William George Hooper

Very little biographical information about this author is easy to confirm from reliable public sources, but his published work shows a strong interest in big scientific questions. He is credited as the author of Aether and Gravitation, issued in London by Chapman and Hall in 1903, and the book presents an ambitious attempt to explain gravitation through the idea of ether.

Library and public-domain book records also connect him with Ether and the Living Universe, showing a continued interest in cosmic and philosophical themes. For modern listeners and readers, his books are most interesting not as mainstream science, but as windows into an era when writers outside the scientific establishment still tried to build grand theories about how the universe worked.

Because trustworthy biographical details are scarce, it is safest to remember him primarily through the books themselves: bold, speculative, and full of curiosity about the structure of the universe.
