Journeys Through Bookland, Vol. 4 And the silence would come again; and anon the weak thrilling of the Aether; but no more the far voice speaking in my soul. The Night Land By accepting the hypothesis that Aether is matter, we do away with the third class of essentials in the universe, and so reduce the number to two classes. Aether and Gravitation I come not boasting back from the hills under Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far It was no globe—it was a world of many facets, of smooth and polished planes; a huge blue jewel world, dimly luminous; a crystal world cut out from Aether.

Myth, Ritual and Religion — Volume 1 Aether we relegate to a distinct species of Matter which has inertia, rigidity, elasticity, compressibility, but not heaviness.” Aether and Gravitation Moomoomon: She would go by Aether Mountain, where her mother went once before her. Plays of Near & Far Up to the present I believe no satisfactory explanation has been given of this fact, but with the conception of the rotating Aether as given in Art. Aether and Gravitation We must also remember that the Aether is rotating round the sun as that body proceeds through space. Aether and Gravitation Slowly, but surely, the mass of condensed Aether begins to respond to the attractive power of the sun, and to move through space towards the sun. Aether and Gravitation If therefore Aether be matter, then, to be strictly logical and philosophical, it must be conceded that Aether is gravitative, as well as having the other properties of matter, as elasticity and inertia, etc. Aether and Gravitation Oomuz: Follow not after, Master, when she goes to Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far So long as it is moving towards the sun, it is encountering and having to overcome the resistance of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation The result is, that as the resistance is increased, so there is greater friction between the matter of the comet and the atomic Aether in space, and, in consequence, heat is generated. Aether and Gravitation What is the relation, then, of this glowing nebulous matter to this universal Aether? Aether and Gravitation As Young points out, this invisible and elastic Aether fills all space and floods the universe at large. Aether and Gravitation Zoon: I wait to follow the Queen when she goes to Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far When there is added to the atomic Aether the conception of a rotatory aetherial atom, as was indicated in Art. Aether and Gravitation With the conception of the Aether as advanced in this work, this hypothesis is perfectly philosophical and logical. Aether and Gravitation Is there any relation therefore between Aether and electricity? Aether and Gravitation Hence everywhere, where material and physical things are, there, as the medium of their existence and energy, the Aether is; and where the Aether is not, no material or physical thing is, or can be. Aether and Gravitation Zoon: There will be no idle hours on Aether Mountain, following from crag to crag; if it be true that she would go that way. Plays of Near & Far A rough and crude statement adopted for popular use is that electricity and Aether are identical. Aether and Gravitation That there is a definite relation between Aether and electricity is as certain as there is a definite relation between electricity and light. Aether and Gravitation According to the conception advanced in that chapter, on the hypothesis that Aether was matter, we philosophically came to the conclusion that Aether was atomic, and therefore gravitative. Aether and Gravitation Thus the Aether is both universal and infinite in its extent. Aether and Gravitation Oh, if they had not you had not gone to the door and seen Aether Mountain, and this trouble had not come. Plays of Near & Far Here, again, we have further evidence of the identity that exists between Aether and electricity. Aether and Gravitation Then we learned that Aether possessed density, and also different degrees of density, and the question arises as to whether there is anything corresponding to this property in electricity. Aether and Gravitation From aetherial and electrical density, therefore, we have another proof of the close identity that exists between Aether and electricity. Aether and Gravitation Now I premise, that in the theory of the Aether to be submitted in this work, the physical interpretation of this statement of Maxwell's will receive its literal fulfilment. Aether and Gravitation Queen: There is no trouble upon Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far See Appendix A. It can further be demonstrated that electricity possesses elasticity the same as the Aether does. Aether and Gravitation The identity, therefore, that exists between Aether is now almost complete. Aether and Gravitation As we have established, logically, the identity that exists between Aether and electricity, the question arises now as to whether they are not one and the same medium. Aether and Gravitation From these considerations therefore we are compelled to come to the conclusion that Aether, like all other matter, is subject to the same universal Law of Gravitation. Aether and Gravitation Oozizi: Can it be that it is with you, great lady, as it was with the Queen, your mother, when Destiny sent her hence to Aether Mountain? Plays of Near & Far Dr. Larmor suggests that a vortex ring may have this constitution in his work on Aether and Matter. Aether and Gravitation The simple hypothesis that Aether is matter, fulfils to the very fullest extent all requirements demanded by the experience of all the scientists and experimentalists that the world has ever known. Aether and Gravitation To assert that Aether is not matter is to assert a proposition contrary to all the accumulated experience of the past generations. Aether and Gravitation We have not the slightest reason to believe that Aether is imponderable. Aether and Gravitation On the snow on the pinnacle of Aether Mountain, with only bright blue sky all round and everywhere, recline Queen Zoomzoomarma and the Prince of Zoon. Plays of Near & Far Therefore, if Aether is matter, then its fundamental qualities must be those which belong to and are associated with all matter, those qualities being atomicity, gravity, density, elasticity, inertia, and compressibility. Aether and Gravitation So that by the conception that Aether is matter, in its primordial