ABSTRACT
An entirely different way of trying to reconcile the ether hypothesis with the results of experiments (such as those cited in Chapters 4 and 5) was developed by Lorentz. The theory of Lorentz actually did lead, as we shall see, to such a reconciliation; but, in doing so, it brought up new problems of a much deeper order concerning the meaning of space and time measurements, which laid a foundation for Einstein’s radically new concepts of space and time.
