When the Chester A. Arthur, the world's first and only coal/steam/paddlewheel-propelled spaceship rose into the skies over Buffalo Falls, Pa., who would have expected what followed? Will Professor Thintwhistle and his crew be able to return to earth? Will Miss Taphammer ever find them? Will Jefferson Jackson Clay's foul plot succeed? And what of the King of the Cats?
Author David Thomson and Jim Bourassa have founded the Quantum AetherDynamics Institute, an organization dedicated to understanding the Aether. For the first time in human history, the Aether is fully quantified based upon empirical data. Through a very simple observation noted nearly 200 years ago by Charles Coulomb, the electromagnetic units have been corrected of an error that has led physics astray for so long. Now, electrodynamics expresses in simple dimensional equations, the neurosciences unite with quantum and classical physics, and we can precisely model the geometry of subatomic particles.
The Ethereal Aether is a historical narrative of one of the great experiments in modern physical science. The fame of the 1887 Michelson-Morley aether-drift test on the relative motion of the earth and the luminiferous aether derives largely from the role it is popularly supposed to have played in the origins, and later in the justification, of Albert Einstein’s first theory of relativity; its importance is its own. As a case history of the intermittent performance of an experiment in physical optics from 1880 to 1930 and of the men whose work it was, this study describes chronologically the conception, experimental design, first trials, repetitions, influence on physical theory, and eventual climax of the optical experiment. Michelson, Morley, and their colleague Miller were the prime actors in this half-century drama of confrontation between experimental and theoretical physics. The issue concerned the relative motion of “Spaceship Earth” and the Universe, as measured against the background of a luminiferous medium supposedly filling all interstellar space. At stake, it seemed, were the phenomena of astronomical aberration, the wave theory of light, and the Newtonian concepts of absolute space and time. James Clerk Maxwell’s suggestion for a test of his electromagnetic theory was translated by Michelson into an experimental design in 1881, redesigned and reaffirmed as a null result with Morley in 1887, thereafter modified and partially repeated by Morley and Miller, finally completed in 1926 by Miller alone, then by Michelson’s team again in the late 1920s. Meanwhile Helmholtz, Kelvin, Rayleigh, FitzGerald, Lodge, Larmor, Lorentz, and Poincaré—most of the great names in theoretical physics at the turn of the twentieth century—had wrestled with the anomaly presented by Michelson’s experiment. As the relativity and quantum theories matured, wave-particle duality was accepted by a new generation of physicists. The aether-drift tests disproved the old and verified the new theories of light and electromagnetism. By 1930 they seemed to explain Einstein, relativity, and space-time. But in historical fact, the aether died only with its believers.
“MacLeod is set to become a writer of the magnitude of Dickens or Tolkien.” —The Guardian Aether is industry, industry is magic and the Great Guilds rule the known world. Raised amid the smokestakes, terraced houses and endless subterranean pounding of the aether engines of the Yorkshire town of Bracebridge, Robert Borrows is nevertheless convinced that life holds a greater destiny than merely working endless shifts for one of the Lesser Guilds. Then, on a day out with his mother to the strange gardens and weirdly encrusted towers of a remote mansion, he encounters a wizened changeling, and the young girl in her charge called Anna, and glimpses a world of wonder, mystery and surprise. From then on, as he flees to London in the hope of escape and advancement, and explores its wide streets and dark alleys, and all the tiers of society from the lowest to the highest, he comes to realize that he holds the keys to secrets far bigger than even he imagined. A dazzling melange of Dickens and Peake, flavored with steampunk and magical realism, yet seen through a kaleidoscopically individual gaze, in The Light Ages, double World Fantasy Award winner Ian R MacLeod has created a novel for this and every age. Praise for The Light Ages: “MacLeod's descriptive powers are so effective that you can visualize every detail... [He] skillfully incorporates literary influences ranging from William Blake to Dickens to 1984 and the working class novels of the 1950s—and arrives at something original. Magical, visionary and enthralling, The Light Ages is award-winning stuff.” —SFX “Totally convincing and vividly written, this book invests the dark streets of London with a magic the reader will never forget... a brilliant writer.” —Tim Powers “A haunting fantasy version of Victorian England... brought to life with compassionate characters and lyrical writing.” —The Denver Post “The novel's industrial alternative London echoes Dickens in its rich bleakness and M. John Harrison's Viriconium in its inventive Gothic complexity. A gripping page-turner. A hearty read. Rising star Ian R MacLeod offers an original political fable rivaling in ambition and execution the very best of today's new science fantasies.” —Michael Moorcock
The last thing I expected was to gain the spells of the woman in my bed. Hell, I didn't even know magic existed until I'd cast a spell that morning. Then a beautiful teacher from a magical academy told me I could become the universe's most powerful mage.To get there, I need to become stronger. I need to ace all my examinations. And, most of all, I need to master the most potent spells.But I have to start somewhere.This begins my first year at the Mazirian Academy.