state, we have more than fulfilled all that was premised should be done. Aether and Gravitation Thus the long-sought-for and long-expected cause of Gravitation, together with the cause of the two complementary forces, is found in the simple statement that Aether is matter, with all that is logically included therein. Aether and Gravitation Reflection and refraction of light are produced by a change of density of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation All over the wide surface we can see are troubles; troubles far off and grey, that harm not Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far Kepler's Laws and Newton's Laws of Motion also receive a physical explanation in the same universal electro-magnetic Aether. Aether and Gravitation Further, astronomical hypotheses in relation to comets and nebulae are not untouched by the theory of a compressible and condensing atomic Aether. Aether and Gravitation Indeed, there is not a phase of natural phenomena which is not affected in some way or other by the philosophical result arrived at that Aether is matter in its original state. Aether and Gravitation It is now generally accepted that the optical difference of bodies depends mainly on the different densities of Aether in association with those bodies. Aether and Gravitation Queen: The silence is like music on Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far The hypothesis that Aether is atomic was suggested by such men as Newton, Huyghens, Descartes, Challis, Clerk Maxwell, and others. Aether and Gravitation That Aether is gravitative has been suggested by Young, Grove, Faraday, and Lord Kelvin. Aether and Gravitation Huyghens, Fresnel, and Young postulated different degrees of density for the Aether, while Stokes and McCullagh have affirmed and proved different degrees of elasticity of the medium. Aether and Gravitation The density of the Aether is greater in liquids and solids than in gases, and greater in gases than in vacuo. Aether and Gravitation He falls off Aether Mountain, behind it out of sight. Plays of Near & Far In reply to that, I should like to point out, that even that objection only strengthens the conception of the Aether that we are endeavouring to complete. Aether and Gravitation We have learned that the Aether is gravitative, and that it also has an electro-magnetic basis is proved from Maxwell's electro-magnetic theory of light. Aether and Gravitation What that surrounding magnetic medium deprived of all material substance may be, I cannot tell, perhaps the Aether.” Aether and Gravitation Here then we have given to us an indication of what is the possible state of things in relation to the gravitation of the Aether, and all bodies in solar and stellar space. Aether and Gravitation How could she run over the moor as far as Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far Again, from the conception of the Aether presented to the reader in Art. Aether and Gravitation The gyrations may either be immediately generated by the rotations of the bodies about their axes, or directly result from disturbances of the Aether caused by their motions of translation. Aether and Gravitation For example, there is the problem of the relation of moving matter to the Aether around it which still remains unsolved. Aether and Gravitation The analogy is so perfect, that one is almost tempted to believe that the atmosphere and the Aether are in some way intimately associated with each other. Aether and Gravitation You must not leave your throne to go to Aether Mountain. Plays of Near & Far But circulating round the sun, in the same direction as the rotation of the sun on its axis, we have the electro-magnetic Aether, with its wide-spreading flow and extensive electro-magnetic field. Aether and Gravitation Sir G. Stokes does not, however, say how the Aether is held bound to the earth, and apart from an Aether which is gravitative, no satisfactory explanation can be given. Aether and Gravitation Further, it is noticeable, that he suggests that the other planets also carry part of the Aether associated with them along with each planet as it pursues its journey. Aether and Gravitation Some years ago Lord Kelvin was of the opinion that the Aether was but an extension of the atmosphere, though I am not certain whether he holds that view at the present time. Aether and Gravitation Zoon: Though it be death, yet once again upon Aether Mountain in heaven I kiss your hand. Plays of Near & Far We have also seen that Professor Challis believed in the circulatory or rotatory motion of the Aether, as also did Amp�re. Aether and Gravitation We are now in a position to answer some queries regarding the motions of the Aether asked by Herschel in his work on Astronomy, p. Aether and Gravitation So that by postulating a rotatory movement for the Aether around the sun, as we have done in Art. Aether and Gravitation On the strictly philosophical assumption that Aether is matter, and therefore atomic and gravitative, the whole question of the inertia of the Aether is reduced to one of common experience. Aether and Gravitation That the Aether does grow denser and denser nearer to a body we have already seen in Art. Aether and Gravitation In this Aether medium we have, according to this conception, something that can both push and pull, or exert force upon any body with which it comes into contact. Aether and Gravitation What, therefore, is the effect of the decreased density of the Aether on each planet? Aether and Gravitation It is the electro-magnetic Aether currents that produce the regular decrease in the velocity of the planets in their orbits, because of the regular decrease of the mass and velocity of the Aether currents themselves. Aether and Gravitation Let us revert to the question of a stationary Aether for a moment or two, and let us ask ourselves, where is the evidence for such an assumption? Aether and Gravitation As we have already learned, this force is due to the universal electro-magnetic Aether, which being gravitative, surrounds all atoms and molecules that may exist throughout the whole universe. Aether and Gravitation If we consider the rotating Aether currents as purely currents of electricity, then exactly the same results follow. Aether and Gravitation We have again to conceive the sun as the centre of two equal but exactly opposite forces, and also possessing a rotatory motion on its axis, with the electro-magnetic Aether