[ARC5] Michelson-Morley beats 24 GHz work by about 50 years

He must have been well cooked after all those years.

Here is a link to millimeter wave work at frequencies as high as60 GHz done 
by Bose at President College in India in 1895!

https://www.cv.nrao.edu/~demerson/bose/bose.html

He used a spark gap connected to resonant metallic spheres as a source, and 
metal to metal contacts using the surface oxide layer as a semiconductor for 
detection for the receiver. With this home built equipment and other 
components, polarizors, attenuators waveguides and the like he measured the 
dielectric constants at millimeterwave frequencies of a number of dielectric 
materials.

This will make a great science fair project when my kids get older.

Ok Ok Bose started his work in 1895, actual millimeter wave measurements 
might have been as late as 1900.

  I think this all traces back to James Clerk Maxwell.
