Description
"This is a biography of America's first Nobel Prize winner in science and an account of his researches. Michelson invented several important optical instruments and established the speed of light close to its present day measurement. He proved once and for all that space had no "ether," which for hundreds of years was considered necessary for the transmission of light waves. The author provides a clear explanation of Michelson's contributions to experimental physics--contributions to which many scientists, including Einstein, have acknowledged indebtedness"--Google books viewed Feb. 19, 2021.
