As time went by, of course, this mechanical ether came to seem less and less necessary, or plausible, and the electromagnetic field emerged as a new, non-mechanical, concept; its vibrations were supposed not to require the existence of any underlying mechanical contraption. Gravity was also naturally regarded as a field theory. A [Book Review]
