邁克爾遜說服電話發(fā)明者，亞歷山大?格雷厄姆?貝爾出資制造他的設(shè)備——干涉儀，用來精確地測試光速。邁克爾遜與莫雷合力，經(jīng)過艱苦的工作測算了光速，結(jié)果與他們預(yù)期的大不一樣，并且動搖了兩百年來在物理界占統(tǒng)治地位的牛頓理論。二十年后邁克爾遜拿到了諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎，不過這期間事情似乎進(jìn)展得不太好~~~

which could measure the velocity of light with great precision
embarked on
The work was delicate and exhausting, and had to be suspended for a time to permit Michelson a brief but comprehensive nervous breakdown, but by 1887 they had their results.
The speed of light turned out to be the same in all directions and at all seasons.
hint
might not apply all the time everywhere
Michelson was awarded a Nobel Prize in physics for the work, the first American so honored, but not for 20 years.
邁克爾遜說服電話的發(fā)明者、剛剛發(fā)了財?shù)膩啔v山大?格雷厄姆?貝爾提供資金，制造了一臺邁克爾遜自己設(shè)計的巧妙而靈敏的儀器，名叫干涉儀，用來非常精確地測定光的速度。接著，在和藹而又神秘的莫雷的協(xié)助下，邁克爾遜進(jìn)行了幾年的精心測量。這是一件非常細(xì)致而又很花力氣的活兒，邁克爾遜的精神一下子完全垮了，工作不得不中斷了一段時間。但是，到1887年，他們有了結(jié)果。而且，這個結(jié)果完全出乎這兩位科學(xué)家的意料。
加州理工大學(xué)天體物理學(xué)家基普?S.索恩寫道："結(jié)果證明，光的速度在各個方向、各個季節(jié)都是一樣的。"這是200年來--實(shí)際上恰好是200年--出現(xiàn)的第一個跡象，說明牛頓定律也許不是在任何時候、任何地方都適用的。用威廉?H.克羅珀的話來說，邁克爾遜-莫雷結(jié)果成為"很可能是物理學(xué)史上最負(fù)面的結(jié)果"。為此，邁克爾遜獲得了諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎--從而成為獲此殊榮的第一位美國人--但要過20年之后。與此同時，邁克爾遜-莫雷實(shí)驗(yàn)像一股霉味那樣令人不快地浮動在科學(xué)家的腦海深處。
