This experiment proved that the speed of light does not depend on the viewer's movement through space.
This experiment was replicated with erroneous results by Dayton Miller. This experiment was replicated with a self-orienting capacitor by Trouton and Noble, and its central device was shortened in the Kennedy-Thorndike experiment. The Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction sought to explain the results of this experiment, in which [*] light was split with a half-silvered mirror. This experiment proved that the speed of light does not depend on the viewer's movement through space. Utilizing an interferometer at Case Western was, for 10 points, what doubly named experiment that disproved the existence of the luminiferous ether?
