Again, it is entirely in accord with our second Rule of Philosophy, as it in no way violates the results of experiment, experience, or observation. Look where we will, or at what we will, whatever we see, touch, taste, or smell is termed matter. The burning sun, the glowing star, the flying meteor, the glowing comet, the earth, our own island home, the towering rock, the wide ocean, the running river, the green trees of the forest, the tiny insect, the lordly elephant, all animals, plants, and our own physical body, all are composed of matter, either in solid, liquid or gaseous form. Therefore when we affirm that Aether is matter, the affirmation is strictly in accordance with the elementary principles of Philosophy, and in no way violates their rules or laws. To affirm that Aether is not matter, is to affirm something contrary to all experience, unless it be affirmed that Aether is motion, for which assumption the evidence is not nearly so strong or conclusive as that it is matter. Therefore the objector to this assumption is himself unphilosophical, in that he postulates or supposes that the Aether is a medium, with qualities which lie altogether outside the range of our experience and observation. There is a growing conviction in the minds of scientific men, that Aether belongs to that group of things which we describe by the term matter. Lord Kelvin in giving an address to the British Association, 1901, on "Clustering of Gravitational Matter in any part of the Universe," said: "We are all convinced with our President (Professor Rucker) that _Aether is Matter_. Aether we relegate to a distinct species of matter which has inertia, rigidity, elasticity, compressibility, but not heaviness." Dr. Larmor in _Aether and Matter_ writes: "Matter must be constituted of isolated portions, each of which is of necessity a permanent nucleus belonging to the Aether, of some such type as is represented for example by a minute vortex ring in a perfect fluid." Faraday in relation to this subject writes (_Exp. Res._, vol. ii.): "The view now stated of the composition of matter would seem to involve the conclusion that matter fills all space, or at least all space to which Gravitation extends, _including the sun and its system_, for Gravitation is a property of matter dependable on a certain Force, and it is this Force which constitutes matter." As the Aether fills all space, including the solar system, therefore, according to Faraday, "Aether must also be Matter."
