Description

The Ether of Space is a scientific book written by Sir Oliver Lodge, a renowned physicist and writer. The book discusses the concept of ether, a hypothetical substance believed to fill the space between objects in the universe. Lodge examines the history of ether theory, from its origins in ancient Greek philosophy to its development in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He also explores the role of ether in various scientific disciplines, including electromagnetism, optics, and relativity. The Ether of Space is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of science, as well as those interested in the latest developments in physics and cosmology. Lodge's clear and concise writing style makes this book accessible to both lay readers and experts in the field.1909. Lodge, a physicist and writer, was involved in the development of the wireless telegraph. He coined the term coherer and gained the syntonic (or tuning) patent from the United States Patent Office. More controversially, he was a longtime researcher into psychic phenomena and a dedicated believer in Spiritualism. After 1900 he became prominent in psychical research, believing strongly in the possibility of communicating with the dead. After he lost his son Raymond during WW1 he was convinced to have established contact with him through a medium. The investigation of the nature and properties of the Ether of Space was the most fascinating branch of Physics for Lodge. He presents his findings in this volume. Contents: The Luminiferous Ether and the Modern Theory of Light. The Interstellar Ether as a Connecting Medium; Influence of Motion on Various Phenomena; Experiments on the Ether; Special Experiment on Ethereal Viscosity; Ethereal Density; Further Explanations Concerning the Density and Energy of the Ether; Ether and Matter; Strength of the Ether; and General Theory of Aberration.
