What does ether mean?

Ethernet (or Ethernet translation; English: ether or ether)

Ether is Greek, meaning high altitude, referring to the air breathed by the gods in the sky. In cosmology, it is sometimes used to represent the matter occupying celestial space.

Other Explanations of Ether The word ether was given a new definition in the movie Everything in Zhou Lili.

Ether is considered as the space given by Lily, and it is everywhere. Everyone has his own unique etheric inner world.

Greece

A medium that philosophers first thought of. 17th century later, physicists put forward it again to explain the propagation of light and the interaction between electromagnetism and gravity. At that time, it was thought that light was a mechanical elastic wave, but because it can propagate in vacuum, it must be assumed that there is an ether that has not been discovered by experiments as the medium for propagating light. This medium is ubiquitous, weightless and "absolutely static", and electromagnetic and gravitational effects are its special mechanical effects. The concept of ether was generally accepted by people in the 19th century, but scientists have never been able to prove its existence through experiments. At the beginning of the twentieth century, with the establishment of the theory of relativity and the further study of fields, it was determined that the propagation of light and all interactions were through various fields, not through mechanical media, and ether was abandoned as an old concept.

In Meng's view, ether is equated with moral concepts such as "benevolence" and "unbearable heart".

Sitong Tan

In Benevolence and Theory of Ether, ether is described as a colorless, silent and tasteless substance ubiquitous in the universe, but at the same time it has made various spiritual explanations.

Confucius

"Benevolence", "Yuan" and "Sex",

mohists

Universal love, Buddhist compassion and the soul of Christ are all considered as functions of the ether.

Sun Yixian

In Sun Wen's theory, ether is regarded as the source of the material world, and it is considered that it "moves to produce electrons, which condense into elements, and elements combine into matter, and matter gathers into the earth", so it has no spirituality.

Although we can see light, no one can directly see the ether, but we can only determine it indirectly. Of course, even indirect methods, as long as they can be determined by observation instruments, can still be regarded as evidence of the existence of ether.

3. Energy/magic

Generally speaking, the word "ether" often appears in games with European cultural style, which generally means energy. For example, the Japanese game Final Fantasy series is famous for its huge worldview in which magic and science coexist.

In the game, ether represents energy or magic, and so on; Ether potion usually refers to energy potion or magic potion.
