The Sons of Ether

The Sons of Ether were a group of early 20th-century science fiction and science enthusiasts who believed in the possibility of advanced technology, contact with extraterrestrial life, and hidden knowledge within ancient texts. They combined scientific curiosity with mystical and esoteric ideas, often exploring themes of consciousness, space, and the universe’s mysteries. Many members were interested in the intersections of science, magic, and spirituality, and their gatherings and writings influenced later sci-fi and countercultural movements. Essentially, they were pioneering thinkers blending scientific inquiry with alternative spiritual beliefs in a quest for understanding beyond conventional science.