currents ever circulating round it. Aether and Gravitation In the conception of the atomic and gravitating Aether which rotates round the sun, I venture to premise will be found the physical solution of this phenomenon also. Aether and Gravitation The truth is, that the universal Aether is in eternal motion, and that motion forms the physical life of the universe. Aether and Gravitation That is exactly what it is, though Herschel failed to show why it should be the denser part of the Aether, as we have seen is the case, on account of its being gravitative. Aether and Gravitation If, therefore, we had desired fuller confirmation of this atomic gravitating Aether, we could not have wished for more conclusive proof than that given by one of the greatest philosophical astronomers of the last century. Aether and Gravitation Therefore the physical cause of Gravitation must be sought for in the same medium which gives the physical cause of the companion force, and that medium is the electro-magnetic Aether. Aether and Gravitation But the transference of the energy of radiant heat and light is not the only evidence we have in favour of the existence of an Aether. Aether and Gravitation Year in and year out, the motions of the Aether remain the same, governed by the same laws and producing the same effects. Aether and Gravitation From this hypothesis we arrived at the conclusion, that wherever there was Aether, there we found electricity, because of the electro-magnetic basis which Aether possesses. Aether and Gravitation Indeed, in the minds of several scientists there is a growing conviction that Aether and Electricity are possibly one and the same substance. Aether and Gravitation A rough and crude statement adapted for popular use is that Electricity and Aether are identical. Aether and Gravitation I premise that the new conception of the Aether, to be submitted in the after pages, will satisfactorily account, and that on a philosophical basis, for this phenomenon. Aether and Gravitation Age after age, the Aether has been moving, producing by its various motions the continuity of that beauty, order, and harmony that govern the universe as a whole. Aether and Gravitation Lastly, one of the most interesting discoveries of the present day will receive an added confirmation and explanation in the conception of the Aether medium to be advanced. Aether and Gravitation On the present conception of the Aether such a result is an absolute impossibility. Aether and Gravitation With the theory of the Aether, however, to be submitted to the reader in this work, the result is possible and attainable. Aether and Gravitation The atomicity of the Aether has already been suggested by such scientists as Clerk Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, Dr. Larmor, and Professors Lodge and J. J. Thompson. Aether and Gravitation As each satellite, or planet, or star moves through the universal Aether, it takes with it its surrounding Aether as indicated in Art. Aether and Gravitation I premise that I will conclusively prove that this statement finds its literal fulfilment in the theory of the Aether that will be developed in this work. Aether and Gravitation With the theory that Aether is matter, and therefore possesses mass, his conception is now brought within the range of physical explanation, as well as mathematical calculation. Aether and Gravitation Dr. Larmor, in his Aether and Matter, has successfully applied the principle of the atomicity to the Aether, on what is termed the “Electron” basis. Aether and Gravitation He states that an electron is nothing more or less than “a point singularity in the electro-dynamic and optical Aether.” Aether and Gravitation So that energy is always flowing from the sun into the surrounding space in the form of light, heat, and electricity, the medium of its passage being the universal Aether. Aether and Gravitation But Professor Lodge, in his Modern Views of Electricity, states that “the Aether is composed of positive and negative electricity, the combination of these two forming the Aether medium.” Aether and Gravitation So that the most recent researches into electricity confirm and establish the atomicity of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation For several hundred years, the physical cause of Gravitation has been outstanding, while the world has held the conception that Aether is a gravitationless and frictionless medium. Aether and Gravitation If such an argument be advanced against a gravitating Aether, then I must differ from those scientists who advance such an objection. Aether and Gravitation By means of the Aether, motion in the form of light and heat may be transmitted from one atom and molecule to another. Aether and Gravitation My contention is that the gravitating properties of the Aether have already been made the subject of some of the most refined and delicate experiments that have been made during the past few years. Aether and Gravitation I believe it is almost unanimously conceded by all scientists, that their experiments prove that the Aether is carried along by the earth. Aether and Gravitation Where is there a similar analogy in Nature to that of the Aether being carried along through space by the earth? Aether and Gravitation This property has already been postulated for the Aether, in order to account for certain phenomena in connection with the reflection and refraction of light. Aether and Gravitation So that in Radiation, the atom, molecule, or body parts with motion to the Aether, while in Absorption it gains motion from the Aether. Aether and Gravitation A compressing force seems to be exerted on the Aether by the molecules of these bodies.” Aether and Gravitation The Aether has been such a hypothetical medium, that it has been easy to postulate for it certain properties, if certain phenomena have demanded the existence of those properties. Aether and Gravitation Thus if the Aether were required to be elastic, then elasticity was postulated for it; if more elastic, then greater elasticity was added. Aether and Gravitation The atmosphere also possesses different degrees of density, so does the Aether. Aether and Gravitation All are creating Aether waves which move away with the velocity of light. Aether and Gravitation Now the question at once arises, what is the effect of the increased density of the Aether near the body upon the elasticity of the Aether? Aether and Gravitation From