    Use mdy dates date September 2010 The timeline of luminiferous aether begins in the late 19th century with the concept of luminiferous aether Luminiferous aether light bearing aether , or ether , as a Transmission medium medium for Electromagnetic radiation electromagnetic propagation. The aether was assumed to Existence exist for much of the 19th century until the Michelson Morley experiment returned the famous null result . Further experiments were in general agreement and by the 1920s the aether was mostly assumed not to exist. Timeline Early experiments 4th century BC Aristotle publishes Physics Aristotle Physics .

  1. Preferred frame

    unsourced date December 2011 In theoretical physics , a preferred or privileged frame is usually a special hypothetical frame of reference in which the laws of physics might appear to be identifiably different simpler from those in other frames. In theories that apply the principle of relativity to inertial motion, physics is the same in all inertial frame s, and is even the same in all frames under the general principle of relativity. Preferred frame in aether theory In theories that presume that light travels at a fixed speed relative to an unmodifiable and detectable luminiferous aether , a preferred frame would be a frame in which this aether would be stationary. In 1887, Michelson Morley experiment Michelson and Morley tried to identify the state of motion of the aether. To do so, they assumed Galilean Relativity to be satisfied by clocks and rulers that is, that the length of rulers and periods of clocks are invariant under any Galilean frame change. Under such an hypothesis, the aether should have been observed. By comparing measurements made in different directions and looking for an effect due to the Earth s orbital speed, their experiment famously produced a null result . As a consequence, within Lorentz aether theory the Galilean transformation was replaced by the Lorentz transformation . However, in Lorentz aether theory the existence of an undetectable aether is assumed and the relativity principle holds. The theory was quickly replaced by special relativity , which gave similar formulas without the existence of an unobservable aether. All inertial frames are physically equivalent, in both theories. More precisely, provided that no phenomenon violates the principle of relativity of motion, there is no means to measure the velocity of an inertial observer with regard to a possible medium of propagation of quantum waves. Inertial frames preferred above noninertial frames Although there is no preferred inertial frame under Newtonian mechanics or special re ...   more details

Rev. D volume 59 issue 5 pages 053001 year 1999 doi 10.1103 PhysRevD.59.053001 ref It is an experimental outcome which does not show an otherwise expected effect. This does not imply a result of zero or nothing, simply a result that does not support the hypothesis . The term is a translation of the scientific Latin nullus resultarum , meaning no consequence . In statistical hypothesis testing , a null result occurs when an experimental result is not significantly different from what is to be expected under the null hypothesis . While some effect may in fact be observed, its probability under the null hypothesis does not exceed the significance level , i.e., the threshold set prior to testing for rejection of the null hypothesis. The significance level varies, but is often set at 0.05 5 . As an example in physics , the results of the Michelson Morley experiment were of this type, as it did not detect the expected velocity relative to the postulated luminiferous aether . This experiment s famous failed detection, commonly referred to as the null result , contributed to the development of special relativity . Note that the MMX did in fact appear to measure a non zero drift , but the value was far too small to account for the theoretically expected results it is generally thought to be inside the noise level of the experiment. ref http hsc.csu.edu.au physics core space 9 2 4 924net.html net4 Role of the Michelson Morley experiments in making determinations about competing theories ref References reflist Medical research studies Category Design of experiments Category Logic and statistics Category Nothing ...   more details

  1. Experiments of Rayleigh and Brace

    The experiments of Rayleigh and Brace 1902, 1904 were aimed to show whether length contraction leads to birefringence or not. They were some of the first optical experiments measuring the relative motion of Earth and the luminiferous aether which were sufficiently precise to detect magnitudes of second order to v c. The results were negative, which was of great importance for the development of the Lorentz transformation and consequently of the theory of relativity . See also Tests of special relativity . The experiments To explain the negative outcome of the Michelson Morley experiment , George FitzGerald 1889 and Hendrik Lorentz 1892 introduced the Length contraction contraction hypothesis , according to which a body is contracted during its motion through the stationary Luminiferous aether aether . John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh Lord Rayleigh 1902 interpreted this contraction as a mechanical compression which should lead to optical anisotropy of materials, so the different Refractive index refraction indices would cause birefringence . To measure this effect, he installed a tube of 76  cm length upon a rotatable table. The tube was closed by glass at its ends, and was filled with carbon bisulphide or water, and the liquid was between two nicol prism s. Through the liquid, light produced by an electric lamp and more importantly by limelight was sent to and fro. The experiment was sufficiently precise to measure retardations of math tfrac 1 6000 math of a half wavelength , i.e. of the order val 1.2 e 10 . Depending on the direction relative to Earth s motion, the expected retardation due to birefringence was of order 10 sup 8 sup , which was well within the accuracy of the experiment. Therefore it was, besides the Michelson Morley experiment and the Trouton Noble experiment , one of the few experiments by which magnitudes of second order in v c could be detected. However, the result was completely negative. Rayleigh repeated the experiments with layers ...   more details

Since this line did not correspond to that of any known material, it was proposed that it was due to an unknown element, provisionally named coronium. In 1902, in an attempt at a chemical conception of the Luminiferous aether aether , the Russian chemist and chemical educator Dmitri Mendeleev hypothesized that there existed two inert chemical elements of lesser atomic weight than hydrogen. Of these two, he thought the lighter to be an all penetrating, all pervasive gas, and the slightly heavier one to be coronium.

  1. The Baumoff Explosive

    Unreferenced date December 2009 Otheruses Sayings of Jesus on the cross The Baumoff Explosive , also known as Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani is a short story by William Hope Hodgson , first published in 1919. This story is one of Hodgson s most powerful and disturbing, and is especially relevant to modern times because of its themes of blasphemy , religious mania , obsession with the Crucifixion of Jesus , and suicide attack suicide bombing . The story is told using a framework or story within a story , a method used by Hodgson in many of his stories. It is learned in the framework story that a strange new explosive has been developed. Invented by a man named Baumoff, this substance has the effect of creating a temporary area of darkness, into which light does not readily pass. The main body of the story describes the narrator s meeting with Baumoff, who is described as a scientist who is also profoundly Christian and obsessed with the crucifixion. Baumoff believes that events following Christ s death the darkening of the sky, the rending of the temple curtain, and shaking of the ground, as described in the gospel s have a rational, scientific basis. This basis is the ability of the human Psyche psychology psyche to affect the luminiferous aether aether and impede the transmission of light. Baumoff displays a tiny quantity of a chemical compound which, when crushed and burned, creates a region of temporary darkness. Baumoff then goes on to demonstrate what happens when the substance is burned metabolized within his own body. While the narrator watches in horror, Baumoff s heart rate and respiration increase dangerously, and he begins driving metal spikes into his hands and feet to simulate the pain of Christ s crucifixion. The narrator begs him to stop his demonstration, but Baumoff insists that the narrator only observe and take careful note. The flickering darkness returns, and the house begins to shake. Baumoff begins to imagine that he is reliving Christ s final h ...   more details
