I found this experiment on YouTube, and its about interference pattern variation in a vertically spinning interferometer.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7T0d7o8X2-E&feature=related

Although the prediction of the deflection of light by massive bodies is equal in both theories, in SCC a photon in free fall descends at [itex]\frac{3}{2}[/itex] the acceleration of matter. i.e. in free fall a beam of light traveling a distance l is deflected downwards, relative to physical apparatus, by an amount [itex]\delta[/itex] where
[tex]\delta = \frac{1}{4} g(\frac{l}{c})^2[/tex]
Yes, it's pretty clear to me and I do not believe there is any new physics here : in the vertical position, he has mechanical variations due to the weight of the apparatus. Interferometers are pretty sensitive. At the very least, if he wanted to publish, he would have to provide an estimate of this effect.dlgoff said:I'm thinking one of the mirrors is changing position slightly during each revolution (longer then shorter path length) causing the change in pattern
An interferometer is a scientific instrument used to measure small distances, angles, or changes in the positions of objects by splitting and recombining a beam of light.
An interferometer works by splitting a beam of light into two or more beams, directing them along different paths, and then recombining them. The interference patterns created by the recombined beams can be analyzed to make precise measurements.
The "Interesting interferometer experiment" is unique because it uses unconventional methods to create and analyze interference patterns, resulting in unexpected and thought-provoking results.
The materials needed for the "Interesting interferometer experiment" may vary, but typically include a laser, mirrors, lenses, and other optical components. Some versions may also require specialized equipment, such as diffraction gratings or polarizers.
The "Interesting interferometer experiment" has potential applications in various fields, such as astronomy, metrology, and quantum mechanics. It can be used to measure small distances, detect gravitational waves, and study the behavior of light and matter at the quantum level.
