No it was 1880's .. Wikipedia describes it as

Quote:

The device he designed, later known as a Michelson interferometer, sent yellow light from a sodium flame (for alignment), or white light (for the actual observations), through a half-silvered mirror that was used to split it into two beams travelling at right angles to one another.


Even I am not old enough to be there to be able to tell you more smile

White light I would assume means standard candle light.

I should also say I am not being any harder on you than I am on any theory .. so please don't feel I am picking on you.

I can provide copies of some of my comments of other theories that came over my desk ... they all thought I was mean in fact most would swear at me laugh

I also have no objection to you being right but I have to say I feel it is unlikely this sort of thing has been looked at by many scientists. Personally I can't see how it could avoid clashing with QM at some point and that sets off all sorts of problems but that is no reason not to test your theory.


I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
