More quotes by Albert A. Michelson
Now, the velocity of wave propagation can be seen, without the aid of any mathematical analysis, to depend on the elasticity of the medium and its density for we can see that if a medium is highly elastic the disturbance would be propagated at a great speed.
Albert A. Michelson
The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered, and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented in consequence of new discoveries is exceedingly remote.