the analogy of sound in air, we arrive at the conclusion that Boyle and Marriotte's Law equally applies to the Aether, as it does to the atmosphere of any planet. Aether and Gravitation If Aether be matter, therefore, then it must also possess inertia. Aether and Gravitation This property of inertia is already postulated for Aether by scientists, and to that extent is conformable to the Rules of Philosophy. Aether and Gravitation Now in the previous quotation given in this article from the same authority, he states that the atoms are immersed in the Aether. Aether and Gravitation The motion of Aether communicated to material substances throws them into motion. Aether and Gravitation Aether, therefore, according to Tyndall, “is a substance or medium endowed with inertia, and capable, in accordance with Newton's Laws of Motion, of imparting its motion to other substances.” Aether and Gravitation If, however, the Aether is frictionless, as has generally been supposed, then it cannot possess inertia, because to the extent that a body possesses inertia, to that extent it is opposed to being frictionless. Aether and Gravitation To suppose that the Aether is frictionless, and yet possesses inertia, is to suppose something altogether opposed to all the Rules of Philosophy and therefore of experience. Aether and Gravitation So that evidently in his opinion the Aether and the resisting medium are one and the same. Aether and Gravitation It is, at least to my mind, difficult to conceive of mass without weight or without atomicity, and yet that is the unphilosophical position of the present state of science in relation to the Aether. Aether and Gravitation Here, then, from the realm of heat we have another argument in favour of the fact that Aether is gravitative, and therefore possesses mass and inertia. Aether and Gravitation Light, therefore, like heat, is due to a periodic wave motion set up in the Aether by the vibrating atomic motion of heated or luminous bodies. Aether and Gravitation Now, however, with our atomic Aether, it is just as easy to conceive Aether transmitting a wave as it is for air to transmit sound waves, or water to transmit water waves. Aether and Gravitation Now if heat be motion, and be primarily due to the vibratory motion of Aether, what must be the volume and the intensity of the aetherial waves, known as heat waves, generated by the sun? Aether and Gravitation Tyndall, in his Lectures on Light, seems to have appreciated the difficulty, and to avoid confusion, again and again refers to a particle of Aether. Aether and Gravitation Thus it can be seen that the elasticity of the Aether, so essential to the undulatory theory, is a problem that cannot be solved apart from recognizing the hypothesis of an atomic Aether. Aether and Gravitation So that in relation to the elasticity and density of the Aether upon which the transmission and reflection of wave motion depend, an atomic and gravitative Aether establishes and confirms the undulatory theory. Aether and Gravitation Let us briefly review our conception of the Aether before making the application. Aether and Gravitation So that not only heat, but light also, it would appear, is due to certain periodic wave motions that are set up in the Aether by the vibrations of hot or luminous bodies. Aether and Gravitation In the first place, because Aether is gravitative, we learned from Art. Aether and Gravitation Now what is the property of the Aether on which all reflection and refraction is based? Aether and Gravitation As Young points out in his Fourth Hypothesis, every particle of matter has an attraction for the Aether by which it is accumulated around it with greater density. Aether and Gravitation Now the question suggests itself, as to whether it is possible to reconcile the two theories in relation to the refraction of light by our conception of an atomic and gravitative Aether. Aether and Gravitation The question therefore arises, how many wave motions are there in the Aether? Aether and Gravitation So that by our theory of an atomic and gravitating Aether, it seems to me that it now becomes possible to reconcile the two theories. Aether and Gravitation The harmonizing of the two theories, therefore, seems to rest upon the atomicity or non-atomicity of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation What analogy, may be asked, is there in electro-magnetic phenomena to correspond to this elasticity and inertia of the Aether, so essential to the propagation of light? Aether and Gravitation That which has actually been accomplished is the storing up of energy in the Aether around the jar. Aether and Gravitation It must not be forgotten that the waves of Aether, as pointed out in Art. Aether and Gravitation This storing up of energy is analogous to pulling aside the lath, and is the making use of the elasticity of the Aether, in order to produce a tendency to recoil. Aether and Gravitation In these operations the elasticity of the Aether is called into play. Aether and Gravitation As has already been indicated, all electric phenomena are due to motions of the universal Aether. Aether and Gravitation That this conception of the universal Aether in its application to solar space is not extravagant may be proved from the writings of Prof. Tyndall and Clerk Maxwell. Aether and Gravitation Thus the vibration of the air is said to be longitudinal, but the vibrations of the Aether are transversal. Aether and Gravitation I therefore premise, that both these statements will find a literal fulfilment in the conception of the Aether advanced and perfected in this work. Aether and Gravitation Now let us see how such a conception compares with our hypothesis of a gravitative Aether. Aether and Gravitation If Aether be gravitative, then the sun must have an attraction for the Aether, and its aetherial field would stretch out into space as far as Neptune at least. Aether and Gravitation Again, if Aether be gravitative, then all the planets must also have an aetherial field, which will be co-extensive with their electric field also. Aether and Gravitation Now the question suggests itself to our mind, as to what effect the atomicity of the Aether has upon the undulatory theory of light. Aether and Gravitation Thus we get a glimpse, though at this point very shadowy and indistinct, of those motions of the universal Aether, which help to constitute the harmony, beauty, and order of the universe. Aether