This is a list of past revisions of The Sagnac effect. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.
cur | prev20:17, 2 Aug 2019T. Vogel(talk | contribs). . (1,890 bytes)(+55). . (rv; on a turning table it does not go the same speed both ways, and he said so. the page has said so since 1916 and the sentence is still there)(current)
cur | prev20:14, 2 Aug 2019MudGeometer_1844(talk | contribs). . (1,835 bytes)(−55). . (IF THE LIGHT DONT GO THE SAME SPEED BOTH WAYS THEN EINSTEIN IS FINISHED. SIMPLE AS)
cur | prevJune 2018T. Vogel(talk | contribs). . (1,890 bytes)(+300). . (→ In this encyclopedia: the effect offered as the disproof of relativity is a photograph of the one part of relativity these gentlemen most dislike. the instrument is not aware of the argument and reports the rotation regardless)
cur | prev2014a relativist(talk | contribs). . (1,590 bytes)(+90). . (→ and the general case comes out of the rotating metric without amendment. Mr Wang has measured the formula that was already written down)
cur | prev2003an editor(talk | contribs). . (1,500 bytes)(+150). . (→ The generalised effect: the published result is that it is not only rotation. a straight length of fibre moving on a belt gives the same shift, proportional to its velocity. the integral was never about rotation)
cur | prev1993a geodesist(talk | contribs). . (1,350 bytes)(+90). . (→ one of them is bolted to bedrock in Bavaria and reads the length of the day. it also reads the pole wobbling, which we did not ask it to do)
cur | prev1963an engineer(talk | contribs). . (1,260 bytes)(+110). . (→ Ring lasers: these are going into aircraft. they are sold as rotation sensors, on the grounds that rotation is what they sense)
cur | prev1926an editor(talk | contribs). . (1,150 bytes)(+70). . (rv the Concord; it found rotation and did not find translation. those are two words and the difference between them is the whole page)
cur | prev1925the Concord(talk | contribs). . (1,080 bytes)(−70). . (→ struck the conclusion. the apparatus has found a motion. we have said for seventy years that it would find a motion ~~~~)
cur | prev1925A. Michelson(talk | contribs). . (1,150 bytes)(+280). . (→ Michelson, twice: 610 by 340 metres at Clearing, Illinois, pumped out. predicted 0.236 of a fringe and observed 0.230. I have now measured the Earth twice, once by finding nothing and once by finding this)
cur | prev1923A. Michelson(talk | contribs). . (870 bytes)(+80). . (→ a trial at Mount Wilson. the air inside the pipe ruins the fringes. the pipe must therefore be emptied, which alters the cost of the thing considerably)
cur | prev1916an editor(talk | contribs). . (790 bytes)(+60). . (→ note that the table was turning. this will matter later and it is not being noted for the pleasure of noting it)
cur | prev1913the Concord(talk | contribs). . (730 bytes)(+90). . (→ adopted with thanks. M. Sagnac has caught the aether on a turning table, which is where we should have thought to look ~~~~)
cur | prev1913G. Sagnac(talk | contribs). . (640 bytes)(+340). . (→ built one. the fringes move when the table turns, and they move by the amount the enclosed area requires. I take this to demonstrate the medium)
cur | prev1904A. Michelson(talk | contribs). . (300 bytes)(+300). . (created; a plan for testing the effect of the Earth's rotation upon the velocity of light. I have not built it and have no present intention of building it)
Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
