[Phys-L] Re: Two ways of refuting Einstein

[Bernard Cleyet <anngeorg@PACBELL.NET>]

I suppose here it is suitable to print another factoid about attempts to
refute "Einstein".

I happened upon the July and August 1938 issue of "Radio Digest",
wherein one of the cover articles is a description of Herbert Ives' *
attempt to prove the existence of the ether using high speed canal rays.

* of Ives and Briggs @ Bell labs.  [I met Dr. Briggs @ UCSB where he,
retired, taught a course.  On his desk was a Si or Ge xtal presented by
his colleagues at Bell labs]
