What was the Michelson-Morley Experiment, and why did it change physics forever? This groundbreaking experiment challenged the existence of the 'ether,' a medium once believed to carry light. When their results didn't match expectations, it opened the door to one of the most important scientific revolutions in history—Einstein's theory of special relativity. In this video, we break down the key concepts of the Michelson-Morley experiment, why it failed to detect the ether, and how it paved the way for Einstein's relativites.
