	The Michelson-Gale experiment was a very large ring interferometer, (a perimeter of 1.9 kilometer), large enough to detect the angular velocity of the Earth. Like the original [[Michelson–Morley experiment\|Michelson-Morley]] experiment, the Michelson-Gale-Pearson version compared the light from a single source (carbon arc) after travelling in two directions. The major change was to replace the two "arms" of the original MM version with two [[rectangle]]s, one much larger than the other. [[Light]] was sent into the rectangles, reflecting off [[mirror]]s at the corners, and returned to the starting point. Light exiting the two rectangles was compared on a screen just as the light returning from the two arms would be in a standard MM experiment. The expected fringe shift in accordance with the stationary aether and special relativity was given by Michelson as:

	~~:<math>\Delta=\frac{4A\omega\sin\phi}{\lambda c}~~
	~~</math>~~

	~~where <math>\Delta</math> is the displacement in fringes, <math>A</math> the area in square kilometers, <math>\phi</math> the latitude~~ (41° 46'), <math>c</math> the speed of light, <math>\omega</math> the angular velocity of Earth, <math>\lambda</math> the effective wavelength used. In other words, this experiment was aimed to detect the [[~~Sagnac effect]] due to Earth's rotation.<ref>{{Cite journal\| author=Anderson, R., Bilger, H.R., Stedman, G.E.\| year=1994\| title=Sagnac effect~~: A century of Earth-rotated interferometers\| journal=Am.

	~~==Result==~~
	The outcome of the experiment was that the angular velocity of the Earth as measured by astronomy was confirmed to within measuring accuracy. The ring interferometer of the Michelson-Gale experiment was not calibrated by comparison with an outside reference (which was not possible, because the setup was fixed to the Earth). From its design it could be deduced where the central interference fringe ought to be if there would be zero shift. The measured shift was 230 parts in 1000, with an accuracy of 5 parts in 1000. The predicted shift was 237 parts in 1000. According to Michelson/~~Gale, the experiment is compatible with both the idea of a stationary ether and special relativity.~~

	~~As it was already pointed out by Michelson in 1904, a positive result in such experiments contradicts~~ the [[aether drag hypothesis\|hypothesis of complete aether drag]]. On the other hand, the stationary ether concept is in agreement with this result, yet it contradicts (with the exception of [[Lorentz ether theory\|Lorentz's ether]]) the Michelson-Morley experiment. Thus special relativity is the only theory which explains both experiments.<ref name=joos>[[Georg Joos]]: ''Lehrbuch der theoretischen Physik.'' 12. edition, 1959, page ~~448</ref> The experiment is consistent with relativity for the same reason as all other Sagnac type experiments (see [[Sagnac effect]~~]). That is, rotation is absolute in special relativity, because there is no inertial frame of reference in which the whole device is at rest during the complete process of rotation, thus the light paths of the two rays are different in all of those frames, consequently a positive result must occur. It's also possible to define rotating frames in special relativity ([[Born coordinates]]), yet in those frames the speed of light is not constant in extended areas any more, thus also in this view a positive result must occur. Today, Sagnac type effects due to Earth's rotation are routinely incorporated into [[GPS]].
