The Ether of Space


Book Description

Oliver Lodge's book, 'The Ether of Space', explores the fascinating concept of the "ether," a material substance believed to exist in parts of space that appear to be empty. Lodge examines the history of this idea, tracing its roots back to Newton and Maxwell, and argues for its continued relevance in modern physics. He contends that the ether is not only uniformly present and all-pervading, but also massive and substantial beyond conception, making it by far the most substantial thing in the material universe. This book offers a compelling look at a concept that has fascinated scientists and thinkers for centuries, and will challenge readers to rethink their understanding of the nature of space and matter.

The Dynamic Ether of Cosmic Space


Book Description

The Cosmic Ether Changes Everything! The historical ether-drift experiments obtained positive results for an ether wind and light-speed variation of 5 to 18 kilometers per second. This negates most of modern astrophysical theory, including Einstein's relativity, the big-bang, black holes, and more. An historical survey of original publications.




The Necessary Structure of the All-pervading Aether


Book Description

In this book I investigate the necessary structure of the aether – the stuff that fills the whole universe. Some of my conclusions are. 1. There is an enormous variety of structures that the aether might, for all we know, have. 2. Probably the aether is point-free. 3. In that case, it should be distinguished from Space-time, which is either a fiction or a construct. 4. Even if the aether has points, we should reject the orthodoxy that all regions are grounded in points by summation. 5. If the aether is point-free but not continuous, its most likely structure has extended atoms that are not simples. 6. Space-time is symmetric if and only if the aether is continuous. 7. If the aether is continuous, we should reject the standard interpretation of General Relativity, in which geometry determines gravity. 8. Contemporary physics undermines an objection to discrete aether based on scale invariance, but does not offer much positive support.




Ether


Book Description

Every culture has its own word for this nothing. Synonymous with the idea of absolute space and time, the ether is an ancient concept that has continually determined our definition of environment, our relations to each other, and our ideas about technology. It has also instigated our desire to know something irrepressibly beyond all that. In Ether, the histories of mysticism and the unseen merge with discussions of the technology and science of electromagnetism. Joe Milutis explores how the ideas of Anton Mesmer and Isaac Newton have manifested themselves as the inspiration for occult theories and artistic practices from Edgar Allan Poe’s works to today. In doing so, he demonstrates that fading in and out of scientific favor has not prevented the ether, a uniquely immaterial concept, from being a powerful force for material progress. Milutis deftly weaves the origins of electrical science with alchemical lore, nineteenth-century industrialism with yogic science, and network space with dreams of the absolute. Linking the ether to phenomena such as radio noise, space travel, avant-garde film, and the rise of the Internet, he lends it an almost physical presence and currency. From Federico Fellini to Gilles Deleuze, Japanese anime to Italian Futurism, Jean Cocteau to NASA, Shirley Temple to Wilhelm Reich, Ether traverses geographical boundaries, spiritual planes, and the divide between popular and high culture. Navigating more than three hundred years of the ether’s cultural and artistic history, Milutis reveals its continuous reinvention and tangible impact without ever losing sight of its ephemeral, elusive nature. The true meaning of ether, Milutis suggests, may be that it can never be fully grasped. Joe Milutis is assistant professor of art at the University of South Carolina. His writing has appeared in such publications as ArtByte, Wide Angle, Film Comment, and Cabinet.




Ether Flows


Book Description

Inspired by a mysterious newscast he witnessed decades ago, Daniel N. Spatucci has spent the last forty years weaving together an overarching theory of the universe's hidden energy: the Ether. Demonstrating connections between subjects as seemingly disparate as electromagnetics, church architecture, ley lines, UFOs, sound waves, pyramids, and music theory, Spatucci ultimately reveals how the flow of Ether unites them all. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Ether Flows might have sounded like science fiction until a couple of years ago, when the Defense Intelligence Agency told Congress they'd been researching advanced theoretical physics concepts like anti-gravity, invisibility, warp drive and wormholes. The book is an intriguing detective story where the author's 40-year quest has been to track down the fundamental force that weaves the universe together, and might explain mysteries ranging from UFOs to the Egyptian pyramids. A fascinating read. " Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defense (Retired) "Daniel N. Spatucci's book is a gift to newcomers and seasoned researchers in the breakthrough-energy technology and new science scene. I hope Ether Flows also reaches people who've never heard about the emerging paradigm yet are open to a more expansive worldview." Jeane Manning, internationally-published author Hidden Energy: Tesla-Inspired Inventors and a Mindful Path to Energy Abundance "Ether Flows is a good introduction to a plethora of related topics on energy and the mysteries of the Ether. It raises more questions than it answers and alerts us to the fact that mechanistic, deterministic, atomization of the universe is just one paradigm. There are others, and whether we are talking of a psychic field, an entangled universe, gravitational waves, or other aspects of the Ether as Daniel N. Spatucci so eloquently describes, the days of our single-mindedness on this question are over."

Philosophy of Physics


Book Description

Philosophical foundations of the physics of space-time This concise book introduces nonphysicists to the core philosophical issues surrounding the nature and structure of space and time, and is also an ideal resource for physicists interested in the conceptual foundations of space-time theory. Tim Maudlin's broad historical overview examines Aristotelian and Newtonian accounts of space and time, and traces how Galileo's conceptions of relativity and space-time led to Einstein's special and general theories of relativity. Maudlin explains special relativity with enough detail to solve concrete physical problems while presenting general relativity in more qualitative terms. Additional topics include the Twins Paradox, the physical aspects of the Lorentz-FitzGerald contraction, the constancy of the speed of light, time travel, the direction of time, and more. Introduces nonphysicists to the philosophical foundations of space-time theory Provides a broad historical overview, from Aristotle to Einstein Explains special relativity geometrically, emphasizing the intrinsic structure of space-time Covers the Twins Paradox, Galilean relativity, time travel, and more Requires only basic algebra and no formal knowledge of physics
