再论迈克耳孙-莫雷实验和宇宙Background Radiation优先框架

Michelson-Morley Experiments Revisited and the Cosmic Background Radiation Preferred Frame

Reginald T. Cahill, Kirsty Kitto

摘要:

我们报告一个简单的重新分析旧的结果(1887年)从迈克尔逊-莫雷干涉仪实验,旨在检测绝对运动。我们建立在最近(1998年)重新分析的原始数据的Munera,它揭示了一个小的,但显着的影响后,允许在原始分析中的几个系统误差。进一步的重新分析表明,在本质上是量子干涉实验的情况下,绝对运动的真正效应是可以预期的,但前提是光子在干涉仪中以速度V< c运动。如果干涉仪工作在电介质中,例如空气中,就会出现这种情况,就像迈克耳孙-莫雷实验的情况一样。对迈克尔逊-莫雷实验数据进行重新分析,对空气的折射率效应进行校正,揭示出地球的绝对速度为v=359+/-54 km/s,这与1991年根据美国航天局COBE卫星宇宙背景辐射(CBR)观测的偶极拟合确定的速度v=365+/-18 km/s非常吻合。在其他实验中,干涉仪在空气(Miller 1925,1933)或氦气(Illingworth 1927)中工作,重新分析后得到类似的结果。这些实验结果驳斥了爱因斯坦关于空间中的绝对运动没有意义的论断。

英文摘要:

We report a simple re-analysis of the old results (1887) from the Michelson-Morley interferometer experiment that was designed to detect absolute motion. We build upon a recent (1998) re-analysis of the original data by Munera, which revealed a small but significant effect after allowing for several systematic errors in the original analysis. The further re-analysis here reveals that a genuine effect of absolute motion is expected, in what is essentially a quantum interference experiment, but only if the photons travel in the interferometer at speeds V< c. This is the case if the interferometer operates in a dielectric, such as air, as was the case, incidently, of the Michelson-Morley experiment. The re-analysis here of the Michelson-Morley experimental data, correcting for the refractive index effect of the air, reveals an absolute speed of the Earth of v=359+/-54 km/s, which is in excellent agreement with the speed of v=365+/-18 km/s determined from the dipole fit, in 1991, to the NASA COBE satellite Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) observations. Other experiments where the interferometers operated in air (Miller 1925,1933) or helium (Illingworth 1927) give similar results when re-analysed. These experimental results refute Einstein's assertion that absolute motion through space has no meaning.
