Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book looks at the concept of the 'ether', a universal medium proposed to transmit energy and explain phenomena such as light and gravity. The author examines this idea in relation to chemical elements, particularly those discovered more recently, such as argon and helium, which display limited chemical reactivity. Their observations led to a re-examination of the periodic table, with the proposal of a 'zero group' to accommodate these elements, and a 'zero series' for an even lighter element the author suggests could be the ether. The book explores the properties and behavior of the proposed ether, considering its density, atomic weight, and the velocity of its particles. It suggests that ether may permeate all substances and accumulate around heavy atoms, potentially leading to unique phenomena such as those observed in radio-active substances like uranium and thorium. Overall, this book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of the ether and its potential role in understanding fundamental aspects of chemistry and physics. The author's insights provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing scientific discourse on the nature of matter and energy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
