In the spirit of Xmas...



If Moderator allows it for the festive season, you might be amused by
this link, from the Boing Boing blog 25/12/07, apparently concerning
an ether-drift-detecting machine from 1932 (sic).

Presumably this was a 1932 attempt to undermine relativity theory, for
non-scientific reasons...

P
(I'm unable to verify this, but it the print image looks about right
for the period)
