This influential work by Sir Joseph Larmor explores the theoretical framework of the aether, presenting it as a medium for the propagation of electromagnetic waves and as an essential part of physical reality. It integrates concepts from electrodynamics and the emerging atomic theory of matter, attempting to describe the dynamical behavior of matter in relation to the aether using classical physics. The book represents an important historical contribution to the development of electromagnetic theory and early attempts at unifying physics before the rise of relativity.
