Abstract
THE idea of a universal physical æther seems to be getting terribly in the way. According to Dr. Jeans, in the Supplement to NATURE of March 7, p. 362, “It was something more than a coincidence that Newton, Kelvin, Clerk Maxwell, and Faraday [the advocates of an æther] were all British, while Boscovich, Einstein, and Weyl are not.” Descartes is not mentioned.
