Why the Aether Refuses to Die - Formscapes, DemystifySci #405

In this first part of our latest conversation with Kehlan Morgan
of @Formscapes we trace the aether from ancient cosmology to its
quiet removal from modern physics. More than a discarded medium
for light, the aether once served as the bridge between mind and
matter, form and force, perception and law. Its rejection marked
a profound philosophical shift from material mediation to
abstract formalism and reshaped how reality itself is defined. If
the aether refuses to die, it may be because the questions it
once posed are as relevant to the modern world of quantum physics
as the ancient world of gods and magic.
