will try to explain science in simple ways without too much equations, formulas and graphs. Some of my videos may be useful for the science students, science class, science master, and competitive exam students like UPSC etc.

The speed of light is zero Mass creates time.
Amazing content ! Well explained 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
A Telescope + A Calculator + A Stop Watch + Parallax + Jupiter + Jupiter's moon "Io" = Speed of Light (Tout est simple, pourquoi le compliquer)
10:15 he's literally, Miles off! 🤓 2.685 miles off, to be precise.
FYI:
THE SPEED OF LIGHT WAS ALSO DRIVE FROM MAXWELL'S SOLUTION TO THE WAVE EQUATION.
Should make a video on how G was measured. See the Cavendish experiment.
Ese método lo inventaron en Francia (Foucault: 1862). No cambien la historia!!!
Who writes history, man? Science is not in history, but in the relevance of facts.
Does Dark Matter limit the speed of light?
Excellent video. Explained well ❤️🩹
Glad you liked it
@@ScienceSimplified4AllThe audio starts in English but later it is in non-English language?
A petty remark. Since 1983, the speed of light in m/s (or any unit based on m/s like mph) cannot be measured, as it has an assigned exact value, which is used to define how long a meter is. Of course, this assigned value is based on accurate measurements of the speed of light using the previous definition of the meter, so that the length of the meter didn't really change, it just got a more precise and more reproducible definition.
Thus, what experiments like these can measure today, is the distance traveled, not the speed of light.
Why is the audio in French? By looking at the comments, it seems that some people hear and understand it in English, but others say it starts out in English but switches over to French. I hear it only in French from beginning to end. Something weird is going on with this video.
Science Simplified, I suggest you take a listen for yourself.
I was able to get captions in english. hope that helps.
now it is the case that no one has measured the speed of light because it requires something faster than the speed of light and the measurements that have been made are 2-way measurements through mirrors and therefore not useful and accurate
In vacuum tube 1 meter long if remember correctly from high school in the 80`s.
Bet you don't say that.
Space is not a vacuum.

Je ne comprende pas Francais, mais Russe(Russian) Je poudre
@jimjenke3661 No worries, neither French nor Russian here-just science! 😊 Stick around, and hopefully, the universal language of curiosity will keep you hooked. Thanks for watching!
WARNING : FRENCH LANGUAGE VIDEO !!!
Starts off in English but the switches to French.... HORRID ! 😂❤
@tomcolgan-tl7zk Haha, no French here, I promise! 😄 It might seem complex at first, but I’d suggest giving it a second watch in slow mode-it really helps connect the dots. Once you see the twist, you won’t be able to unsee it! 😊 Thanks for watching!
@@ScienceSimplified4All Are you sure? There is no English audio for this video? Is it some issue?
I always learned that it was 186,000 miles per second. Nobody knows kilometers.
Everyone knows kilometers
Don' you know the acrónim MKS? Very bad!
