Description

Ether and Modernity provides a detailed look at the status of the ether as an epistemic object during the early twentieth century. Rather than viewing the ether as a discarded remnant of old science, this collection of contributed papers presents it as a central element of modernity, existing alongside the electron, radioactivity, and X-rays. The text explores how the ether was perceived and defended by influential scientific figures. It examines the roles played by prominent scientists and popularisers such as Oliver Lodge and Arthur Eddington in Britain, Phillip Lenard in Germany, and Dayton C. Miller in the USA. This work is an essential resource for understanding the preservation and defense of scientific concepts during a transformative era in physics and electromagnetic theory.
