Space-Time Revolution
The Initial Paradigm: Classical Physics
- Light is a wave (thought to be a medium called “ether”)
The anomaly (crisis) for classical physics: Michelson-Morley Experiment
- Found Speed of light to be the same in all directions even though the earth is moving around the sun
Normal response
- Try to explain the experiment as some anomaly of light
Extraordinary Response (Revolution)
- Completely revise our notions of space and time
