One comes to an understanding of the real relationship between the so-called ether and ponderable matter. One comes to realize that if one simply uses the, shall we say, confused concept of mass in such a way that one says that one has to insert the effect of this mass or matter outwards with a positive sign, then one has to insert that which corresponds to the same in the ether with a negative sign. What is a compressive force in the one is a suction force in the other. And if we regard the ponderability of ponderable matter as a pushing force, then we must regard the imponderability of the ether as a suction force in relation to this pushing force. Then we can make do with the phenomena; then we do not need to abolish the ether and set a zero for it, but we can, as we do in another area, pass from plus to minus. I have given this example to show you that anthroposophically oriented spiritual science does not shrink from the fields that are strictly speaking exact science.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"13.

Man kommt zu einer Erkenntnis der wirklichen Beziehungen des sogenannten Äthers zur ponderablen Materie. Man kommt dazu einzusehen, daß, wenn man den, sagen wir verworrenen Begriff Masse einfach so einsetzt, daß man sagt, man hat die Wirkung dieser Masse oder Materie nach außen mit positiven Vorzeichen einzusetzen, so hat man dasjenige, was im Äther demselben entspricht, mit negativen Vorzeichen einzusetzen. Was in dem einen Druckkraft ist, ist in dem anderen Saugkraft. Und wenn man die Ponderabilität der ponderablen Materie als Druckkraft ansieht, muß man das Imponderable des Äthers dieser Druckkraft gegenüber als eine Saugkraft darstellen. Dann kommt man zurecht mit den Erscheinungen, dann hat man nicht nötig, den Äther abzuschaffen und eine Null dafür zu setzen, sondern man kann, wie man es in einem andern Gebiet auch macht, von plus zu minus übergehen. Ich habe dieses Beispiel angeführt, damit Sie sehen, daß die anthroposophisch orientierte Geisteswissenschaft durchaus nicht zurückschreckt vor den Gebieten, die im strengsten Sinne des Wortes exakt wissenschaftliche sind.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":191,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/73a/1921-01-14/p031"}],"english":["GA 73a/1921-01-14/p031"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":191,"en_words":212,"ratio":1.11,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.06,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8353,"original_word_count":7905,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"Scientific Disciplines and Anthroposophy","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA073a/English/SOL2024/19210114p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
