Michelson's Experiments & Classical Mechanics

摘要

This article argues that the results of A.A. Michelson's experiments do not conflict with Classical Mechanics, but rather confirm a classical viewpoint. Using the laws of conservation of momentum and energy in the consideration of the Michelson interferometer allows us to conclude that the path difference of separated beams is independent of speed and direction of movement of the luminiferous medium.
