The diagram of the Michelson-Morley experiment |
Could there be found errors in Einstein's theories?
The new calculation tools make possible that also in Einstein's theories could be found errors. The Gibbs Phase order has been fallen, and the next one could be Einstein's Special Relativity or Common Relativity theory. The fact in the world of science is that we can't be sure that there are errors in some theories before we are finding those errors. And the thing that we are thought as the unbreakable laws are also falling.
The reason why I think that there are errors in old theories is that proving tools like calculators were more primitive in Einstein's lifetime. And the supercomputers can handle the more accurate number series than some mechanic computers. Then we are thinking about metering the speed of the light. The fact is that the person who made the Michelson-Morley experiment, which proved the speed of the light by measuring the time what the light ray used to travel in the box used a system, which couldn't work by using technology what was allowed to use in the late 19th century.
Michelson-Morley experiment and its modernized version
The key element in the Michelson-Morley experiment was the clock, what metered the time, what metered the difference of the time, what light rays used in traveling that box. The thing is that this kind of experiment is really hard to make without an atom clock, and extremely fast light cells, which can meter the difference of hit of the light rays.
The second thing is that the test must be made in absolutely clean conditions and a vacuum. An artifact or non-controlled effects like gas molecules and oscillation of mirrors must remove from the system because they disturb the test. So the minimum thing for successful tests about the speed of light is that all dust and gas must remove from the interferometer. And then the used light must be coherent, so the laser rays would be the only accepted tools.
The box that Michelson and Morley used is so small. That the difference of the time, what the light used in the travel is very hard to detect. And the second thing is that the gearwheels of that machine couldn't be so accurate, that the metering could be trusted if we think that thing from modern science.
What would look modern version of the Michelson-Morley experiment?
Modern scientists use satellites that are in the square formation, and all artifacts like the rotation of the Earth must remove from the test. The satellites would work like mirrors in the Michelson-Morley experiment, but the size of this system is bigger.
And the location of satellites out of Earth gravity helps with that thing. They would make an extremely large triangle, which could be bigger than Earth. The satellites must anchor in the Lagrange points around the Earth and Moon, which makes them extremely stable. And maybe we would make that text.
The distance must be big enough that the time that light rays used in time could be measure easily. In satellites, the conditions would be extremely stable. And the used light will be the laser ray, which used the cleaned frequency, that nothing can disturb the test.
The long-distance between the sender of the light ray and the receiver would make measurements easier. And the high-accurate atom clock would make it easier to measure the difference of the time, what the laser rays would use in the journey.
