The Ether Dispute
Revisiting Einstein's argument that space is a physical substance By: Richard J. Wilson JD
User: author
There’s an unresolved dispute over the physical nature of space. It occurs because of what Bacon called our “dull and deceptive human senses.” On one hand, space appears empty. This led biblical and modern cosmologists to conclude space is an “empty vacuum.”
But, when astrophysicists from Newton to Einstein studied space, they found it exhibits physical behaviors – for example, it physically carries light and heat from the sun to earth. This led the astrophysicists to conclude space is an invisible substance called “the ether.”
Since the Cold War, discussion of the conclusion of astrophysics has been quietly banned from establishment forums as a blasphemous product of “godless communism.” In this book, our author revisits the dispute, and argues it needs to be revived and resolved scientifically.
