Synopsis

This book presents a physical theory positing that there is only one material substance in the universe and that this substance is known as ether. The author suggests that ether is the primitive element from which the entire universe is made - a kind of mineral proto-plasma that gives rise to all phenomena, from the existence of metals to the aurora. The theory of universal ether dates back to the early days of scientific research and has been supported by many eminent physicists. In this book, the author draws parallels between ether and the Hindu concept of Akasha and relates this theory to the evolution of suns and planets in accordance with the nebular hypothesis. Ultimately, the author concludes that the laws of mechanics apply to a single, fundamental force and that these laws depend upon geometrical relations that may be mathematically expressed.
