À propos de cet audio

 Good in Theory is a podcast about brilliant scientific theories—that just happened not to be true. Join Rita and Sofie as they dive headfirst into disproven theories across biology, chemistry, physics, and medicine. They'll unpack what made the ideas so compelling, where they spectacularly failed, and how they still managed to leave a fascinating mark on science and culture. Have a listen if you want to learn about wacky, wrong, and weirdly impactful science history alongside two enthusiastic guides!Good in Theory Team Science

  • Aether: speaking of nothing

    Aether: speaking of nothing
    Jan 22 2026

    Water waves are movements in water, so light waves are movements in… aether. At least that was the leading theory in the 18th century. Sounds simple enough but nailing down what this aether is leads to curious properties. In truth light waves are quite different from water waves in many respects including that their speed is constant no matter how fast you yourself are going. The history of aether theory is tied to the emergence of both quantum theory and relativity. It records how scientists struggled to let go of their intuition and see the reality of space and time in a new light. Join us on our mission to understand the true nature of light and listen to this week’s episode of Good in Theory.
