| 11. | We have now to show that the properties of the electromagnetic medium are identical with those of the luminiferous medium ."
|
| 12. | The closest to that concept I can think of is the luminiferous aether, which several experiments have failed to account.
|
| 13. | And your utilization of " luminiferous aether " in a single term scores bulls-eyes in both quagmires.
|
| 14. | Note that I am specifically * not * talking about luminiferous aether or any such medium for EM radiation; just air.
|
| 15. | At that time, Maxwell believed that the propagation of light required a medium for the waves, dubbed the luminiferous aether.
|
| 16. | The famous luminiferous ether and was later understood as convincing evidence in support of special relativity as proposed by Albert Einstein in 1905.
|
| 17. | There was no luminiferous aether in which the wave propagated, because there was not " true amplitude " in a mechanics sense.
|
| 18. | This paper also argued that the idea of a luminiferous aether one of the leading theoretical entities in physics at the time was superfluous.
|
| 19. | This hypothetical medium was called the luminiferous aether, at rest relative to the " fixed stars " and through which the Earth moves.
|
| 20. | The constancy of the speed of light was motivated by Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism and the lack of evidence for the luminiferous ether.
