On the experiment of Michelson-Morley
Slavik Avagyan
In this article questions concerning measurements and verifications are discussed.
Scientific progress depends on both origination of new theories and scientific experiments. There is possibility of false theories as well as false experiments (not provide exactness of corresponding measurements, false interpretation of results). A series of experiments have played decisive role on either scientific progress or inhibition. From this point of view Michelson-Morley’s experiment has had a fatal significance as on the basis of “results” of this experiment A. Einstein originated its theory of relativity. It was declared with great enthusiasm, that this experiment gave a shattering blow the idea of ether. But in reality it hampered science development connected with the idea of ether.
