9780282651664: Physics of the Ether (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore Physics of the Ether and a bold critique of action at a distance, told as a rigorous look at early theories of energy and matter.

The book examines how traditional ideas about force, energy, and motion apply to the behavior of molecules, gases, and electric phenomena. It argues against the notion that distance alone can govern interactions and offers a detailed view of how ether pressure, molecular subdivision, and vibration might explain cohesion, chemical action, and the fast transmission of electrical signals. Written for readers who seek a historical perspective on physics and a clear challenge to established explanations, the work balances theoretical argument with consequences for how we understand matter and energy.


  • See a systematic critique of long-held ideas about action at a distance and attraction.

  • Learn how the author ties molecular division, surface area, and ether pressure to chemical and physical processes.

  • Explore theories on how electricity propagates and how stationary vibrations relate to static and dynamic states.

  • Gain perspective on the historical development of energy concepts and their mechanical implications.



Ideal for readers of scientific history and those curious about foundational debates in physics.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
