2. 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 ...

3. Aether theories - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_theories

   As historians such as John Stachel argue, Einstein's views on the "new aether" are not in conflict with his abandonment of the aether in 1905. As Einstein himself pointed out, no "substance" and no state of motion can be attributed to that new aether. [10] Einstein's use of the word "aether" found little support in the scientific community, and ...

4. Special relativity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

   The results of various experiments, including the Michelson–Morley experiment in 1887 (subsequently verified with more accurate and innovative experiments), led to the theory of special relativity, by showing that the aether did not exist. [20] Einstein's solution was to discard the notion of an aether and the absolute state of rest.

5. History of special relativity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_special_relativity

   So the physicists were confronted with two seemingly contradictory experiments: the 1886 experiment as an apparent confirmation of Fresnel's stationary aether, and the 1887 experiment as an apparent confirmation of Stokes' completely dragged aether. [15] A possible solution to the problem was shown by Woldemar Voigt (1887), who investigated the ...

6. Solutions of the Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

   But if one requires an exact solution or a solution describing strong fields, the evolution of both the metric and the stress–energy tensor must be solved for at once. To obtain solutions, the relevant equations are the above quoted EFE (in either form) plus the continuity equation (to determine the evolution of the stress–energy tensor):

7. Relativity priority dispute - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_priority_dispute

   p. 40: "The cradle of special theory of relativity was the combination of Maxwellian electromagnetism and the electron theory of Lorentz (and to a lesser extent of Larmor) based on Fresnel's notion of the stationary aether…. It is well known that Einstein's special relativity was partially motivated by this failure [to find the aether wind ...

8. Aether drag hypothesis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_drag_hypothesis

   For George Stokes (1845) the model of an aether which is totally unaffected or only partially affected by moving matter was unnatural and unconvincing, so he assumed that the aether is completely dragged within and in the vicinity of matter, partially dragged at larger distances, and stays at rest in free space.

9. Super Science Friends - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Science_Friends

   Super Science Friends is an animated web series created by Brett Jubinville and broadcast worldwide on YouTube and on Crunchyroll's VRV Channel in the United States. The series revolves around a group of super-powered scientists, including Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Charles Darwin, Sigmund Freud and Tapputi, who are brought together by Winston Churchill to travel through time ...
