  New explanation for Fizeau experiment ( light in moving water )

  Posted by Jean-Pierre on November 10, 2020 at 9:15 pm

  The Special Relativity is born to give a solution to a contradiction between the Fresnel explanation of Fizeau experiment , and the Michelson-Morley experiment.

  The relativistic addition of speeds ( speed of light in water + speed of water ) give a very good prediction of Fizeau results , as Einstein said. But an alternative explanation is possible.
