In natural philosophy, aether (a.k.a. "ether") might be considered "the stuff of space", or "the medium" (lit: "that which is between") that carries signals between objects separated by vacuum. "The aether" was sometimes considered to be "the fifth element" (see: "quintessence"), in addition to Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Although it is tempting to talk about "the aether", a number of fairly different theories have been presented over the years that assign "the aether" different properties. When someone talks about proving or d ...

Aether theory was dealt another blow when the Galilean transformation and Newtonian dynamics were both modified by Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, giving the mathematics of Lorentzian electrodynamics a new, "non-aether" context. Like most major shifts in scientific thought, the move away from aether theory did not happen immediately but, as experimental evidence built up, and as older scientists left the field and their place ...

A spacetime that conforms to Mach's principle can be considered to display certain physical characteristics that might otherwise be considered to be properties of a "physical" light-medium, or "aether".

In Hinduism, Prana is the infinite matter of which energy is born. Also interpreted as the vital, life-sustaining force of both the individual body and the universe. Its first expounding came in the Upanishads, where it is part of the worldly, physical realm, sustaining the body and the mother of thought and thus also of the mind. Prana suffuses all living form but is not itself the Atma or individual soul. According to Telles (2005) ancient Indian and Chinese texts contains an understanding of subtle energies (prana or chi) which ope ...

Aetherometry is the name given to the experimental and theoretical study of "massfree energy" developed by biophysicist and molecular biologist Paulo Correa and his collaborator Alexandra Correa. They have also described it as the "science of the metrics of the massfree aether".

Void can refer to: Aether as the source of all elements, the quintessence. Aether as the firmament of the sky or heavens. The absence of matter, a vacuum. A noticeably empty space, such as a defect like a bubble in a (generally solid) material. Nothing, Null, Nil, Zip, Nada in bridge and other trick-taking card games, a "void" describes a holding of zero cards in a particular suit. To cause to be invalid (i.e. to void a check).

The word quintessence is used in different fields: In physics, quintessence is a hypothetical form of energy postulated to exist as a possible explanation of observations of an accelerating universe. In alchemy, quintessence, meaning "fifth element", was another term for aether; it is the substance of which the heavenly bodies were supposed to be composed. In various comic series by DC Comics, the Quintessence is a group of five near-omnipotent beings -- Ganthet, Izaya Highfather, the Phantom Stra

The Akashic Records (Akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning "sky", "space" or "aether") are said to be a collection of mystical knowledge that is stored in the aether; i.e. on a non-physical plane of existence. The concept is common in some New Age religious groups. The Akashic Records are said to have existed since the beginning of Creation. Just as we have various specialty libraries (e.g., medical, law), there are said to exist various Akashic Records (e.g., human, animal, plant, mineral, etc). Most writings refer to the Akashic Records ...
