In the framework of mechanical reality, Sir Edmund Taylor Whittaker (1873–1956) is one of the most significant figures in the history of science. Unlike the Relativist-Priesthood tying its religious fanaticism to Einstein, the Rothschilds, money and power; Whittaker was a subject-matter-expert of both abstract mathematics and the physical mechanics of the aether. He wasn’t just a thin armed metaphysician-comedian with chalk and a blackboard.
Why is Whittaker important? Whittaker is the greatest historian of physics after Pierre Duhem (future post on this unknown and quite remarkable physicist and historian). Like Duhem, Whittaker is crucial because he recorded the heuristic or narrative movement in ‘Science’ from reality to maths; and he proved that Maxwell’s equations weren’t just maths, they were descriptions of Fluid Stress in a real, pressurised medium.
Another important reason to enjoy Whittaker is that he called out the clown-show called Einstein (1951). He references the fraud of Relativity to be the maths (and maths only) of Lorentz and Poincaré. Lorentz’s maths, that Einstein ‘borrowed’ without attribution, are based on the aether. Few know this.
