"Szczepan Bialek" wrote in message
... It was not the discussion. I only citate the Giants: "In 1867 Lorenz wrote: " Ludvig Valentin Lorenz, "On the identity of the vibrations of light with electrical currents," Philosophical Magazine, Vol. 34, 1867, p. 287-301" http://books.google.pl/books?id=caJd...page&q&f=false On p. 301 he wrote: "The present general opinion regards light as consisting of backward and forward motions of particles of aether." If this were the case the electrical current would be the progressive motion of the aether in the direction of the electrical current." Note that it reads "... The PRESENT general OPINION ...". That was in 1867 and was an opinion so presumably it was neither a theory nor a proven fact. We have the benefit of research made over the intervening 145 years. It is probably unwise to quote from books / articles / papers if you do not understand them. |
