Indeed one of the most important of our fundamental assumptions must be that the ether not only occupies all space between molecules, atoms, or electrons, but that it pervades all these particles. We shall add the hypothesis that, though the particles ma www.spaceandmotion.com/Physics-Hendrik-Lorentz.htm
