Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around an experiment conducted in a warehouse to test light aberration using a laser light and a curtain positioned 50 meters away. The experiment is intended to observe the effects of Earth's motion on light positioning over a 24-hour period.

Discussion Character

  • Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes an experiment where a laser light is used to test for light aberration, suggesting that the light point should shift by 5 mm due to Earth's motion at 30 km/s.
  • The same participant claims that after 24 hours, the light point should have moved a total of 10 mm, but observes no movement, questioning the existence of the aberration phenomenon on the ground.
  • Another participant expresses confusion regarding the relevance of Earth's speed to the experiment conducted in a warehouse and requests a clearer description of the situation.
  • There are requests for clarification and references to published works to support the experiment's claims.
  • Some participants indicate language barriers, with one participant noting they do not speak English and seeking assistance in Vietnamese.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to agree on the clarity of the experiment or its relevance, with some expressing confusion and others seeking clarification. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the validity of the experiment and the existence of the aberration phenomenon.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks clear definitions and assumptions regarding the experimental setup and the expected outcomes, which may contribute to the confusion expressed by participants.

experiment in the warehouse

Using a Laze light and curtain far from it 50 m. It is supposed that A is a light centre when having no aberration phenomenon. Because the Earth moves at the speed of 30 km/s, therefore, at any period, the aberration phenomenon will happen at maximum - light point askew 5 mm in comparison with A for any side. 12 hours later, when the Earth rotates 1/2 revolution, the aberration phenomenon will happen at maximum - light point askew 5 mm in comparison with A for the reverse side. In spite of not knowing which thing is light point centre A when having no aberration phenomenon, but when observing for 24 hours, we will see that the light point moves a distance of 10 mm. The above test has been done but the light point hasn't moved. Therefore, is there aberration phenomenon on the ground ?

I don't understand the "test" you are describing. What is the relevance of the Earth's speed if the test is done in a warehouse? Please describe the exact situation clearly.

If you are describing an actual experiment, please provide a published reference.

Then you need to figure out how to present and clarify the question, because it isn't clear.

Zz.
 
I don't know ! Can who speak Vietnamese ?
