About This Item

Aether

The four elements of antiquity -- earth, water, air and fire -- dominated natural philosophy for two thousand years. The premise that everything was formed from these four elements was developed by the Greek philosopher Empepedocles of Sicily and continued to be believed until the rise of modern science. Even today earth, water, air and fire are not bad symbols for the four states of matter -- solid, liquid, gas and plasma. Science has discovered new ideas, but in the field of Mysticism these elements are still important to illustrate the oneness of all.

Æther is not considered to be an element. Instead, it is the space in which everything happens. It is the field that is simultaneously the source of all matter and the space where it exists. Æther is only the distances that separate matter. It is the medium that transports light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation. Mystically, æther is thought, will and spirit. It is "the force." It is virtuality, like the grin of the Cheshire cat.

Ancient Elements TB went aloft at 8:15am aboard the Silver Comet Rocket Ship. Lift-off was nominal. Apogee estimated at 700 feet with good separation of Ancient Elements TB from the vehicle. Recovery of both space ships were perfect.

  • LIFT-OFF!! Perfect day for a launch.
  • Excellent Recovery TB recovery via streamer. Perfect landing.

Rocket selected to send it aloft. Launch was scrubbed this past weekend due to large quantity of muggles in the field.

Arrived at the Kauai Rocket Launch Facility in Ele'ele, Kauai. Plans are in the works to send it aloft in a rocket to let it momentarily soar above West Kauai before letting it continue on its journey. Stay tuned for photos.

  • Space Port Arrival Awaiting orders for lift off.
