[Abstract] The experiment of Michelson—Morley’s, which is considered one of the few important experiments in physical history , is called the decisive experiment ,according which to judge whether “ether wind ”exists or not .Though the experiment has been done repeatedly for many times ,it seems that the calculating method of the experiment hasn’t been studied carefully enough . Now ,the experiment interests the author and the method of it has been studied carefully for a long time and here comes a discovery — the original algorithm of the experiment includes something wrong : Michelson’s experiment can’t be calculated to the formula, but should be used . In Michelson’s experiment, even though “ether wind ”exists , as the correct algorithm , ，And of course the interfering stripes don’t move, so that the movement of the interfering stripes can’t be observed in the experiment . So，here comes a conclusion , not existing of the “ether wind ” can’t be testified by Michelson’s experiment.

[Key word] Michelson’s experiment calculating mistake not existing of the “ether wind” can’t be testified

Ⅰ The Sufficient and Necessary Condition that the Formula is Tenable

Such as figure one : we can suppose that, two pointsＳ1 ，Ｓ2 send out the light ray ,which spread to space ,the difference of optical pathcorresponds to point P , the difference correspond to point, correspond to different set of points .Only if the number of is different, the interfering fringes is different; oppositely, if the interfering fringes is different, the number of is different, Such as Young’s experiment. Only in this case, the formula is tenable, we get:

Conclusion one：the number that the interfering fringes change along with the difference of optical path is equal to the number that transformational number of the difference divided by the wavelength if and only if the relationship between the interfering fringes and the differenceis in one–to –one correspondence,

Ⅱ The Light Route of Michelson’s Experiment is Close

    Michelson’s experiment is different from Young’s experiment, the light route of Michelson’s experiment is close .we may suppose that,in the experiment.

    Such as the figure two:corresponds to point A

    Such as the figure three:corresponds to point A also.

    Very obviously, before and after the whole interferometer is turned by 90° in the experiment, correspond to the same observational set of point, according to the formula

    ,we know that the average light intensity of the interfering fringes of corresponding towhich shows that the brightness of the interfering fringes is the same .Therefore ,we get :

    Conclusion two: in Michelson’s experiment,correspond to the same observational interfering fringes.

    Ⅲ The Difference of Michelson’s Experiment from Young’s Experiment

    According to the preceding part of the text ,in Young ’s experiment, the relationship between the interfering fringes and the difference is in one–to –one correspondence; but in Michelson’s experiment, before and after the whole instrument is turned by 90°, the relationship between the difference,is contrary number , they correspond the same observational interfering fringes. Therefore, the relationship between the interfering fringes and the difference isn’t in one–to –one correspondence. So we get:

    Conclusion three: Michelson’s experiment hasn’t the necessary condition for the formula tenable.

Ⅳ The Formula can’t be used to Calculate Michelson’s Experiment

    According to the conclusion three, Michelson’s experiment hasn’t the necessary condition for the formula tenable, therefore, the formula is untenable to Michelson’s experiment, in other words, the formula is untenable to Michelson’s experiment . So we get:

    Conclusion four: The formulais untenable to Michelson’s experiment

Ⅴ The Correct Algorithm of Michelson’s Experiment

    According to the preceding part of the text , in Michelson’s experiment , although the relationship between the interfering fringes and the differenceisn’t in one–to –one correspondence ,the relationship between the interfering fringes and the absolute value of the difference is in one–to –one correspondence ,if and only if the changes , the interfering fringes move . So we get:

    Conclusion five: The formula is tenable to Michelson’s Experiment

Ⅵ Not Existing of the “Ether Wind” can’t be Testified by Michelson's Experiment.

In Michelson’s experiment,

substitute it to the formula,we get:

Therefore, in Michelson’s experiment, even though “ether wind” exists, as the correct algorithm, . And of course the interfering stripes don’t move, so that the movement of the interfering stripes can’t be observed in the experiment .So we get:
      Conclusion six: not existing of the “ether wind” can’t be testified by Michelson’s experiment.

Ⅶ The Discussion of

    Such as the diagram two, we can suppose that the distance from the mirror G to the mirrorand the distance from the mirror G to the mirror , then

(Ⅰ) If , then

, according to the formula,we get:

(Ⅱ) then

, according to the formula , we get:

(Ⅲ)then

,according to the formula, we get:

In Michelson’s experiment,,but come close sufficiently,if

to calculate according to the formula .,therefore, the interfering stripes don’t move basically ,so that the obvious movement of the interfering stripes can’t be observed in the experiment.

    In a word, the “ether wind” can’t be voted by Michelson’s experiment.

    [A Brief Introduction of the Author] A male senior instructor, who was born in February 1963, has been studying the theory of relativity since 1980, and find out some problems of the experimental basis and mathematical logic of the theory of relativity. And about the research result, there are three thesis: The Formula , is Untenable to Michelson’s Experiment; Restore the Hypothesis “Ether” to Explain the Two Different Types of Dual Property of Wave and Particle from Different Resources ; Restore the Hypothesis “Ether” to Establish a Model of the Magnetic Field .
