Abstract

A thorough review of the Michelson–Morley experiment reveals that the experiment had been not only misinterpreted but also misconceived. Under the theory & methodology adopted by Michelson & Morley the reasons of misconception and misinterpretation have been found to be: 1. Doppler Effect of light was not taken into account and 2. The motion of the solar system was not also taken into account. Since this experiment formed the basis of misinterpretation of absence of luminiferous ether in the space and as the consequence of absence of luminiferous ether the concept of length contraction in the direction of motion, theories of relativity, space–time concept and big bang theory were adopted. The basis of all these theories and concepts is challenged. The present article is the detailed and corrected version of the article ‘Ultimate Proof of Energy Theory of Matter & Cosmology’ Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010a) necessitated by the article ‘Foundation of Theory of Everything; Non-living & Living Things’ Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010b). This article finally explains the Michelson-Morley experiment.

Highlights

  • F Energy Theory of Matter & Cosmology’ Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010a) necessitated by the article ‘Foundation of Theory of Everything; Non-living & Living Things’ Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010b)

  • In the article Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010b) it is considered. If this is combined with the motion of the solar stated that the article Mohammad Shafiq Khan (2010a) system, concerning which but little is known with certainty, should be considered for its contents wherein it was the result would have to be modified; and it is just possible suggested that the Michelson–Morley experiment was that the resultant velocity at the time of the observations was misinterpreted for concluding the absence of luminiferous small though the chances are much against it

  • If it is shown that notwithstanding the differences in the distances and time taken by the light pulses in traversing the two arms of the experiment; before these were allowed to interference; there had to be no shift of the interference fringe when the instrument is revolved through 900 after taking the Doppler Effect into consideration; that should leave no doubt that the Michelson–Morley experiment was misconceived and misinterpreted
