" This one burst raises all sorts of questions , " says michelson . " In a few years , we 'll have a fairly good sample of bursts , and we may have some answers . "
To michelson and morley 's great surprise , and the surprise of all the scientific world , they found that no such effect exist ; the velocity of light was exactly the same in all directions .
Michelson had only two beams , but he had no way to stabilize them , so michelson had to wait for that rare moment when the two beams arrived at precisely the same time and place by chance .
So kaja michelson , a swedish tourist , arrived with high expectations . " Of course we 're hoping to see turtles - that is part of the appeal , " she said .
But the grit in the pearl for all this was a strange observation made that year by two researchers called albert michelson and edward morley that the speed of light was constant , no matter how fast the observer was travelling .
