Ether and Matter is a 1945 book by Carl Frederick Krafft, published by the Dietz Printing Company (Richmond, Virginia).
Overview
Krafft develops a mechanical, "hydromechanical" theory of the ether and builds a vortex atom model of matter upon it, as an alternative to both Einsteinian relativity and the nuclear model of the atom. The book ranges over classic versus Einsteinian relativity, the cosmological red shift, gravitation, the constitution of the Sun and stars, electromagnetism, atomic structure, the vortex atom and its structures, the heavier elements, and even living matter — all interpreted in terms of vortices in a fluid ether.
About the author
