This article first briefly introduces Michelson-Morey experiment
and special relativity, and then introduces Copernicus’s scientific method of
establishing heliocentric theory. Since ancient times, no one standing on theearth has measured the speed of the earth’s movement. Copernicus’ heliocentric
theory relies on the large background movement of the sky to deduce the
movement of the earth. The essence of Michelson-Morey experiment uses the
superposition of the revolution speed of the earth and the speed of light to
generate light travel difference. The zero result shows that the experiment failed.
In other words, all kinds of electromagnetic wave (light wave) experiments
cannot measure the revolution speed of the earth when standing in the
laboratory on the earth. Because the basic law of physics: to describe (measure)
the motion of an object requires a reference object. Whether an object moves or
not cannot be measured by itself. If the speed of the earth can be measured by
light wave test close to the laboratory. That is to say, it is equal to an experiment
in which the earth measures the movement of the earth without reference.
This is beyond the basic category of references needed for physical movement.
Einstein founded his special theory of relativity through a failed experiment. Its
truth is questionable. This article attempts to use Copernicus and Galileo’s basic
scientific arguments, as well as astronomical definitions of time and space, to
put forward several questions about the space-time view of special relativity.
