Book Description
Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Science, 1869, Vol. 6: With Illustrations on Stone and Wood Is it, as Professor Tyndall supposes, a specific ether, which serves as the vehicle for light and electricity? Does it enter, as he believes it does, into the constitution of material bodies? Or is it excluded beyond the limits of our atmosphere? Or again, is it, as Mr. Grove believes, an attenuated gas or mixture of gases, given off from the atmospheres of the revolving worlds? Let us first endeavour to understand the conceptions of these opposite thinkers, and then to test their respective hypotheses by the best means at our command. Professor Tyndall's conception of a luminiferous ether is that it is a substance almost infinitely elastic, filling all space as with jelly. It fills up the interstices between molecules of all kinds of matter, suffering no rupture of continuity at the surface of the eye, the intermolecular spaces of the various humours being filled with it.t He believes it to form the infinite ocean in which worlds move, and to be the medium for the transmission of light there, as well as in the intermolecular spaces of material substances - in short he regards it as the medium for the transmission of light - (and probably of electricity) everywhere.
