Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (8) – Dislocation of simultaneity

What will happen when operators respectively placed at 0 and at A want to measure the speed of light by noting, on the clocks tuned together which are at these two points, the moment of departure, the moment of arrival, … Read More

Reptiles – Crocodiles, Alligators, Lizards, Snakes, Turtles

Today there are 6,800 reptile species on earth; the major groups are alligators and crocodiles, turtles, lizards, and snakes. Reptiles are tetrapods and amniotes, animals whose embryos are surrounded by an amniotic membrane. Today they are represented by four surviving … Read More

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

Henri Bergson: Half-relativity – Michelson-Morley experiment (3)

Here then is the explanation proposed by Lorentz, an explanation of which another physicist, Fitzgerald, also had the idea. The line OA would contract by the effect of its movement, so as to reestablish equality between the two double paths. … Read More
