"Maxwell showed that if electro-magnetic action were assumed to travel
as a disturbance in ether, as Faraday imagined, then it would be
propagated through ether in the form of transverse waves and its speed
would be equal to the speed of light. Maxwell's equations were taken
for a time to prove that the propagation of light through ether
involved a passage of electric and magnetic forces rather than material
vibrations (Jeans, Growth 287). The theory of ether was eventually
proven to be incorrect, but the attempt to explain it in terms of
electro-magnetic phenomena was a most important development: it showed
the first sign of moving away from the purely mechanical standpoint of
nineteenth- century science (Hull 240)."
But Maxwell required ether!
