The Luminiferous Ether is Detected as a Wind Effect Relative to the Ether Using a Uniformly Rotating Interferometer

Georges Sagnac

Abstract

This is English translation of Georges Sagnac's paper, where he gives a presentation for his "rotating interferometer experiment" which manifested the phenomenon called later the Sagnac effect. This paper was originally published, in French, as: L'éthere lumineux démontré par l'effet du vent relatif d'éther dans un interféromètre en rotation uniforme. Note de G. Sagnac, présenté par E. Bouty. Comptes rendus, tome 157, 1913, pages 708-710. Translated from the French in 2008 by William Lonc, Canada. The Editor of The Abraham Zelmanov Journal thanks William Lonc for this effort, and also Ioannis Haranas, Canada, for assistance. Special thank go to the National Library of France and Nadège Danet in person for the permission to reproduce the originally Sagnac paper in English.
