On the interpretation of Michelson–Morley experiments
Recent proposals for improved optical tests of Special Relativity have renewed interest in the interpretation of such tests. In this paper we discuss the interpretation of modern realizations of the Michelson–Morley experiment in the context of a new model of electrodynamics featuring a vector–valued photon mass. This model is gauge invariant, unlike massive–photon theories based on the Proca e...
متن کاملPrecision test for the new Michelson-Morley experiments with rotating cryogenic cavities
A new ether-drift experiment in Düsseldorf is currently measuring the relative frequency shift of two cryogenic optical resonators upon active rotations of the apparatus. I point out that the observed fractional amplitude of the sidereal variations of the signal in February, Csid ∼ (11 ± 2) · 10, is entirely consistent with the expectations based on Miller’s observations in the same epoch of th...
متن کاملModern Michelson-Morley experiments and gravitationally-induced anisotropy of c
The recent, precise Michelson-Morley experiment performed by Müller et al. suggests a tiny anisotropy of the speed of light. I propose a quantitative explanation of the observed effect based on the interpretation of gravity as a density fluctuation of the Higgs condensate. 1. The aim of this Letter is to propose a quantitative explanation of the tiny anisotropy of the speed of light suggested b...
متن کاملMichelson–Morley experiment revisited
The idea of the Michelson–Morley experiment is theoretically reanalyzed. Elementary arguments are put forward to precisely derive the most general allowable form of the directional dependence of the oneway velocity of light. According to XIX-century physics light was supposed to propagate in the aether, a mysterious medium devised especially for this purpose. As light was to travel with respect...
متن کاملAngular momentum effects in Michelson - Morley type experiments
The effect of the angular momentum density of a gravitational source on the times of flight of light rays in an interferometer is analyzed. The calculation is made imagining that the interferometer is at the equator of the gravity source and, as long as possible, the metric, provided it is stationary and axisymmetric, is not approximated. Finally, in order to evaluate the size of the effect in ...
