luminiferous ether

"On the relative motion of the earth and the luminiferous ether".

A luminous body imparts vibration to the luminiferous ether.

Smooth and perfect as the luminiferous ether.

They called the medium a "luminiferous ether."

And will denying Luminiferous Ether make me a facist?

He applied the term 'Luminiferous Ether' to the formative substrate.

And so will I. You are not going to shoot down the luminiferous ether which animates our souls.

For example, in the early twentieth century the scientific consensus was that there existed an absolute frame of reference, given the name luminiferous ether.

Prior to Einstein, it was thought that this speed was relative to a fixed medium, called the luminiferous ether.

Michelson-Morley experiment, a scientific experiment regarding the luminiferous ether.

He proposed that light was emitted in all directions as a series of waves in a medium called the Luminiferous ether.

Therefore, special relativity very quickly gained wide acceptance among physicists, and the 19th century concept of a luminiferous ether was no longer considered useful.

The major premise of the book is matter is an inherently unstable substance and slowly transforms into luminiferous ether.

We have, for example, a metal, a piece of wood, a drop of water, the atmosphere, a gas, caloric, electricity, the luminiferous ether.

This interesting story is told in Chapter 4 of, entitled From Luminiferous Ether to the Boeing 757.

Challis supported the wave theory of light and advanced the theory of a luminiferous ether as a medium for its propagation.

"Luminiferous Ether" - 3:55

(The scientifically trained student will observe the analogy between Levi's postulate and that of ordinary science "in re" the luminiferous ether.)

The constancy of the speed of light was motivated by Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and the lack of evidence for the luminiferous ether.

He considered the astral light the medium of all light, energy and movement, describing it in terms that recall both Mesmer and the luminiferous ether.

As already noted herein Faraday, and before him, Ampère and others, had inklings that the luminiferous ether of space was also the medium for electric action.

He points out that the history of science has seen many posits once considered real entities, such as phlogiston, caloric, the luminiferous ether, and vital forces, thus eliminated.

He recognised that sound is propagated by waves or oscillations of the atmosphere, as light was then believed to be by undulations of the luminiferous ether.

It measured the Sagnac effect due to Earth's rotation, and thus tests the theories of special relativity and luminiferous ether along the rotating frame of Earth.

The name comes from the luminiferous ether that was at one point thought to be the medium through which electromagnetic waves propagate, like sound waves propagate through air.
