Abstract

Bradley aberration, which uses the yearly angular displacement of starlight to measure the velocity of the Earth about the sun, can be used in the closed laboratory to measure the absolute velocity of the laboratory. Lasers replace starlight. Comparing the aberration for two oppositely directed light beams as a function of direction, the absolute velocity of the laboratory may be deduced. A special “telescope” to be used to detect small angular changes is described.