and Gravitation We have also learned that Aether has an electrical basis, as proved by Maxwell and Hertz, so that we learn that every atom has really an aetherial electric atmosphere in association with it. Aether and Gravitation The fact that the Aether is held bound to a planet has already been suggested by Sir G. Stokes to account for the aberration of light already referred to. Aether and Gravitation Both light and heat are transmitted through space with finite velocity through the intervention of a medium, the universal Aether. Aether and Gravitation We have to remember that every particle and atom of matter in existence are ever vibrating, and by their vibrations are ever creating and generating Aether waves in the aetherial medium. Aether and Gravitation This problem will also be dealt with from the standpoint of our new conception of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation I premise that this will be done in the theory of the Aether to be submitted to the reader in the after pages of this work. Aether and Gravitation With the present conception of a frictionless Aether, however, it is philosophically impossible for the Aether to exert force on any body that may exist in it. Aether and Gravitation Yet the Aether is supposed, in some unknown manner, to possess inertia, which property is also dependent on mass. Aether and Gravitation It is absolutely certain that the electro-magnetic theory of light demands the recognition of some form of atomicity for the Aether. Aether and Gravitation If the Aether really possesses inertia, then it must possess mass, and possessing mass it ceases to be a frictionless medium. Aether and Gravitation Therefore when we affirm that Aether is matter, the affirmation is strictly in accordance with the elementary principles of Philosophy, and in no way violates their rules or laws. Aether and Gravitation Therefore the objector to this assumption is himself unphilosophical, in that he postulates or supposes that the Aether is a medium, with qualities which lie altogether outside the range of our experience and observation. Aether and Gravitation Aether we relegate to a distinct species of matter which has inertia, rigidity, elasticity, compressibility, but not heaviness.” Aether and Gravitation Therefore, from the electro-magnetic theory of light, we are again compelled to postulate atoms of some kind for the Aether. Aether and Gravitation As the Aether fills all space, including the solar system, therefore, according to Faraday, “Aether must also be Matter.” Aether and Gravitation It may be thought by some that the hypothesis that I have advanced is already conceded, and that the fact that Aether is matter is already admitted by scientists and advanced thinkers generally. Aether and Gravitation It is already admitted by some of our most advanced scientists that Aether is matter, but that admission is only carried partially to its logical conclusion. Aether and Gravitation For either Aether is matter, or it is not matter. Aether and Gravitation If there are electrical atoms in association with the Aether, then they must be of two kinds, positive and negative, as it is impossible to find positive electricity disassociated from negative. Aether and Gravitation That the Aether is universal is proved by the phenomena of light. Aether and Gravitation But, as Professor Rucker stated, all the evidence on matter points out and supports the theory of its atomicity, and, therefore, the only logical and philosophical conclusion is, that Aether is atomic also. Aether and Gravitation Again, it may be suggested that we cannot see or touch an atom of Aether, and that it is not only invisible, but apparently incapable of being made sensible to our senses. Aether and Gravitation To be consistent, therefore, we must either cease to call Aether matter, or else admit that Aether, like all other matter, is gravitative. Aether and Gravitation We have already seen that light is due to a wave motion of the Aether, and it can be demonstrated that the various colours of light are due to different wave lengths. Aether and Gravitation This universal law in view of a gravitationless Aether would have to be amended to “Some particles of matter attract some other particles.” Aether and Gravitation Now during all this time, what has the Aether been doing, or what part has it played in the expansion and changing of the solid to a liquid? Aether and Gravitation So that whenever the Aether is set in motion by flame or heat, its motion would be transmitted by waves of some kind to the iron ball. Aether and Gravitation If the Aether be frictionless, then the waves of Aether known as aetherial heat waves ought to pass between the atoms as water passes through a sieve, or wind passes through a forest. Aether and Gravitation We have to remember that light is caused by wave motions in the Aether, so that we have here a wave motion which is travelling through the Aether at the enormous rate already quoted. Aether and Gravitation That it is due like heat to some periodic wave motion in the Aether is known, but the exact character of that wave motion has yet to be determined. Aether and Gravitation In order to account for this wave motion, he supposed all space to be filled with a luminiferous Aether, which would be to his light waves what air is to sound waves. Aether and Gravitation We will suppose that an undulatory movement is started by a luminous body at point A situated in the Aether, and surrounded by that medium. Aether and Gravitation Now let us compare this explanation of the transmission of light by an atomic Aether with the celebrated Huyghens' principle which is thus enunciated. Aether and Gravitation What must be the energy which exists in space due to the wave motion of the Aether? Aether and Gravitation But in the generally accepted theory of the Aether, such a term is unknown and unrecognized, with the obvious result that the definite and simple statement of Huyghens loses all its simplicity and meaning. Aether and Gravitation Let us therefore revert to our hypothesis of the Aether as given in Art. Aether and Gravitation What intense activity it must generate in the Aether near its surface! and what must be the direct effect of that heat upon the aetherial elastic envelopes or shells which surround it? Aether and Gravitation Let us therefore apply the result of this simple experiment to our solar system and the Aether, and see if it