Post🔍 What do we really know about the Ether?

🔍 What do we really know about the Ether? I keep receiving messages with the same question: "Where can I read about this? Are there real sources?" Yes. There are. And these are not obscure footnotes — they are primary works by physicists, chemists, philosophers and researchers who dedicated decades of their lives to this subject. Before the term was institutionally removed from the textbooks. Take your time. Read for yourself. Nobody has to believe anyone — but read the originals. On the history: when did the Ether disappear from science? No single date. A process — and a politically institutional one at that. 1887 — Michelson and Morley conducted their interferometer experiment. The null result was interpreted as a refutation of the Ether — though strictly speaking it was not: it merely showed that the Earth produced no measurable drift through a stationary Ether. Nothing more, nothing less. Also in 1887, the mathematician Woldemar Voigt published the transformation equations that would later serve as the foundation of the Lorentz transformation. H.A. Lorentz incorporated these equations into his electro-theory in 1904 — without mentioning Voigt's name. Only in 1913, in a footnote of a monograph, did Lorentz acknowledge the equivalence with Voigt's 1887 work. In the early 1920s, the Ether was institutionally removed from standard textbooks. Not because it had been disproved — but because it was deemed "unnecessary" for the newly established mathematical models. 1931 saw the publication of "One Hundred Authors Against Einstein", edited by Dr. Hans Israel, Dr. Erich Ruckhaber and Dr. Rudolf Weinmann — a documented scientific dissent that to this day is barely cited. 📚 Primary sources — books and texts on the Ether (1700–1925) All of the following works are available as original texts, most of them free of charge on archive.org, gutenberg.org or rexresearch.com.
