A. A. Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light.
He only measured how it changes if you move toward the light, away
from it, or sideways. (It doesn't.)
He is the inventorof the Michelson interferometer.
Albert Abraham Michelson was born on December 19, 1852.
Albert Abraham Michelson was born on December 19, 1852.
Albert Michelson was the first American to win a Nobel Prize for measuring the speed of light.
Albert Michelson is best known for conducting the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887, which aimed to measure the speed of light and detect the presence of the hypothetical luminiferous aether. This experiment provided evidence against the existence of the aether and contributed to the development of Einstein's theory of relativity.
Albert Abraham Michelson died on May 9, 1931 at the age of 78.
Albert Abraham Michelson won The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1908.
Albert Abraham Michelson was born on December 19, 1852 and died on May 9, 1931. Albert Abraham Michelson would have been 78 years old at the time of death or 162 years old today.

The quote "Light is a pure communication medium" is attributed to the physicist Albert A. Michelson. He made significant contributions to the field of optics and is known for his work on measuring the speed of light. Michelson's statement emphasizes the fundamental role of light in transmitting information and signals.
