<tabbox Abstract> 

<note tip>
The motto in this section is: //the higher the level of abstraction, the better//.

<tabbox Why is it interesting?> 
The Michelson-Morley experiment discovered that the speed of light is constant in all inertial frames of reference. This lead to the insight that Newtonian mechanics must be replaced with [[models:special_relativity|special relativity]].
