The Greatest Failed Experiment Ever

The video explores how scientific beliefs have evolved, focusing on the Michelson-Morley experiment, which disproved the existence of the aether, a supposed medium for light waves. This led to the development of Einstein's theory of relativity and the concept of wave-particle duality, foundational to quantum mechanics. The video highlights the transition from the aether theory to modern physics, emphasizing the importance of failed experiments in scientific progress.
