“While I was thinking of this problem in my student years, I came to know the strange result of Michelson’s experiment. Soon I came to the conclusion that our idea about the motion of the Earth with respect to the ether is incorrect, if we admit Michelson’s null result as a fact. This was the first path which led me to the special theory of relativity. Since then I have come to believe that the motion of the Earth cannot be detected by any optical experiment, though the Earth is revolving around the Sun.”

Albert Einstein Quote: Why Earth's Motion Can't Be Detected Optically!
Albert Einstein's insight about the invisibility of Earth's motion through optical experiments revolutionized physics.
Albert Einstein (1879–1955) was a German-born physicist widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. He developed the special and general theories of relativity and was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
