Book excerpt: Though commonly associated with the name Albert Einstein, Samuel Tolver Preston published the formula E = mc2 in 1875, four years before Einstein was born. Unlike Einstein, Preston fully grasped the significance of the tremendous store of energy the equation represents. He engineered machines to take advantage of the energy source, including the atomic bomb. In 1875, Samuel Tolver Preston calculated the mass-energy equivalence with the equation E = mc2 in his book PHYSICS OF THE ETHER, which is republished in full. He proposed methods of obtaining atomic energy and generating superconductivity. Adopting the mechanical gravitational theory of George Louis LeSage, S. Tolver Preston presented a comprehensive physical theory of gravity and electromagnetism, analogous to the kinetic theory of gasses and based upon an aether composed of subdivided matter, whose particles travel at light speed and possess the energy of their mass times the speed of light squared. Preston's works forecast and inspired numerous discoveries and technologies that would shape the Twentieth Century. He wrote almost exclusively in highly polished prose and the non-mathematical reader will find it easy to understand his writings. Preston was an eloquent proponent of science and championed female collegiate education in the 1880's. In another anticipation of the theory of relativity, he fully relativized unipolar induction in the same terms Albert Einstein would repeat decades later as justification for a new theory of the electrodynamics of moving bodies known as the special theory of relativity. His insightful and creative articles were eagerly sought by journals around the world and inspired other authors of science, as well as science fiction. In addition to Christopher Jon Bjerknes' history of Preston and his innovations, the book republishes an extensive collection of Preston's works, including Preston's books PHYSICS OF THE ETHER and ORIGINAL ESSAYS, and 116 thought provoking and historically important journal articles and letters to the editor. SAMUEL TOLVER PRESTON: FATHER OF E = mc2, THE ATOMIC BOMB AND ATOMIC ENERGY by Christopher Jon Bjerknes is the first and only account and collection of Samuel Tolver Preston's works and achievements. It is an unprecedented and long overdue documentation of this largely forgotten genius and his many significant accomplishments, which cannot be found anywhere else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ethereal Aether is a historical narrative of one of the great experiments in modern physical science. The fame of the 1887 Michelson-Morley aether-drift test on the relative motion of the earth and the luminiferous aether derives largely from the role it is popularly supposed to have played in the origins, and later in the justification, of Albert Einstein’s first theory of relativity; its importance is its own. As a case history of the intermittent performance of an experiment in physical optics from 1880 to 1930 and of the men whose work it was, this study describes chronologically the conception, experimental design, first trials, repetitions, influence on physical theory, and eventual climax of the optical experiment. Michelson, Morley, and their colleague Miller were the prime actors in this half-century drama of confrontation between experimental and theoretical physics. The issue concerned the relative motion of “Spaceship Earth” and the Universe, as measured against the background of a luminiferous medium supposedly filling all interstellar space. At stake, it seemed, were the phenomena of astronomical aberration, the wave theory of light, and the Newtonian concepts of absolute space and time. James Clerk Maxwell’s suggestion for a test of his electromagnetic theory was translated by Michelson into an experimental design in 1881, redesigned and reaffirmed as a null result with Morley in 1887, thereafter modified and partially repeated by Morley and Miller, finally completed in 1926 by Miller alone, then by Michelson’s team again in the late 1920s. Meanwhile Helmholtz, Kelvin, Rayleigh, FitzGerald, Lodge, Larmor, Lorentz, and Poincaré—most of the great names in theoretical physics at the turn of the twentieth century—had wrestled with the anomaly presented by Michelson’s experiment. As the relativity and quantum theories matured, wave-particle duality was accepted by a new generation of physicists. The aether-drift tests disproved the old and verified the new theories of light and electromagnetism. By 1930 they seemed to explain Einstein, relativity, and space-time. But in historical fact, the aether died only with its believers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physics of the Ether Surely, if a thing be stated to be practicable, the least to be required is that some idea should be formed of the means by which the result or mechanical end is to be attained, and this perception of the means constitutes the sole ground to support the assumption as to practicability. If, on the other hand, a thing be assumed to be practicable without any perception of the means, then the assumption falls away of itself from want of ground to support it.

This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Crookes' long life was one of unbroken scientific and business activity, culminating in his appointment as President of the Royal Society in 1913. Throughout his career he was an important science journalist, the discoverer of thallium, the inventor of the radiometer, investigator of cathode rays and the vacuum, a spectroscopist of significance in rare earth chemistry, and a spokesman for a chemical solution to the problems with the world's food supplies. He was also, and perhaps most controversially, an occultist who played a significant role in spiritualism in the 1870s, and was involved with D.D. Home (Browning's Mr Sludge) and other notable mediums of the day. Previous literature on Crookes has tended to focus on his involvement with the spiritualists, sometimes to the detriment of his many scientific achievements. This, the first biography of William Crookes, gives us the whole man: one of the most complex, public, and interesting figures in the history of science. Professor Brock guides us through the abundant catalogue of Crookes' accomplishments, placing his scientific activities in the context of the business of making a living from science - something that Crookes did principally as a science journalist and editor with his Chemical News (the model for today's Nature), and by business enterprises ranging from water analysis, sewerage schemes, and goldmining to the design of electric light bulbs. We also see Crookes in the lab, as an independent researcher, and learn the processes behind his discovery of thallium, his investigations into matter and energy, and his crucial work on cathode rays. We see the public man, the celebrity who was much sought after for his opinions on the latest discovery, and who was widely regarded as Britain's leading scientist at the beginning of the twentieth century. Scientist, spiritualist, entrepreneur: Sir William Crookes' extraordinary life and many endeavours provide a unique window into Victorian and Edwardian science and industry.
