Ethereal Matter PDF Download

Excerpt from Ethereal Matter: Electricity and Akasa It seems as if this ether has, generally, been considered to be a simple and uniform fluid. A somewhatmore unreasonable theory has lately been worked out by Sir William Thompson and others, who consider it to be an elastic solid which fills the whole universe, and who try to illustrate all physical phenomena by the vibrations of an elastic solid. It may be remarked that this theory was held to be orthodox in Sir Wil liam Thompson's time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
