Michelson got out of bed in April, 1931, when Einstein came to visit. At the end of April, Michelson's doctor confined him to his house, after suffering what the papers said was a nervous breakdown. Even though Michelson's work here is not widely recognized, Orange County has become a hotbed for experimental physics. Wuerker, a UCLA physicist, thinks Michelson's work in Orange County is worth more than that. Why would a dying man attempt an experiment as ambitious as Michelson's in Orange County? Horace Babcock, the emeritus director of the Mount Wilson observatory, remembers visiting the experiment as a child, seeing the light shooting out of the cracks in the shack where Michelson was at work. I had to repeat my order "Devilled kidney," and instead of answering brightly, "Yes, sir," as if my selection of devilled kidney was a personal gratification to him, which is the manner one expects of a waiter, he gazed eagerly out at the window, and then, starting, asked, "Did you say devilled kidney, sir?" A few minutes afterward I became aware that someone was leaning over the back of my chair, and you may conceive my indignation on discovering that this rude person was William.

On the day of his arrival, the pump being used to suck air out of the pipe broke down, halting the project. The project took shape quickly. Clark says Michelson settled on the Orange County site for the experiment after lunch in the Irvine family home, when James Irvine Jr. took the physicist for a drive in the family Packard. With the demise of Kings, Mal Gilbert decided that his position as president had become untenable and resigned both his position and his membership, whereupon and with unanimous support Adam Beitner took up the reins. Cicero Fonseka was elected President of Petersons Sports Club at its Annual General Meeting. Alex McGinley represented the club in the All-Ireland Championships in Dublin in the early eighties dressed in white shirt, dickie-bow and black waistcoat, a sight that delighted the club members. Many local members of the club were fortunate to see world class billiards being played. The patrons included members of football teams, scouts, F.C.A., Gardaí and men from businesses in the town. The two men attended banquets together, and talked to each other privately. The two men stood in the lobby arguing with each other, wearing pajamas, scribbling diagrams on the back of a Chinese laundry ticket, until Michelson noticed that a crowd had gathered.

His daughter described one of those fights, in which an assistant drove to Pasadena and called the physicist to the lobby of the Hotel Maryland. Michelson's daughter remembers sitting between them at dinner, seeing that neither could keep his hair combed, and struggling to keep from laughing. Michelson's last experiment did not go smoothly. Michelson's assistants built a metal shack to hold the turbines, the arc light and other equipment from Mount Wilson and a network of tubing, metal pipes, wires, plugs and switches. Some of the metal tubing now is used as drainage pipes at the Mount Wilson observatory. The final report on the Irvine Ranch experiments was published in 1933. The findings were extremely close to those accepted today, but many physicists consider the results of the tests on Mount Wilson more accurate. Michelson wasn't satisfied with the results of the Mt. Wilson experiment. While the experiment was running, her father often would drive house guests over to look at the shack- when he wasn't driving them to the other side of the ranch, where battle scenes were being shot for the film "All Quiet on the Western Front." Once, towards the end of the experiment, she says Michelson asked her to come inside, What is a billiards club to look through a window that showed the length of the tube.

As the Orange County experiment progressed, he began to spend more and more time in bed, alert but physically weak. We all sat in silence for some little time after listening to this extraordinary narrative. With mirrors, turbines, his interferometer and an arc light, he measured the speed of light to within two miles per second of its currently accepted speed. These particles have no affect on the speed of light, but they do appear everywhere, invisible and mysterious, like an ether. And in several of those experiments, UCI scientists are investigating incredibly small particles that move near the speed of light. By then the mirror would have changed its angle slightly, reflecting the light at an angle. Yes. We have a 90 ft pull through available on most of our sites. For one thing, he worried that "shimmers" of air between the mountains might have fouled his results. At this stage in the development of what are now called Victorian Turkish baths, proprietors wanted to be able to distinguish their new baths heated by hot dry air (modelled on the ancient Roman baths) from the typically steamy Islamic hammam (known in the West as Turkish baths).
