Description:
Light, Space and Time- A Cleveland Festival 1987 commemorates not only the centenary of the Michelson-Morley experiment, but also the broad-ranging creativity of the men who performed it. Organized and coordinated by the Michelson-Morley Centennial Celebration (an Ohio non-profit corporation), the Festival has elicited the participation of thirteen of Cleveland's educational and cultural institutions in an extraordinary cooperative enterprise. (written by Dorothy Humel Hovorka)
Modern Physics in America derives from the theme from the original Michelson-Morley experiments in the summer of 1887. The focus on the symposium is the progress and research during the hundred years which separate the experiments and date the symposium. This point in time during the summer of 1887 has been referred to as the beginning of modern physics. Most of the major areas of physics are reflected in the symposium, including many world-renowned scientists.
