In 1901 in Calumet, Michigan, two vertical mine shafts were dug 1.5 km apart and 1.3 km deep. tunnel linking the bottom of the two shafts was constructed and its length was measured. Now since the Earth is spherical we would expect the linking shaft to be 26.5 cm shorter than the 1.3 km.
It was a bit of a surprise then to discover that this shaft actually measures 20.9 cm longer than the 1.3 km measured at the surface.
Konstantin Meyl’s assertion is that the measurement wire has actually shrunk owing to the increased strength of the tangential component of the local (magnetic) field thereby making the measured distance seem larger by comparison. (Scalar waves page 273).
Theoretical calculations suggest a shrinkage of 40.0 cm. Calculations from experimental data give a shrinkage of 40.7 cm . Not exact but still much better than the original expectations.
The measured distance cannot be extrapolated to the centre of the Earth but instead when plotted, converges to to some point way outside of the Earth’s surface.
This is a good confirmation of Meyl’s field theory. We have measurements here made with piano wire and very basic geometry is used to make the calculations. The speed of light is not involved and no fancy interferometers are needed to measure ultra small distances. Classical physics is way off. Meyl is correct.
W are accustomed to using measuring devices for time and length that are assumed to be immutable in nature, giving the same results wherever we are in the universe and in what direction we are oriented. It is not so.
“The newest definition of the metre acts as a blow for liberty and thus marks the abyss, at which we are standing” – Meyl