can be made to explain the transverse vibration of light. Aether and Gravitation From the time it left the luminous body till it reached the lighted or absorbing body, it must have existed as energy, that is, motion in the Aether. Aether and Gravitation But with a frictionless medium, it is an absolute impossibility to conceive of different degrees of density of the Aether in association with matter. Aether and Gravitation A ray of light is a line perpendicular to the Aether waves which are propagated through space in concentric spheres from the luminous body, which, by its atomic vibrations, gives rise to the light waves. Aether and Gravitation There is nothing, I venture to predict, in Maxwell's hypothesis which cannot be accounted for on a truly physical basis, by the conception of the Aether as given in this work. Aether and Gravitation From the foregoing extracts taken from Maxwell's writings, we learn that the constitution of the Aether, as given in Art. Aether and Gravitation Even this theory does not tell us what is the exact character or nature of the periodic wave motion of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation We learn by experiment, that these lines are closest together nearest to the magnet, which fact agrees with the statement that Aether is gravitative, and therefore the Aether would be densest nearest the sun. Aether and Gravitation So that our explanation of this term, as used by Clerk Maxwell, is, that this kinetic energy is indeed due to the momentum of the moving Aether. Aether and Gravitation But with a frictionless Aether such a hypothesis, although correct, was philosophically untenable. Aether and Gravitation Now, in relation to this question, the answer is that every rotating body in the Aether is undoubtedly an electro-magnet. Aether and Gravitation All it tells us is, that the electro-magnetic wave motion of the Aether is the same in nature and character as the wave motion which produces light and heat. Aether and Gravitation Some scientists hold that the planetary and other bodies in space pass through the Aether without disturbing it, while others hold that part of the Aether is carried along by the moving planet. Aether and Gravitation Fresnel assumed that the surrounding Aether was carried along by the earth, so that all relative phenomena would be the same as if the earth were at rest. Aether and Gravitation We will therefore attack the problem of the relative motion of the earth and the Aether around it from this new standpoint. Aether and Gravitation Where in the whole of planetary phenomena do we find similar conditions which exist between the Aether and the earth? Aether and Gravitation This phase of the Aether is entirely in harmony with Dr. Larmor's Hypothesis of Electrons, which has already been referred to in Art. Aether and Gravitation The atmosphere is atomic, the Aether is also atomic. Aether and Gravitation Let us suppose that the atmosphere extends 200 miles above the earth, and that there we come to the pure Aether of universal space. Aether and Gravitation It is interesting in relation to this point to note Herschel's view of the effect of the rotation of any body upon the Aether. Aether and Gravitation It further conclusively proves that not only is the Aether carried along with the earth, but that the Aether circulates round the earth in the same way that the atmosphere circulates round the earth. Aether and Gravitation Electro-static energy is said to be that phase of electricity in which we deal with stresses set up in the Aether by an electrified body at rest, whether that body be small or large. Aether and Gravitation Now let us for a moment ignore the existence of the centripetal force, and then in that light view the influence of the electro-magnetic Aether waves upon Mercury. Aether and Gravitation Now what will be the effect of these circular or rotatory Aether currents on the bodies situated within their field? Aether and Gravitation Thus it can be seen that the velocity of the rotating Aether will be greatest at the surface of the sun, but its angular velocity will decrease the further the medium recedes from the sun. Aether and Gravitation But the centrifugal force in each case is due to the pressure of the Aether, which presses always proportionately to the density of the Aether surrounding the atom or molecules, as suggested by Professor Challis. Aether and Gravitation Thus we affirm that the sun is an electrified body, which like any other electrified body is capable of generating electric waves, and speeding them through the Aether with similar velocity to that of light. Aether and Gravitation As must readily be seen, it is the inevitable result of the established working of the electro-magnetic Aether currents. Aether and Gravitation If the sun is an electro-magnetic body, by its axial rotation it generates rotating Aether currents, and those Aether currents partake of the same rotation as the revolving body, that is, from west to east. Aether and Gravitation Now what is the effect of the decreased distance upon the circulating or rotatory Aether currents? Aether and Gravitation Now let us look at the Earth being circled round the sun by the electro-magnetic Aether currents as it goes on to perform the other half of the orbit. Aether and Gravitation We have the sun revolving in the Aether medium represented by the circle S in Fig. Aether and Gravitation This view of the Aether has already been developed by Dr. Larmor in his Electron Basis of the Aether, as in that hypothesis he postulates both positive and negative electrons. Aether and Gravitation We now proceed a step further and analyze the Aether into two constituents, two equal opposite constituents, each endowed with inertia and each connected to the Aether by elastic ties. Aether and Gravitation The two constituents are called positive and negative electricity respectively, and of these two electricities we imagine the Aether to be composed.” Aether and Gravitation Further, this inductive action will be subject to the same laws of electricity as the centrifugal force is, which is the repulsive power due to the pressure of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation We have learned that Aether has an electro-magnetic basis, and it is that very fact which gives rise to the existence of these lines of force. Aether and Gravitation Now the question arises, as to whether the orbits of the comets which are so