The only issue that remained was at once simpler and less ponderable.

The term is used in contrast with ponderable matter.

Material particles, also called ponderable matter, that have rest mass, were recognized as having equivalent amounts of energy.

In thermodynamics, an open system is one which can take in and give out ponderable matter.

For Gingrich, though, everything is ponderable, particularly the imponderables.

This special kind of matter, however, appeared to be lacking in the fundamental property of inertia; and, the forces acting between these masses and the ponderable matter remained obscure.

A profound formal difference exists between the theoretical concepts that physicists have formed about gases and other ponderable bodies, and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetic processes in so-called empty space.
