My Philosophy [antikvár]

FOREWORDThe Ether of Space has been my Ufe study, and I have constantly urged its claims to attention. I have lived through the time of Lord Kelvin with his mechanical models of an ether, down to a day when the universe by some physicists seems resolved into mathematics, and the idea of an ether is by them considered superfluous, if not contemptible. I alw^ays meant some day to write a scientific treatise about the Ether of Space; but when in my old age I came to write this book, I found that the Ether pervaded all my ideas, both of this world and the next. I could no longer keep my treatise within the proposed scientific confines; it escaped in every direction, and now I find has grown into a comprehensive statement of my philosophy.Oliver Lodge.9//t February, 1933.
