'''''Einstein and the Ether''''' is a 2000 book by the physicist and historian of science [[Ludwig Kostro\|Ludwik Kostro]], published by Apeiron (Montreal).

			==Overview==

			Although Einstein is popularly credited with abolishing the ether, Kostro documents how Einstein in fact reintroduced a '''new, relativistic ether''' beginning in 1916 and developed the idea in his later work. The book recounts how Einstein came to reject the nineteenth-century mechanical ether, then traces the three successive relativistic-ether concepts Einstein put forward, culminating in his treatment of spacetime itself as a physical, material entity — a "new ether." It is a scholarly study of a comparatively little-known strand of Einstein's thought.

			==About the author==

			Ludwik Kostro (born 1935) is a Polish physicist and philosopher who studied in Rome and became a professor in the Institute of Philosophy and Sociology at the University of Gdańsk, specializing in the history and philosophy of relativity.
