My researches on ether show conclusively
that gravitation is due to waves in the ether, and certain very
resistant bodies in the line of action may thus introduce a
slight screening effect.'
"This reasoning opens up new avenues of thought of what may be
accomplished in the future when we have found a perfect screen
against gravitation."
Another subject of importance, that takes no little time to
understand by the Martian student is the part played by the
planet's satellites in the generation of Electro-Magnetic
energy. The sun together with its circulating family of planets
is a huge Electric motor, so a planet and its satellites are
minor generators of Electric energy. Satellites have a higher
importance and necessity than the mere creation of moonshine.
All the planets have their satellites, although your astronomers
have not yet discovered any in the case of Mercury and Venus.
The latter planet has a satellite whose distance is so close to
its primary that its presence is lost in the intense reflection
of light caused by Venus' cloudy atmosphere, which is much denser
than that of your Earth. In the case of Mercury, owing to its
extremely close proximity to the sun, its satellite probably
never will be seen by observers on your Earth, as it is lost in
the intense brilliance cast by the Solar Orb on this planet.
