Aether-Magnetism
AuthorHector Luis Bonilla
Published1995

Aether-Magnetism (1995) is the first book by the independent researcher and self-described amateur philosopher Hector Luis Bonilla, a recycling engineer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It introduces the central theme of Bonilla's self-directed research program: that magnetism is not a fundamental property in its own right but instead originates in the Aether.

The book marks the starting point of a chain of ideas that Bonilla went on to develop in a series of conference presentations and a later book. Where Aether-Magnetism argues that the aether is the underlying cause of magnetism, his subsequent work extended the same reasoning one step further — proposing that magnetism is in turn the cause of gravity. Bonilla presented oral papers on these themes at meetings of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Natural Philosophy Alliance, and published his first printed paper in the Journal of New Energy (Salt Lake City) in 1996.
