The Tragedy Of Edward Morley
Poor Morley spent decades building bigger and bigger interferometers looking for the aether, getting exactly zero results every single time. Fast forward to modern physics, and we're STILL building massive circular colliders hoping to find something new! From Morley's null results to CERN's "we need an even BIGGER ring" approach, physicists just can't stop making enormous circular machines when the universe refuses to cooperate. The scientific method at its finest: if your multi-billion dollar machine doesn't find what you want, just build a larger one! Because clearly, size matters in physics.
