单词	luminiferous
释义	luminiferous /ˌluːmɪˈnɪf(ə)rəs / adjective chiefly archaic Producing or transmitting light: luminiferous ether... These equations described visible light as a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and said that the luminiferous ether was not necessary for electromagnetic waves to propagate through space. Thus, with a swiftness approaching the speed of light itself, the luminiferous ether entered the graveyard of discredited scientific ideas. And I have been able to do so because I have become increasingly convinced that culture, like the luminiferous ether of nineteenth-century physics, doesn't do much work.
