Derivation of the Maxwell's Equations Based on a Continuum Mechanical   Model of Vacuum and a Singularity Model of Electric Charges
  We speculate that the universe may be filled with a visco-elastic continuum which may be called aether. Thus, the Maxwell's equations in vacuum are derived by methods of continuum mechanics based on a continuum mechanical model of vacuum and a singularity model of electric charges.
