  2. Lorentz ether theory - Wikipedia

    And referring to the Fizeau experiment, he even wrote: "The aether is all but in our grasp." He also said the aether is necessary to harmonize Lorentz's theory with Newton's third law. Even in 1912 in a paper called "The Quantum Theory", Poincaré ten times used the word "aether", and described light as "luminous vibrations of the aether". [A 19]

  3. Aether theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories

    In the 19th century, luminiferous aether (or ether), meaning light-bearing aether, was a theorized medium for the propagation of light. James Clerk Maxwell developed a model to explain electric and magnetic phenomena using the aether, a model that led to what are now called Maxwell's equations and the understanding that light is an ...

  4. Aether (classical element) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_(classical_element)

    In his aether model, Newton describes aether as a medium that "flows" continually downward toward the Earth's surface and is partially absorbed and partially diffused. This "circulation" of aether is what he associated the force of gravity with to help explain the action of gravity in a non-mechanical fashion. [26]

    And made from (or placed in) Aether was the cosmic egg, from which hatched Phanes/Protogonus, so Aether was sometimes said to be his father. [9] The Orphic Argonautica gives a theogony that begins with Chaos and Chronus, and has Chronus producing Aether and Eros. [10] Aether also played a role in Roman genealogies of the gods.

  6. Electrofishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrofishing

    Electrofishing is a fishing technique that uses direct current electricity flowing between a submerged cathode and anode. This affects the movements of nearby fish so that they swim toward the anode, where they can be caught or stunned. [1]

  7. Solunar theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solunar_theory

    The solunar theory is a hypothesis that fish and other animals move according to the location of the moon in comparison to their bodies. [1] The theory was laid out in 1926 by John Alden Knight, but was said to be used by hunters and fishermen long before the time it was published.

  8. Einstein-aether theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein-aether_theory

    These generally covariant theories describes a spacetime endowed with both a metric and a unit timelike vector field named the aether. The aether in this theory is "a Lorentz-violating vector field" [1] unrelated to older luminiferous aether theories; the "Einstein" in the theory's name comes from its use of Einstein's general relativity ...

  9. Reel Fishing: Wild - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reel_Fishing:_Wild

    Anthony Chau of IGN wrote, "Reel Fishing Wild is a pretty decent fishing game that, unlike SEGA's fishing game, doesn't capture the exciting elements of fishing, but the whole fishing experience overall. That's a nice goal, but the game doesn't accomplish this with average visuals, plain play mechanics, and music that will send you to bed."
