The failure to do so lead to special relativity. At that time, they were sure that aether existed and even after the failure of experiment, did they didn't conclude that aether don't exist. Although, looking back, this experiment proved the absence of aether, it wasn't done for that purpose. As such is a misconception and repeating it here in Wikipedia will only amplify the effects. undo Tag: Visual edit
