Aetheron Speeds Beyond Light in New Ether Theory
Vallejo Calif March 7 A navy astronomer Captain T J J Lee Mare Island introduces the Aetheron a particle about 1000 million times smaller than an electron and claiming an average speed of 204000 miles per second 57 faster than light Dr W D Coolidge of General Electric reports electrons reaching 175000 miles per second under 900000 volt fields and Lee argues higher speeds arise by reducing mass or increasing voltage The exchange centers on ether wave theory and radiation laws amid ongoing experiments in atomic physics.
