The Michelson–Morley experiment results were published in November 1887, indicating the speed of light is independent of motion.
The experiment was performed between April and July 1887 by American physicists Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley at what is now Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The results were published in November of the same year. The exact experimental site was the basement of Adelbert Dormitory of WRU (later renamed Pierce Hall); Cleveland, Ohio is the named locality rather than an exact site.
