...rate of 120 miles a second. The significance of the ether-drift calculations in brief is: The man who made them, Dr. Dayton C. Miller of the Case School of Applied Science (Cleveland), President of the American Physical Society, participated in the original ether-drift experiments of Professors Michelson and Morley 20 years ago, upon which Dr. Einstein built his theory of relativity. Dr. Miller's new figures are the most complete and accurate yet made and tend to alter, if not to disprove, Dr. Einstein's propositions. Also, establishment of the existence of ether is fundamentally important to scientific...
