Abstract
This unpublished letter, which appears in Dr. Zapffe?s book, A Reminder on E=mc?, was a rejected letter submitted to Physics Today, that took advantage of the occasion of the Michelson Centennial to propose an experiment to test his idea of a geocentric rest frame for electromagnetism. In this letter, Dr. Zapffe proposes the following: "However, we do have astronauts today, and space vehicles which should be capable of mounting a type of optical instrument for testing that exceedingly crucial point of (c+/-v) velocities. What an immense occasion if interferometer fringes should indeed develop as Michelson so fully expected.?
