Description
A two-day Conference on the Aether was held in Pleasant Hill, California, on July 19-20, 1997. Chaired, organized, and hosted by Norman Silliman, this conference was a first in the developing struggle to improve our understanding of nature. The 12 attendees were mainly from California, Washington, and Utah. Three of the attendees had partial explanations of the aether that will require carefully-defined experiments to prove or disprove.
Various concepts of the aether were discussed. Most of the attendees could agree that there definitely is an aether and it acts like a gaseous or fluid media but is composed of much finer particles than those that make up matter. It was generally accepted that the aether is a primary factor in magnetism, electrostatics, and gravity.
