Lorentz ether theory by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
Lorentz ether theory is a framework in theoretical physics that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was proposed primarily by the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz, who sought to reconcile the electrodynamics of charged particles with the then-contradictory results of the Michelson-Morley experiment, which aimed to detect the presence of the ether — a hypothetical medium through which light waves were thought to propagate.
