Researchers Robert John Strutt , fourth Baron Rayleigh Lord Rayleigh , who succeeded his father in 1919, carried on the family tradition both in science and in psychical research. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1905, served as Professor of Physics at Imperial College, London, from 1908 till 1919, and did valuable work on radio activity in rock formations. His Presidential Address to the Society for Psychical Research in 1937 dealt with 'The Problem of Physical Phenomena in Psychical Research'. Though 'physical' had by this time been substituted for 'spiritualistic' as applied to such happenings, the subject was still very much under a cloud and he almost apologised for discussing 'a somewhat unfashionable topic from which the Society had turned away', justifying himself only on the grounds that it was the one he knew most about. Like his father eighteen years earlier he noted scientific reluctance to look at the problem of globe lighting because its appearances were spontaneous and therefore not susceptible to experimental tests; and observed that the same difficulty arose with many forms of psi, and that this should not cause incredulity in either case, important as experimental work was wherever it could be carried out. After summing up various early investigations, experimental and otherwise, and the criticisms they met, he concluded that later failures to repeat what had happened would 'hardly be a disproof where the identical conditions cannot be re-established'; a rare triumph for commonsense in a field where the importance of having so to speak 'the time, the place and the loved one all together' is so seldom appreciated.

Home Lord Rayleigh (John William Strutt) Lord Rayleigh was a British physicist and mathematician who worked in many disciplines including electromagnetics, physical optics, and sound wave theory. The criteria he defined still act as the limits of resolution of a diffraction-limited optical instrument. Rayleigh wrote over 446 scientific papers, but is perhaps best known for his discovery of the inert gas argon, which earned him a Nobel Prize. Born John William Strutt, Rayleigh inherited his title when his father died in 1873. Although he was to become the third Baron of Rayleigh, as a young child he was slow to show eminence. He was the eldest of seven children and was almost three years old before he began speaking. Rayleigh's childhood and early education at Eton and Harrow were frequently disrupted by poor health. Hailing from a long line of landowners, Rayleigh was not raised in a scientific family and his predilection for the field was unexpected. At Cambridge University, however, Rayleigh exhibited strong promise in mathematics and an avocation for photography. He became the top member of his class under the tutelage of Edward Routh, a famous applied mathematician, and then a fellow at Trinity College in 1866. During his undergraduate years, Rayleigh was heavily influenced and inspired by George Stokes, who was a Lucasian professor of mathematics. After graduation, Rayleigh married the sister of the future Prime Minister, Lord Arthur Balfour, and together they had three sons, the eldest of which would eventually follow his father's scientific path.

Lord Rayleigh was born John William Strutt into a barony begun in 1821 on the occasion of King George IV's coronation. He was the eldest of seven children, born on the 12th November 1842. His father, John James Strutt, had been Second Baron for only six years, during which time he had married Clara Latouche Vicars, a lady over twenty five years his junior. His inquisitive scientific mind showed itself when he was four (despite the fact that he had seemed rather unintelligent when he was unable to speak at the age of almost three). His aunt Emily complained at his constant questioning, such as: "What becomes of the water spilt on the tablecloth after it has dried up?" He attended Eton College at ten years of age, only to catch smallpox, and then whooping cough. His parents decided a home education would be best, and so a private tutor educated him in mathematics, trigonometry and statics. His short stay at Harrow (West Acre, 18571 - 18572) was his last at school, as he caught a chest infection which left him in ill health for the rest of his life. He was taught from the ages of fourteen to eighteen by Rev. G.T. Warner at Torquay. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge in October 1861 having passed his entrance exams with great success. His mathematics course was vital to his future career in understanding physics. He graduated in 1865 with awards which displayed his promise, a promise which he amply fulfilled. He gained a fellowship at the college the following year, which he held for five years before he married. In 1873 his father died, so he became Third Baron Rayleigh and inherited Terling Place, Essex, as well. For the next three years he felt compelled to look after the estate so his scientific research was little. In 1876, he left the job to his younger brother.

Dimensional analysis [Categories: Procedural knowledge, Units of measure] Dimensional analysis is a conceptual tool often applied in (The science of matter and energy and their interactions) physics (The science of matter; the branch of the natural sciences dealing with the composition of substances and their properties and reactions) chemistry , and (The discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems) engineering to understand physical situations involving a mix of different kinds of physical quantities. It is routinely used by physical scientists and engineers to check the plausibility of derived equations. Only like dimensioned quantites may be added, subtracted, compared, or equated. When unlike dimensioned quatities appear opposite of the "+" or "-" or "=" sign, that physical equation is not plausible which might prompt one to correct errors before proceeding to use it. When like dimensioned quantities or unlike dimensioned quantites are multiplied or divided, their dimensions are likewise multiplied or divided. When dimensioned quantites are raised to a power or a power root, the same is done to the dimensions attached to those quantities. The dimensions of a physical quantity is associated with symbols, such as M, L, T which represent mass, length and time, each raised to rational powers. For instance, the dimension of the physical variable

1908 - The Ether (Aether) of Space and auxiliary files by Lord Rayleigh and Sir Oliver Lodge courtesy of Bruce L. Rosenberg Friday, February 21, 1908 THE RIGHT HON. LORD RAYLEIGH, O.M. P.C. M.A. D.C.L. LL.D. Sc.D. Pres.R.S., in the Chair SIR OLIVER LODGE, LL.D. D.Sc. F.R.S. M.R.I The Ether of Space THIRTY years ago Clerk Maxwell gave in this place a remarkable address on "Action at a Distance." It is reported in your Journal, Vol. VII., and to it I would direct attention. Most natural philosophers hold, and have held, that action at a distance across empty space is impossible-in other words, that matter cannot act where it is not, but only where it is. The question "where is it?" is a further question that may demand attention and require more than a superficial answer. For it can be argued on the hydrodynamic or vortex theory of matter, as well as on the electrical theory, that every atom of matter has a universal though nearly infinitesimal prevalence, and extends everywhere; since there is no definite sharp boundary or limiting periphery to the region disturbed by its existence. The lines of force of an isolated electric charge extend throughout illimitable space. And though a charge of opposite sign will curve and concentrate them, yet it is possible to deal with both charges, by the method of superposition, as if they each existed separately without the other. In that case, therefore, however far they reach, such nuclei clearly exert no "action at a distance" in the technical sense.
