Let the locks of the lightning, all bristling and whitening, Flash, coiling me round, While the aether goes surging 'neath thunder and scourging Of wild winds unbound!
Whittaker, History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity; Sir Joseph Larmor, Aether and Matter; A.
The atoms and molecules of every gas e certain definite rates of oscillation, and those waves aether are most copiously absorbed whose periods recurrence synchronise with those of the atomic ups amongst which they pass.
For barely visible redness formic aether is more opaque than sulphuric; for a bright red heat both are equally transparent; while, for a white heat, and still more for a higher temperature, sulphuric aether is more opaque than formic.
As the air of a room accommodates itself to the requirements of an orchestra, transmitting each vibration of every pipe and string, so does the inter-stellar aether accommodate itself to the requirements of light and heat.
It is the motion of these atoms, and not that of any sensible parts of bodies, that the aether conveys.
When the source of heat is a Leslie's cube coated with lampblack and filled with boiling water, the opacity of formicaether in comparison with sulphuric is very decided.
If a single phenomenon could be pointed out which the aether is proved incompetent to explain, we should have to give it up; but no such phenomenon has ever been pointed out.
A broad cliff reflects an Atlantic roller as easily as a ripple produced by a seabird's wing; and in the presence of large reflecting surfaces, the existing differences of magnitude among the waves of aether may disappear.
The elemental particles of the empyrean (aether ignifer) formed the 'moenia mundi.
Thus he speaks of Aether as the fructifying father, of Earth as the great mother of all living things.

Whether the foes strike home, or smite in vain, Blows ring, and echo parted aether through.
XVI Backed by Astolpho, and ascending slow, The hippogryph through yielding aether flew; And next the rider stirred the courser so, That in a thought he vanished out of view.
The red glow of sun-set still touched the waves, and lingered in the west, where the melancholy gleam seemed slowly expiring, while the dark blue of the upper aether began to twinkle with stars.
It seems possible that by the monads Bruno sometimes means the infinitesimal parts into which the aether of space may conceivably be divided.
Again, the incorruptible aether of which the heavens are composed shows its eternal character {7} by moving for ever round in a circle of which God, as Prime Mover, occupies the outermost verge.
It is something remarkable, that though aether will not dissolve gold, it will take from aqua regia the gold that has been previously dissolved in it.
Vitriolic aether is the most common, in consequence of the process by which it is made being the easiest.
By the quick evaporation of aether a considerable degree of cold may be procured; and on this principle it has sometimes been applied to relieve the head-ach and other pains.
AEther does not mix with water in all proportions, like spirit of wine, but ten parts of water will take up one of aether.
Aether has also been detected after the medicine had been freely exhibited.
Kepler was of a similar opinion, and further insisted that the sun was composed of a limpid fluid upon which a luminous aether was reflected, whence its centre was blue, while the limbs were yellow.
The undulatory vibration postulated by Fresnel having been generally accepted as explaining most optical phenomena, it became necessary to determine the mechanical properties of the aether which transmits this motion.
A common feature of nearly all these theories is that the aether is supposed to exist not only in spaces void of matter, but also in the interior of ponderable bodies.
Stokes to explain absorption lines, involves an action between the aether and the molecules of the dispersing substance.
The aether can probably transmit waves of any wave-length, the velocity of longitudinal propagation being about 3.
As to double refraction, Fresnel made it depend on the unequal elasticity of the aether in different directions.
At a later date theories involving an action between the aether and material atoms were proposed, the first of any moment being J.
It holds a part of all I prize Within this world that bounded lies; And when the ashes only shows, The spirit into aether goes.
Dominion o'er the brazen tower, On This your teeth will gnaw in vain, Finding its strength beyond their power: While kindred stars in aether glow, This Pyramid will shine below!
The properties which characterise AEther agree perfectly well with what we have said of its nature, and of the manner in which it is produced.
Can it be a substance of the same nature with AEther, a kind of solid AEther, an AEther in a concrete form?
Another very singular property of AEther is its great affinity with gold, exceeding even that of aqua regis.
Mr. Hellot makes use of the following method for procuring the AEther from the acid vinous Spirit obtained by this distillation.
Shake the bottle; the liquor will become milky, and the true AEther will instantly separate, float upon the water, and mix no more with it.
As soon as you perceive this track begin to grow considerably narrower, the fire must be put out; for what rises afterwards will be mixed with water, and communicate that fault to the AEther already collected in the receiver.
Footnote 1605: Aether is the bright, untainted upper atmosphere, as distinguished from Aer, the lower atmosphere of the earth.
From Chaos came forth Erebus and black Night; but of Night were born Aether [1605] and Day, whom she conceived and bare from union in love with Erebus.
After these aether waves have travelled enormous distances they retain sufficient energy to disturb electrons situated at the distant place.
When these aether waves of light fall upon a triangular prism of glass, the waves are bent out of their normally straight path.
Exactly what happened, I am not at liberty to tell, but this much I may say, that it was the arrival of some aether waves which altered the condition of things among the filings in the tube.
In the preceding description of what is occurring in an electric glow lamp, I have spoken only of those aether waves which constitute light.
The author has given some particulars about the aether in the first chapter (What the Story is about).
Of course these substances have to be incandescent to enable us to produce the aether waves.
How electrons can produce the different aether waves.
Another scientist declared, from certain mathematical calculations, that there existed extremely small particles of something around the atoms of matter, and that it was the motion of these in the aether which produced light.
Our method of producing such waves in the aether is by surging to and fro from atom to atom in an upright wire.
When he examined the aether waves we send out from sodium atoms, he found two very distinct lines in the yellow.
The whole universe is moving in this great aether ocean.
More aether waves arrived, we made a fresh start, then came another rude shaking, and so on we went starting and stopping.
Of course this limitation lies beyond our province; we can produce endless variety of aether waves--it is man's organs which fail to appreciate the bulk of these.
For if the pressure of the aether be the adequate cause of cohesion, wherever that cause operates not, there can be no cohesion.
To the poet's instructed visionaether opens and earth becomes transparent.
He observed that earth, water, and air had settled down to their places, and he imagined fire or the exterior aether to have a place beyond air.

Uranus married Gaea, and before long these two took the power from Aether and Hemera and reigned in their stead.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "aether" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