variable can be explained by the motions of the Aether which we have already ascribed to it? Aether and Gravitation We have to conceive of this condensed Aether situated north and south of the plane of the ecliptic, and situated probably millions of miles away. Aether and Gravitation This rotation of the Aether plays a most important part in the phenomena stated. Aether and Gravitation Whether the comet is approaching the sun, or receding from the sun, it is still subject to the influence of this rotatory Aether medium. Aether and Gravitation Therefore, in the solar system, there must be this kinetic energy due to the motion of a moving body, which is the electro-magnetic Aether. Aether and Gravitation Thus we are led to the conclusion, that the gaseous matter, be it hydrogen or nitrogen, must have some relation to the electro-magnetic Aether that is so universal in its extent. Aether and Gravitation If we consider Aether to be matter, we postulate that it has rigidity enough for the vibrations of light, but we have no right to say that it is absolutely incompressible. Aether and Gravitation We must admit that sufficiently great pressure could condense the Aether in a given space, allowing the Aether in the surrounding space to come in towards the ideal shrinking surface.” Aether and Gravitation Each collision would give rise to a train of waves in the Aether. Aether and Gravitation We have, however, just arrived at the conclusion that in the solar system there is ever going on a circulatory or rotatory movement of the electro-magnetic Aether forming currents around each electro-magnet. Aether and Gravitation For with the present conception of a frictionless Aether, such a hypothesis is altogether untenable, because it supposes something that is contrary to all experience and observation. Aether and Gravitation Therefore one of two results must follow, either that the Aether is not frictionless, but possesses weight; or, that the condensation of the Aether is not possible. Aether and Gravitation With the theory of Aether presented in this work, the whole question receives a simple and philosophical solution. Aether and Gravitation So that it is exceedingly probable that nebulae are nothing more nor less than condensed Aether, the same as comets were suggested to be condensed Aether. Aether and Gravitation In view of the theory of the Aether presented in this work, however, both Clerk Maxwell's and Von Helmholtz's statements find their literal and perfect fulfilment. Aether and Gravitation Again, the condensation of the Aether, composed as it is of its atoms, ever in a state of rotation, does away with the Primitive impulse which was objected to in Art. Aether and Gravitation But there may be two aspects of one Aether, just as there are two sides to a sheet of paper.” Aether and Gravitation In order to find out how far the relationship and identity between Aether and electricity extend we will review our conception of the Aether as given in Chapter IV. Aether and Gravitation We shall find, as we proceed, that the only possible medium which can fulfil this condition, is the universal Aether, whose qualities and properties are already partly known and partly understood. Aether and Gravitation Now let me ask, What is the effect of an electric current continually circulating round any magnet in the same way that the electro-magnetic Aether continually circulates round the earth, which is a magnet? Aether and Gravitation At the present time, with the conception of a frictionless Aether, it is impossible to harmonize the existence of such a force or motion with our theory of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation The underlying principle of this Vortex Atom is, that matter may be entirely due to the rotating parts of a fundamental medium, the Aether, which fills all space. Aether and Gravitation An atom of Aether reveals itself to the senses in the same way that an atom of hydrogen or oxygen does, that is, by the force or energy which it exerts. Aether and Gravitation Now I put it to any intelligent man, and ask him which is the simpler conception of Aether? Aether and Gravitation Now all these conditions are satisfactorily fulfilled, and have been shown to be satisfactorily fulfilled, from the phenomena of heat, light, and electricity in their relation to the universal Aether. Aether and Gravitation Let us also test the question by our second Rule of Philosophy, and we shall find greater evidence still for the statement that Aether is gravitative. Aether and Gravitation Let us consider the question whether Aether is, or is not gravitative, from another aspect. Aether and Gravitation Again, in view of the fact that the Aether is atomic, it can now be easily understood how it may be subject to Gravitation. Aether and Gravitation Now Aether is atomic as has been shown, and therefore from that standpoint it is also gravitative. Aether and Gravitation We have learned from Chapter IV. that as Aether is gravitative, it surrounds all satellites and planets, suns and stars that exist in the universe. Aether and Gravitation That problem may be stated as follows: Does the presence of matter affect the Aether in any way, so as to load or make it denser? Aether and Gravitation The neighbourhood of gross matter seems to render Aether more dense. Aether and Gravitation We shall see that this is so when we come to deal with the density of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation So that every planet, satellite, every sun or star has its atmosphere, if I may so term it, of Aether, which obeys and follows the same laws as the earth's atmosphere does. Aether and Gravitation Thus we arrive at the fact that wherever there is a body moving in space, it is moving solely because it is pushed along, or carried round its controlling centre by the rotating Aether currents. Aether and Gravitation In view of the transmission of light through space with a definite and finite velocity, we are compelled to regard Aether as possessing elasticity, similar to that of an elastic solid body. Aether and Gravitation Apart, however, from the atomicity of the Aether, it is exceedingly difficult to understand how such a property can belong to it. Aether and Gravitation If the Aether therefore be atomic, as is pointed out in Art. Aether and Gravitation From the sphere of light and heat, we learn that the Aether possesses certain motions which are always exerted in a