Summary

The 1932 unequal-arm interferometer test constrained changes in light speed associated with Earth’s changing velocity and, together with Michelson–Morley, tested Lorentz transformations.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The null result constrained velocity-dependent light propagation and supported Lorentz-Einstein transformations.

How to interpret this relation type

The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
