Discovering the Rotation of a Hot Bulb: Michelson Morley and the Solar System

Michelson Morley's experiment showed that there is no evidence of this, but Chet wonders if it could still be possible if the source is moving around a far away point in space. The equation for this would be omega = Vx/R = Vy/R+1, with Vy being the velocity in the y direction and Vx being the velocity in the x direction. Chet also mentions a 24-hour long picture test that he did at home, where he saw a line. He's not sure what this means and is seeking clarification. In summary, Chet is asking if there is any evidence of light being created by

Hot bulb is making rotation . Exist C + V ?

Michelson Morley

X1..............solar system


Not exist C+V = only Source is making rotation around X1 ?

X1 - far far point in space

Bulb ----------Vy---------->

omega = Vx/R = Vy/R+1 ====> Vy = (R+ 1 ) / R * Vx

The Attempt at a Solution



24h long picture test

X1 .........Camera .....1m ......(doth ) [ cover ] bulb

Camera is open 24h
if doth = Line we can register motion ?


My problem is simple I made in home test and I see line
What mean that I see line ?

What is the Michelson-Morley experiment and how does it relate to the discovery of the rotation of a hot bulb?

The Michelson-Morley experiment was a scientific experiment conducted in the late 1800s to measure the speed of light. This experiment played a crucial role in disproving the existence of a hypothetical "aether" and ultimately led to the discovery of the rotation of a hot bulb.

What is the significance of the discovery of the rotation of a hot bulb?

The discovery of the rotation of a hot bulb was significant because it provided evidence for the theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of the universe and paved the way for many scientific advancements.

How does the rotation of a hot bulb impact our understanding of the solar system?

The rotation of a hot bulb is a fundamental aspect of the solar system and is responsible for the movements of celestial bodies such as planets and moons. Without this rotation, the solar system would not function as it does.

What methods were used to discover the rotation of a hot bulb?

The rotation of a hot bulb was discovered through various experiments, including the Michelson-Morley experiment, which measured the speed of light, and the Foucault pendulum experiment, which demonstrated the Earth's rotation.

What further research is being done to understand the rotation of a hot bulb?

Scientists continue to study the rotation of hot bulbs in order to gain a deeper understanding of the laws of physics and how they apply to the movements of the solar system. This research also has implications for other areas of science, such as cosmology and astrophysics.
