Contents 1 Mythological origins 2 Fifth element 3 Legacy 4 In fiction 5 References 5.1 General Mythological origins Main article: Aether mythology It has been suggested that Aether mythology be merged into this article or section. Discuss The word αἰθήÏ? aithÄ“r in Homeric Greek means pure, fresh air or clear sky, imagined in Greek mythology to be the pure essence where the gods lived and which they breathed, analogous to the air breathed by mortals also personified as a deity, Aether, the son of Erebus and Nyx. It corresponds to the concept of akasha in Hindu philosophy and is linked to Brihaspati or the planet Jupiter and the center direction of the compass. It is related to αἴθω to incinerate2, also intransitive to burn, to shine related is the name Aithiopes Ethiopians, meaning people with a burnt black visage. See also Empyrean. Fifth element Plato's Timaeus posits the existence of a fifth element corresponding to the fifth remaining Platonic solid, the dodecahedron called quintessence, of which the cosmos and all celestial bodies are made. Aristotle included aether in the system of the classical elements of Ionic philosophy as the fifth element the quintessence, on the principle that the four terrestrial elements were subject to change and moved naturally in straight lines while no change had been observed in the celestial regions and the heavenly bodies moved in circles. In Aristotle's system aether had no qualities was neither hot, cold, wet, or dry, was incapable of change with the exception of change of place, and by its nature moved in circles.3 Medieval scholastic philosophers granted aether changes of density, in which the bodies of the planets were considered to be denser than the medium which filled the rest of the universe.4 Robert Fludd stated that the aether was of the character that it was subtler than light. Fludd cites the 3rd century view of Plotinus, concerning the aether as penetrative and non-material.5 Legacy Main article: Aether theories The concept of the aether impacted science long after scientists had rejected the ancient theory of the five elements. Prior to fully modern theories of electromagnetism, many scientists applied the term aether to the pervasive medium through which they thought light must propagate. The modern understanding of electromagnetism, including Einstein's particle theory of light and various scientific experiments of general relativity, has removed the need for a substance like aether to fill the otherwise empty parts of the universe. Newton's and Maxwell's aether model the latter being a classic static aether were both developed from this classical element. However, the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887 led to the decline of the aether model. Albert Einstein, in an interpretation he offered for his theory of special relativity, dismissed it, as per Occam's razor. He later reinstated a logical need for an aether in a commentary on his theory of general relativity according to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable. In fiction In Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, Hamlet famously asks Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, What is this quintessence of dust?, in reference to his growing inability to understand what distinguishes humanity from nature. The 1997 Luc Besson movie, The Fifth Element, oppositionally portrayed the perfect being played by Milla Jovovich as a fifth element, whose powers were awakened by Love. In many role-playing games, ether is magic in a tangible form. Imbibing ether allows one to instantly recover magical power. Ether appears as such an item in the Final Fantasy series. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Aether is a special move by Ike during which he throws up Ragnell, jumps to catch, and spins in mid-air before descending in a two-handed strike. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, this move can also restore health. References ^ ether. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. 4th ed.
