    Extractions: German-American physicist who devise the Michelson interferometer to detect the motion of the earth through the ether. He performed numerous trials with Edward Morley of this classic investigation which was come to be known as the Michelson-Morley experiment. No matter how the device was oriented, where it was placed, or when it was used, a null result was obtained. In 1890, he developed a theory for interferometric observations of single and double stars. He suggested that a telescope's resolving power could be increased using external mirrors in an arrangement he called a stellar refractometer. He made trial observations with the 15" Harvard College Observatory which failed. However, he successfully measured the diameters of the Galilean satellites using the Lick 12". He then added a steel beam across the telescope's front on which four small relay mirrors were placed, creating the device known as a Michelson stellar interferometer. He measured seven stars with the 100" Hooker Telescope, although one was later withdrawn Oct. 1991). Michelson is quoted as quipping "the grand underlying principles have been firmly established...further truths of physics are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals"

    Extractions: Albert Abraham Michelson O aspecto atraente e bem cuidado daquele professor dava aos alunos a impressão de ser ele frio e impessoal. Mas na personalidade de Michelson não havia frieza, e sim um apurado gosto estético e um culto apaixonado pela perfeição. Violinista talentoso, ele cultivava também a pintura, quando lhe sobrava tempo de seus complicados cálculos científicos. E colocava na música e na pintura o mesmo entusiasmo que punha em seus trabalhos de pesquisa. Afirmou certa vez que "somente na ciência a arte pôde encontrar sua expressão máxima". Em toda a sua obra de cientista transparece a persistente busca de uma exatidão sempre maior; não é por simples coincidência que seu último livro versa ainda sobre o mesmo assunto de sua primeira publicação: a medida da velocidade da luz. O aparelho que construiu para medi-la passou também por sucessivos aperfeiçoamentos. Quando, algumas semanas antes de sua morte, Einstein lhe perguntou por que consagrara tanto tempo aperfeiçoando suas medições da velocidade da luz, ele respondeu: "Porque isto me diverte". Confirmava, nesta frase, que fizera da ciência uma arte. Albert Abraham Michelson nasceu a 19 de dezembro de 1852, em Strelno, na Polônia. Quando ele contava dois anos de idade, seus pais, Samuel e Rosalie, emigraram para os Estados Unidos da América. Estabeleceram-se em São Francisco, na Califórnia.

    Extractions: The renowned physicist Albert Abraham Michelson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907. He spent a significant amount of his life trying to improve upon earlier scientific research and is often credited with the statement: "the grand underlying principles have been firmly established...further truths of physics are to be looked for in the sixth place of decimals." Michelson is most widely remembered for his experiments in which he proved that the hypothetical medium of light, known as " ether ", did not exist, as well as his many attempts to accurately measure the speed of light. Although Michelson was born in Strzelno, Prussia (now Poland), on December 19, 1852, his family moved to the United States when he was only 3 years old. Landing in New York, the Michelson clan soon traveled westward, eventually settling in San Francisco, California where the elder Michelson became a successful merchant. At the age of 17, Albert Michelson entered the United States Naval Academy and excelled in his studies of the sciences, although he was a less than admirable sailor. Graduating in 1873, he began teaching science at the Naval Academy in 1875 and remained in the position for four years. During the period of his military employment, Michelson started work on what would be a driving force in his life, the precise measurement of the speed of light. However, Michelson realized that he would need to know more about optics in order to be able to improve upon the values previously obtained by others. He traveled to Europe with the intention to study the field and retired from the Navy in 1881. When he returned to North America, he established the most accurate value of the velocity of light available at that time, 299,853 kilometers per second. The measurement remained the best for almost an entire generation before he made it even more precise.
