Luminiferous aether or ether[ 1 ] ( luminiferous meaning 'light-bearing') was the postulated medium for the propagation of light. [ 2 ] It was invoked to explain the ability of the apparently wave -based light to propagate through empty space (a vacuum ), something that waves should not be able to do. The assumption of a spatial plenum (space ...
Aether theories. In the history of physics, aether theories (also known as ether theories) propose the existence of a medium, a space-filling substance or field as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces. Since the development of special relativity, theories using a substantial aether fell out of use ...
Classical elements. According to ancient and medieval science, aether ( / ˈiːθər /, alternative spellings include æther, aither, and ether ), also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. [ 1] The concept of aether was used in several theories to ...

Etheric plane. The etheric plane (see also etheric body) is a term introduced into Theosophy by Charles Webster Leadbeater and Annie Besant to represent the subtle part of the lower plane of existence. It represents the fourth [higher] subplane of the physical plane (a hyperplane ), the lower three being the states of solid, liquid, and gaseous ...
It is composed of islands of light yellow rock floating in a void, populated by gangly ominous-looking humanoid creatures called Endermen and cities in the outer regions. Additionally, players can download the Aether mod to be able to travel to a dimension of islands floating in the sky.
Timeline of luminiferous aether. The timeline of luminiferous aether (light-bearing aether) or ether as a medium for propagating electromagnetic radiation begins in the 18th century. The aether was assumed to exist for much of the 19th century—until the Michelson–Morley experiment returned its famous null result.
