A Disproof Of Length Contraction
Rothwell Bronrowan physbron@t-online.de
In the middle of the nineteenth century it was known by physicists that light travelling through a medium (air, another gas, water, etc.) was characterized by waves.
It was therefore believed that there must be an invisible medium in space through which light could also travel there. This was named the ether.
In 1881 an American scientist, Albert A. Michelson, conducted an experiment designed to verify the existence of this ether. The experiment failed to give the desired result. In 1887 it was repeated – and again failed, giving instead of the predicted value (in terms of a wavelength shift) what is often referred to as a „zero result“.
Acceptance of this zero result implied that there was no ether.
However, many scientists were disinclined to accept this conclusion, one of them Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, a Dutch physicist and mathematician, instead propagating the theory that, in the direction of their motion, solid objects contracted, each proportionate to its velocity in this direction, and that it was this contraction that had „nullified“ the result of the (Michelson-Morley) experiment referred to above.
