Belgium Experiments Show Probable Truth of Einstein's Theory
Ether Drift Does Not Increase With Height, Night Balloon Flights Prove
(Science Service)
Berlin, Dec. 10.—Midnight balloon ascensions of a mile and a half high made recently in Belgium may prove to be strong evidence in favor of Einstein's theory of relativity and contrary to the results obtained by Dr. Dagton, C. Miller, of the Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland, working at the Mt. Wilson observatory in Idaho. The results of some authorities to be fatal to the German's theory. These balloon experiments, just published here, were made by Prof. A. Piccard and Dr. E. Stade, of the University of Brussels.
Doctor Miller's experiments were said to indicate a drift of other which is supposed to pervade all space and in which light travels. This drift was presumably due to the motion of the water on the seabed, and the experiments indicated that while an almost negligible result had been obtained when they were performed at sea-level, at the mile-high top of Mt. Wilson, there was an apperance of this variation with the height could not be explained by the Einstein theory.
In the new work, Doctor Miller's experiment, which was first performed many years ago by Dr. A. A. Michelson, of the University of Chicago, and the late Dr. Edward Morley, when they were both professors at the Case School of Medicine, from a balloon. A somewhat modified form of apparatus was used, in which the records were made on a photographic film, instead of by the eye, as in Miller's apparatus. As it is necessary to turn the apparatus while the experiment is in progress, they had to move the camera more direct directions, this was accomplished by providing the balloon with two small eccentricly operated propellers, turning the entire balloon about two or three times a minute. The illumination of the aurograph, at single polar, was obtained from the blue radiation of a mercury vapor lamp.
From measurements of the photo graphic records, it was found that there was an apparent other drift of about four and a third mile a second. When the temperature of the apparatus, intended to keep it at a constant temperature were designed to work with the thermometer below freezing, and since unexpectedly higher temperatures were found the temperature in the instrument became in error by an amount as great as the value found. However, it was stated, they show that the value of the other drift does not increase, the higher above the earth the observe, which was the chief point of investigation with the relativity theory.
