Nice site. I have been asked years ago to build an apparatus to verify if light could be dragged by a moving media measuring the difference in speed of two lasers over moving water. Interestingly he showed me that no such an experiment has been done before. Often real experiments offer an interesting point of view when the effects have a deviation from the calculations. Iterations amplify interesting subtle deviations. I have seen some.
What Problems to Solve - By Richard Feynman

_A former student, who was also once a student of Tomonaga’s, wrote to extend his congratulations. Feynman responded, asking Mr. Mano what he was now doing. The response: “studying the Coherence theory with some applications to the propagation of electromagnetic waves through turbulent atmosphere… a humble and down-to-earth type of problem.”_