direction from the central body, which gives rise to the light- and heat-waves. Aether and Gravitation Or we can accept Professor Lodge's theory, that Aether is made up of positive and negative electricity. Aether and Gravitation Light is also a mode of motion, being due, as far as solar light is concerned, to the periodic wave motion of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation A wave of Aether starting from a radiant point in all directions in a uniform medium constitutes a spherical shell, which expands with the velocity of light or of radiant heat. Aether and Gravitation It is this Aether, then, that is concerned in the propagation of light, and is the universal medium which is to light what air is to sound. Aether and Gravitation The question has been asked by various scientists, “Is Aether Electricity, or, in other words, are Aether and Electricity one and the same?” Aether and Gravitation So that, if the sun acts on the earth, by the centrifugal force, it acts on it solely through and by the pressures which are originated in the atomic Aether by the central body. Aether and Gravitation From these analogies, therefore, we come to the conclusion that electricity and magnetism have an aetherial basis, and are also due to certain kinds of motion in the Aether. Aether and Gravitation That motion may be rotatory motion or vibratory motion, as the case may be, but whatever definition we give of electricity, we cannot as yet say definitely that Aether is electricity. Aether and Gravitation Now, whether this hypothesis is correct or not, it is absolutely certain that the sun is an electrified body, as it gives rise to electro-magnetic waves in the Aether, as philosophically proved by direct experiments. Aether and Gravitation Maxwell then went on to show what these physical actions were, which took place in the dielectric--that is, the medium surrounding the electrified body which we now know to be the Aether. Aether and Gravitation If the sun attracts the earth, by the centripetal force, that action can also be traced to the tensions that are originated among the atoms of the electro-magnetic Aether. Aether and Gravitation Such a result is exactly what should happen provided that Aether has an electric basis, and that Aether is gravitative. Aether and Gravitation Now such a result is entirely in harmony with the conception of the Aether as given in this work. Aether and Gravitation For, if Aether possess an electric basis as suggested by Maxwell, and it is also gravitative as suggested in Art. Aether and Gravitation Thus Hertz has shown that both electric and magnetic effects are propagated through the Aether with finite velocity, and that that velocity is exactly the same as the velocity of light. Aether and Gravitation Because, if the Aether becomes condensed at all, it must be condensed into gaseous and solid matter, and all experiments and observation teach us that both these forms of matter possess mass and weight. Aether and Gravitation We have also seen that there is a centrifugal force in all electric fields, which is due partly to electric waves, and partly to the magnetic waves of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation So that throughout the whole realm of space, and indeed wherever there is Aether, there we have the conditions which give rise to magnetic phenomena, such as those already indicated. Aether and Gravitation Does the Aether play any part in their existence, and if so what? Aether and Gravitation It may be the vibration of the hypothetical Aether, or a state of tension of that Aether equivalent to either a dynamic or static condition.” Aether and Gravitation We shall deal with this aspect of Aether more fully when we come to deal with the Nebular Hypothesis, as the same principle underlies that hypothesis as underlies the origin and development of comets. Aether and Gravitation We also learn from the electro-magnetic theory of light that Aether has an electro-magnetic basis, which gives rise to electro-magnetic waves when disturbed, or set in motion by any heated or luminous body. Aether and Gravitation So that by following Sir G. Stokes' suggestion, we practically arrive at the same conclusion in relation to the motions of the Aether that we have already arrived at from magnetic phenomena. Aether and Gravitation The whole view of the Aether is, however, changed by the conception of the Aether put forward in Chapter IV. Aether and Gravitation Both are subject to the same laws of elasticity and density, and both are gravitative, according to our conception of the Aether. Aether and Gravitation Thus, comets may be formed at any time in interstellar space out of the Aether that exists there, provided the conditions of its formation are to be found there. Aether and Gravitation The conclusion which is arrived at from their experiments is, that the Aether is carried along with the earth as it rushes on its journey through space. Aether and Gravitation So that the mass of the Aether at Mercury, which is equal to the number of aetherial atoms per unit volume, is greater than the mass at Venus. Aether and Gravitation So that spectroscopic results seem to confirm this hypothesis, as the pure Aether that would surround every star, or multiples of stars, would certainly not reveal any dark lines by means of the spectroscope. Aether and Gravitation The suggestion which arises to our mind in view of the atomic and gravitating Aether is, that the planetary nebulae are exactly what their names imply, that is, nebulous matter around planets. Aether and Gravitation When we come to deal with the question of the formation of the tail, we shall find that every reflection made by Herschel is satisfactorily fulfilled by the conception of a gravitating and condensing Aether. Aether and Gravitation What these spiral or whirlpool nebulae are, is unknown, but, on the hypothesis of a condensing and gravitating Aether which is in a state of rotation, the spiral nebulae can be easily pictured. Aether and Gravitation Now in view of the identity that exists between Aether and electricity, as proved by Hertz' experiments, the only logical conclusion that can be arrived at is, that Aether must also possess mass and inertia. Aether and Gravitation From these extracts, taken from Modern Views of Matter, the author claims that the theory of the Aether presented to the reader in Aether and Gravitation receives added confirmation and support.
