In the first place, a history of physical aether is propounded, a history of that initially considered hypothetical substance which should fill empty space, and whose properties would vary depending on the scientific phenomenon and the temporal scientific context under consideration. Secondly, in the light of this history and from the present time, several reflections are made about the general problematics of Physics and Philosophy and some of their correlated traditional problems: The problem of space, the problem of empty space, the problem of matter, and, particularly, the problem of aether.
首先,提出了物理以太的历史,即对最初被认为是假设的物质的历史描述,这种物质应填充真空,其属性会根据所考虑的科学现象和当时的科学背景而有所不同。其次,根据这段历史并从当前的角度出发,对物理学和哲学的一般问题以及一些相关的传统问题进行了若干思考:空间问题、真空问题、物质问题,尤其是以太问题。
