On the Relative Motion of the Earth and the Luminiferous Ether
"On the Relative Motion of the Earth and the Luminiferous Ether" is the landmark 1887 scientific paper by Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley reporting their famous interferometer experiment that found no evidence for the existence of the luminiferous ether and helped pave the way for Einstein’s theory of special relativity.
