Aether, atoms, waves, and particles.

These are not only the building blocks of science’s oldest debate, but also a mirror of our philosophical quest to understand whether nature is an aspect of being or becoming. For over 8,000 years, humans have grappled with this riddle, asking whether the universe is composed of particles or waves.

In this episode, we explore The Forgotten Battle That Shaped Science: Aether vs. Atoms, and how these ancient concepts influenced the development of modern science. Join us as we trace the dialogue between philosophy and physics, uncovering the hidden stories behind humanity’s quest to understand the very fabric of reality.

(This is part one of a two-part chapter on the history of light, from Plato to Maxwell)

This is a chapter in a wider metaphysical journey—one that invites you to look again at the world around you, and to see the unseen. Join the conversation:
