Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (7) – Clock simultaneity

How do you adjust two clocks located in different places to each other? By communication established between the two people responsible for the adjustment. However, there is no instantaneous communication; and, since all transmission takes time, we had to choose … Read More

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (6) – Measuring time

More generally, let us still call S a system immobile in the ether, and S’ a double of this system, which first coincided with it and then detaches itself in a straight line with the speed v. While S’ contracts … Read More

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (5) – The speed of light

But we should also know why we ourselves, in our turn, measuring the speed of light by terrestrial experiments such as those of Fizeau or Foucault, we always find the same number c, whatever the speed of the Earth relative … Read More
