Abstract

How was ether, an epistemic object largely accepted in the 19th century, regarded in the early 20th century? An older generation of philosophers saw the end of the ether as a paradigmatic case of falsification in science; but far from being unproblematically rejected, the ether was for many one element of modern physics and modernist culture. This text offers a snapshot of the status of an epistemic object, the 'ether' (or 'aether'), in the early twentieth century.

Abstract

Among the widely agreed facts of physics in the late nineteenth century was the existence of luminiferous ether: the medium through which light was thought to travel. Theorised to be a highly rarefied substance, the ether accounted for the movement of light, gravity and even heat across a vacuum. It also had great implications for spiritualism. Where thought was not proven to be a result of chemistry in the brain, the presence of ether allowed for the idea that cognition and emotion might exist independently of a physical body. First published in 1925, this monograph by the eminent physicist and ether advocate Sir Oliver Lodge (1851-1940) was written for the non-scientific reader. With a focus on straightforward explanations rather than mathematical theory, his book still represents a fascinating introduction to the topic today.
