Evolution of Sound (Classic Reprint): A Part of the Problem of Human Life Here and Hereafter; Containing a Review of Tyndall, Helmholtz, and Mayer: A ... Helmholtz, and Mayer (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Is sound a wave or a substance? This book challenges the dominant theory and argues for a more solid view that touches on life after death.
Alexander Wilford Hall’s Evolution of Sound, published in 1877, presents a bold critique of the wave-theory of sound and the broader evolution debate. The volume surveys key scientific authorities, including Tyndall, Helmholtz, and Mayer, and argues for the substantial, or entitative, nature of sound, life, and mind.
Interwoven with discussions of sound, heat, light, and electricity, the work aims to show that scientific evidence can support the idea of immortality and a future state of being. The author questions established theories and offers a provocative alternative view grounded in a corpuscular perspective on sound and its relation to matter and consciousness.
- A detailed critique of the wave-theory of sound and its assumptions
- Arguments that sound may be a substantial, not merely material, phenomenon
- Connections drawn between sound theory, physics, and the question of immortality
- Engagements with Darwinian ideas and other developments in 19th‑century science
Ideal for readers exploring the history of science, philosophy, and the debates surrounding evolution and immortality.

Evolution of Sound: A Part of the Problem of Human Life Here and Hereafter
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles long-held scientific theories and presents arguments against the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection and spontaneous generation as put forth by Darwin, Huxley, and others, in order to provide scientific evidence for a future conscious existence for humans after death. The author begins by presenting arguments against evolution, then moves on to spontaneous generation before positing a new theory of the origin of species. This is done while maintaining that the life and mental powers of every living creature constitute an intangible yet substantial organism as real as the anatomical structure. The author asserts that the greatest minds in science support this view, despite the common consensus of evolutionists, arguing the existence of a God is more probable and even scientifically sound than their theory. Many well-known scientific examples are dissected, broken down, and re-evaluated, and explanations of sound and light are re-imagined with supporting evidence. This book is one of the earliest and most extensive challenges to Darwin's Theory of Evolution and spontaneous generation, which spawned significant debate and discussion within the scientific community.
