Apart, however, from the atomicity of the Aether, it is exceedingly difficult to understand how such a property can belong to it.

Aether and Gravitation |William George Hooper
The harmonizing of the two theories, therefore, seems to rest upon the atomicity or non-atomicity of the Aether.

It is even more strange that it may now be said of energy that there are signs of atomicity.

Again, Dr. Larmor, in the same work, states that “the atomicity of electricity is coming within the scope of direct experiment.”
