Discover how the famously "failed" Michelson-Morley experiment reshaped our understanding of physics and how it showed the success of the Scientific Method along the way.

Includes:

- Historical Context: Understand the hypothesis of the ether that guided scientists for centuries.

- Experimental Design: Dive into the details of the Michelson-Morley experiment and its innovative approach.

- Results and Impact: Learn why the experiment is considered a turning point in science, leading to the development of Einstein's theory of relativity, de Broglie's wave-particle duality of light, and quantum mechanics.

- Scientific Method Explained: See the Scientific Method in action, from forming a hypothesis to adjusting conclusions based on experimental data.
