This is a list of past revisions of Luminiferous aether. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.
cur | prev21:18, 2 Aug 2019MudGeometer_1844(talk | contribs). . (1,383 bytes)(+33). . (YOU CANT FIND YOUR JELLY AND I CANT FIND MY PLATE. ONDLY ONE OF US GETS CALLD A CRANK FOR IT)(current)
cur | prevSeptember 2016T. Vogel(talk | contribs). . (1,350 bytes)(+260). . (→ In this encyclopedia: a careful, quantitative, thoroughly reasoned account of something that is not there. the encyclopedia holds it up as the honourable way to be wrong)
cur | prev1964an editor(talk | contribs). . (1,090 bytes)(−40). . (→ marked historical. the page is kept because the arguments made in it were good ones, which is the only reason a wrong page is worth keeping)
cur | prev1925D. Miller(talk | contribs). . (1,130 bytes)(+70) m . . (→ talk: I am not finished. Mount Wilson, and a drift ~~~~)
cur | prev1905A. Einstein(talk | contribs). . (1,060 bytes)(−140). . (→ the introduction of a luminiferous aether will prove superfluous. struck accordingly. nothing here was wrong except the thing itself)
cur | prev1887the Concord(talk | contribs). . (1,200 bytes)(+40) m . . (rv the tone; nothing found is what a still medium predicts. the page stands ~~~~)
cur | prev1887A. Michelson(talk | contribs). . (1,160 bytes)(−110). . (→ Tests: looked for our motion through it, in every direction, and found none)
cur | prev1885E. Quartz(talk | contribs). . (1,270 bytes)(+100). . (→ Properties: rigid enough to carry a transverse wave, thin enough for a planet to pass through unhindered. I do not find this troubling and I am at a loss to say why others do)
cur | prev1871G. Airy(talk | contribs). . (1,170 bytes)(+90). . (→ Tests: filled a telescope with water. the aberration is unmoved. this constrains what may be dragged and does not settle whether there is anything to drag)
cur | prev1865J. C. Maxwell(talk | contribs). . (1,080 bytes)(+180). . (→ the equations do not require it. they permit it, which is a different thing, and I have written them so that either may be believed for the present)
cur | prev1855the Concord(talk | contribs). . (900 bytes)(+120). . (→ adopted as the Concord's first article. a still medium and a still Earth agree in every particular, and we hold both ~~~~)
cur | prev1818A. Fresnel(talk | contribs). . (780 bytes)(+170). . (→ Properties: transverse, which obliges the medium to be rigid. also it must be dragged by water by one minus one over n squared, a figure I obtained by requiring the answer to come out right)
cur | prev1801T. Young(talk | contribs). . (610 bytes)(+150). . (→ Evidence: two slits and a fringe pattern. it waves. what it waves in is the business of this page and not of mine)
cur | prev1678C. Huygens(talk | contribs). . (460 bytes)(+460). . (created; light is a wave, and a wave is a disturbance of something. this page is that something)
Older revisions exist but have not been located. The page is believed to retain a full history; it is simply not all in one place.
