Neither Lorentz nor Maxwell used a 'solid' aether.

You always come with interesting comments!
Do you have a reference for me?
Thanks in advance!


For Maxwell's model, see "On Physical Lines of Force", Philosophical
Magazine, Vol XXI, XXIII; 1862, Maxwell. (You'll probably need to
get a
copy from a large University Library, as it's not a popular item.)
The
University of California at Berkeley Library can make a copy for you
and
mail it.

For Lorentz' work, I'd suggest the easiest source is Lorentz' 1904
work
"Electromagnetic Phenomena in a System Moving with Any Velocity less
than
that of Light." Found in "The Principle of Relativity", Dover, first
published 1952. This book also includes several other original
works,
and
is well worth the money.

That last paper I have, but I can't find anything in it about his ether
ideas...
Which paragraph?


Sorry, I wasn't clear. Lorentz didn't use *any* aether in that paper.
(That counts not using a solid aether.) Lorentz used the EM equations of
an
electron. Maxwell used a (super)fluid aether.

Make up your pretended mind about which of those contradictory claims
you want to make.

The standad David Evans kindergarten reply. Bye-bye Davey....

Now that you have dealt with our halucination, would you like to make
up your pretended mind about which of those contradictory claims you
would like to make?
