Discover how this famously "failed" experiment reshaped our understanding of physics and learn how it showed the success of the Scientific Method along the way.
We’ll explore:
- Historical Context: Understand the hypothesis of the ether that guided scientists for centuries.
- Experimental Design: Dive into the details of the Michelson-Morley experiment and its innovative approach.
- Results and Impact: Learn why the experiment is considered a turning point in science, leading to the development of Einstein's theory of relativity, de Broglie's wave-particle duality of light, and quantum mechanics.
- Scientific Method Explained: See the Scientific Method in action, from forming a hypothesis to adjusting conclusions based on experimental data.
