In the history of physics, aether theories (or ether theories) proposed the existence of a medium, a space-filling substance or field as a transmission medium for the propagation of …

Ether, in physics, a theoretical universal substance believed during the 19th century to act as the medium for transmission of electromagnetic waves (e.g., light and X-rays), much as sound …

The aether is a critical, missing component of physics that must be considered to explain the wave nature of matter. Any theory of waves that relies on the existence of an aether must …

Tesla’s ideas about the ether, while largely speculative, were integral to his worldview and informed many of his experiments and theories. This article explores Tesla’s views on the …

As we shall see, the theory developed here differs in various aspects from conventional relativity, and calls into question the approaches that deny the existence of the aether, or which …

Apr 2, 2002 · William Thomson elaborated upon Faraday's work by arguing that the electromagnetic field could be represented as a system of vortices in the ether; later, he …

Beginning in the early 1880s, the American experimental physicist Albert Michelson sought to measure such an effect. He designed and built a new type of device — an interferometer — to …

Feb 15, 2022 · It is significant because it reveals the thinking of Albert Einstein on the subject of the Ether. I managed to transcribe this talk from the record available at the University of …

Assume that water drags along ether with a fraction f of its velocity v. Task: Find formula for f so that the immobile ether theory plus this special dragging assumption predict that the path of …

The Lorentz ether theory, which was developed mainly between 1892 and 1906 by Lorentz and Poincaré, was based on the aether theory of Augustin-Jean Fresnel, Maxwell's equations and …