When alchemists from the dregs of a luckless city unlock the mysteries of the Aether, their world becomes a bit more volatile as a mechanist seeks to steal their secret for himself. It's a fight to be recognized, but at what cost?Full of discovery, desperation, and disaster, Aether Spark shows just how destructive man's ambitions can be.
Only one man knows in the entire world. 1. Where did we come from? 2. What is gravity? 3. What is matter? 4. What is dark matter? 5. What is dark energy? 6. What is aether? 7. What is light? After reading his book and finding out the true secrets of the universe, many are forced to wonder if this is, indeed, the greatest discovery of our time. It is a fact that sound waves (mechanical waves) require a material or medium for its propagation such as gas, solids, and liquids. The theory is that all waves need a medium to propagate through empty space, as does electromagnetic waves. As far back as 1678, scientists like Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Nikola Tesla, and the scientific community all believed that light needed a medium to propagate through empty space. Since Einsteins special relativity theory in 1905, the modern scientific community recognizes the vacuum for the propagation of light through empty space, and not aether. Randy Lee Holmes has discovered visual proof and illustrations by more than two hundred photos and forty-six videos of the aether of nature and the universe. All photos and videos show the electromagnetic radiation blueprint of the aether that serves as a medium for all light and electromagnetic waves in nature, the universe, and beyond. The book is guaranteed to answer the seven questions that everyone wants to know. You will not only understand what you read, but you will see the world and the universe come together as one big puzzle. After reading the historical and nonfiction book Aether-Light, you will learn that all living and nonliving things are connected and made of light. Yes, people are made of light. In the beginning, God said, Let there be light.
Arla Lightrider is the newest captain of the Profit and Luck, her late father's aether tradeship. She plans to follow in his footsteps, shuttling cargo through the tradelanes as a member of the Galactic Merchants Compact. Though her work is complicated by the new Imperium government's crackdown on the Compact's unregulated free traders, she thinks she can handle anything the stars throw at her. But when a strange alien offers to pay her handsomely for transport to a fringe world, she becomes caught in a conspiracy that could shake the foundations of the new galactic order. For her passenger carries something the Imperium desperately wants; something it is willing to kill to possess or destroy. And, Arla soon learns, despite the new government's brutal consolidation of power, there are still pockets of resistance alive throughout the galaxy. Not everyone is content to live under the heel of the Aether Imperium. Under the Heel of the Aether Imperium is a 12,000 word steampunk space opera novella.

Bimal G’s book ‘Solving the 111-Year-Old Riddle’ opens an unexplored window of physics for the readers. Through this book, the author has aimed to solve the riddles generated by the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. He believes that something is oddly wrong with the explanations and interpretations of these most celebrated theories even though the equations and its predictions are perfect and powerful. Puzzling paradoxes and logic-defying ideas had confounded the realm of physics ever since the formulation of special theory of relativity in 1905. By flouting reality, the theory of quantum mechanics too challenged common sense. Both these theories failed to give rational explanations to various natural phenomena. This book is a bold attempt to demystify the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics, which seem besotted with mathematical formalism than logical reasoning. It seeks to unite the two strong pillars of physics, fix the inconsistencies between them, and fill in the missing link by giving a new avatar to absolute space and time. In the process, the author puts forth a revolutionary new theory that removes paradoxes in the realm of physics, redefines the puzzling inertia and explains the riddling dark matter & dark energy along with other natural phenomena and scientific experiments.
