Rejecting the Newtonian notion of action at a distance, Hooper argues that this subtle medium underlies phenomena such as heat, light, electricity, and planetary motion, offering a unified mechanical explanation for both terrestrial physics and cosmic structure. Though superseded by modern physics, the work illustrates early twentieth-century efforts to reconcile classical mechanics with emerging theories of matter and energy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mobilis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48139954159808,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8273\/0176\/files\/3005_1.jpg?v=1775838913","url":"https:\/\/www.mobilisbooks.com\/products\/hooper-aether-and-gravitation-1903","provider":"Mobilis Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
