MICHELSON, ALBERT

Orig. bildtext... TO ENDEAVOR TO CALCULATE THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. Pasadena, Calif. Dr. Albert A. Michelson, internationally known scientist of the University of Chicago and the first American to be awarded the Noble Prize in Physics more than 20 years ago, recently arrived in Pasadena, Calf. to complete life-long experiments on the speed of light and to test the so-called ether drift element of the relativity theory as advanced by Einstein. From experiments made with light thrown back and forth from the summits of Mt. Wilson and Mt. Baldy, 22-miles apart, several years ago, Dr. Michelson calculated the velocity of light at 186,284 miles a second. For his new experiments, apparatus has been installed on Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. Wilson, 82 miles apart, and by throwing light between these two peaks he hopes to obtain a still more accurate check on his previous figures and arrive at a stated speed to be used by the entire scientific world. While in Pasadena, Calif. at the Mt. Wilson observatory, Dr. Michelson, who is 77-years-of age, will repeat the famous Michelson-Morley experiment made 30 years ago to demonstrate that the earth is not drifting through the ether wich scientists claim fills space, but is actually drifting with it, if there is any motion whatsoever. Photo shows Dr. Albert A. Michelson. Orig. bildtext... WINS HIGH SCIENCE AWARD. Prof. Albert A. Michelson of the Department of Physics of the University of Chicago, who was honored at a dinner at the Biltmore Hotel in New York last night when he was presented with a gold medal for distinctive work in science by the Society of Arts and Science. He shares honors with Dr. Robert A. Millikan, who received a similar award for his work in science. 2/23/29. Anm. Nobelpriset i fysik 1907 Ljusets hastighet persons: Albert Michelson sites: USA.
