Was the aether truly abandoned—or just redefined?
This episode takes a short but deep dive into the controversial history of the aether—the once-revered, then-rejected, and now-resurgent concept in physics. We explore:
- The aether’s roots in ancient philosophy and its role in classical physics.
- The misunderstood legacy of the Michelson-Morley experiment—did it really disprove the aether, or was its dismissal premature?
- Einstein’s surprising shift: How General Relativity and quantum mechanics subtly revived aether-like ideas under new names.
- Modern theories treating space as a dynamic medium—with implications for energy, consciousness, and the nature of reality.
