• لیہا According to the adopted theory, first formulated by Lord Kelvin, all matter is composed of a primary substance of inconceivable tenuity, vaguely designated by the word “Ether.” The atom of an elementary body is differentiated from the rest of this substance, which fills all space, merely by movement, as a small whirl of water in a calm, lake. All matter, then, is merely whirling ether. By being set in movement, ether becomes matter perceptible to our senses, the movement arrested, the primary substance reverts to its normal state and becomes imperceptible. This theory of the constitution of matter is not merely a beautiful conception, which in its essence is contained in the old philosoply of the Vedas, but a physical truth ; then if ether-whirl or atom be shattered by impact or slowed down or arrested by cold any material, whatever it be, would vanish into seeming nothingness and conversely, if the ether be set in movement by some force, matter would again form. Thus, by the help of a refrigerating machine &r other means for arresting ether movement, and an electrical or other force of great intensity for forming ether whirls, it appears possible for man to annihilate or to create at his will all we are able to perceive by our tactile sense.”—Nicola Tesla, তাৎপৰ্য্য এই যে, লর্ড কেলৰিনপ্রমুখ বৈজ্ঞানিক পণ্ডিতগণের ऋठ जभूलग्न छड़ दछ हेथांब्र नाभक °लांtर्षद्र (फांकांtअंब्र)
