But what do we know about the fifth element, also called ether, quintessence, the divine particle? Aristotle says that the classical elements are subject to change and move linearly. The fifth element, however, is dispersed in the heavenly regions and has none of the qualities of the familiar elements. It is neither hot nor cold, neither moist nor dry.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plato calls it \u0415ther and speaks of it in the Timaeus as being the thinnest, purest and most transparent layer. In Greek mythology it is described as the air breathed by the gods. It is also believed to be where souls return after passing from the material world into the afterlife. Dimitri Mendeleev defended the idea of the ether and believed that it held the secret of existence. Of it he says that it is the lightest of all, in millions of times. He named it Newtonium and set it as the chemical element of the zero group in the original of his famous table, which was changed after his death.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ether is thought to form from supernovas, or collisions of neutron stars, because a huge amount of energy is required to generate it. Tesla relied on the ether in all its developments.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me the fifth element is the energy in the void. The mysterious and the unknown. The nothing and the everything. The name of my brand (In Bulgarian the word Ether is translated to &#8220;Efir&#8221;), and I believe that every name brings energy&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kristina G.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know well the four elements &#8211; air, water, fire and earth.
