Of course, anything you model you can name whatever you want, but I would prefer it to be called Aether Displacement. Aether Displacement conveys it is the 'stuff of space' which is being displaced. Spacial Displacement and Spatial Displacement also convey it is space which is being displaced, but they are not as physically descriptive as Aether Displacement because they convey it is space itself which is displaced and not the 'stuff of space'. Another reason Aether Displacement is better is because matter is compressed aether. Matter is compressed dimension doesn't cut it. 'DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?' By A. EINSTEIN http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf "If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/c2." The mass of the body does diminish, but the matter which no longer exists as part of the body has not vanished. It still exists, as aether. As the matter transitions to aether it expands in three dimensions. The effect this transition has on the surrounding aether and matter is energy.

Of course, anything you model you can name whatever you want, but I would prefer it to be called Aether Displacement. Aether Displacement conveys it is the 'stuff of space' which is being displaced. Spacial Displacement and Spatial Displacement also convey it is space which is being displaced, but they are not as physically descriptive as Aether Displacement because they convey it is space itself which is displaced and not the 'stuff of space'. In Aether Displacement, matter is compressed aether. It is the 'stuff of space' which is compressed as matter. Matter displaces the 'stuff of space'. Compressed dimension displacing dimension doesn't work. Matter is compressed dimension conveys more of a pull. Not to say that won't be considered to be more physically correct, but it is a different concept than Aether Displacement. 'DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?' By A.

From: glird on 7 Dec 2009 16:50 In what follows, I will place numbers like this {#} to indicate things I will comment on. On Dec 6, 3:38 pm, Huang wrote: > On Dec 6, 2:14 pm, mpc755 wrote: .... ... ... ... Huang: Choosing to believe a moving C-60 molecule, 60 interconnected atoms, enters, travels through, and exits multiple slits simultaneously {1} without requiring energy, releasing energy, or having a change in momentum, is a more correct physical description of the observed behaviors of C-60 molecules in a double slit experiment vs. the moving C-60 molecule creates a displacement wave in the aether is incorrect. {2} C60 is neither wave nor particle. {3} It is indeterminate whether it is one or the other. {4} If you ASK "which way" then nature will tell you, simply because you modified the very nature of the experiment by asking such a question in the first place. It behaves like a particle {3} because that is the FORMAT of the output required by the question "which way?" If you do NOT ask which way, then it behaves like a wave. The experiments and the evidence has been repeated thousands of times in labs all over the world. C60 is not a wave, and is not a particle. It is indeterminately either one or the other. {5} And if you ask a certain way, you will get a corresponding output. The only way to model this sensibly is by using a composition of existent magnitudes and nonexistent magnitudes. THAT makes sense where nothing else can. {6}> 1. How can one molecule be in two different places at the same instant? 2. If (as Einstein did) we substitute "empty space" for "aether", would you still deny that a moving particle creates a wave system? 3. Define "particle"!! 4. Until you define "particle" that is a meaningless sentence. 5. The word "indeterminately" is superfluous and may be misleading. 6. A magnitude is a number. An "existing magnitude" is obtained by measuring a quantity of something. Although "nonexistent magnitudes" don't exist :) we could interpret this as referring to an as yet unmeasured quantity. However, until we know what has the given quantity -- measured or not -- THAT is mpc: Nonsense. The particle is on a deterministic path. The C-60 molecule creates a displacement wave in the aether. It is no different than a boat in the water passing through one of multiple slits. {1} The waves and boat move at almost the same speed but light does not etc. The bow wave the boat creates in the water enters and exits the slits ahead of the boat. The waves that exit the slits the boat does not travel through will pass out ahead of the path the boat is traveling and create interference with all of the waves that are exiting all of the slits ahead of the boat. This interference will alter the direction the boat travels. {2} If you place buoys at the exits to all of the slits and the buoys turn the bow wave into chop and interference does not occur and the direction the boat travels is not altered, do you say the buoys represent ASKING 'which way' so the boat behaved like a particle? If you do not place any buoys at the exits to the slits and the bow wave exiting all of the slits creates interference and alters the direction the boat travels, do you say since there being no buoys represents not ASKING 'which way' so the boat behaves like a wave? Of course not, you realize the boat is creating a bow wave in the water. There is a boat and a wave. The double slit experiment performed with C-60 molecules is {similar to} a boat in the water. The C-60 molecule creates a displacement wave in the aether. There is a C-60 molecule and a wave > 1. A wave caused by a particle moving in a vacuum travels enormously faster than the particle, but a bow wave travels at almost the same speed as a boat. 2. Didn't they wait awhile before sending another molecule through a slit? If so, then the interference patterns would have disappeared before "the boats" exited either slip. Huang: ... Consider two magnitudes a and b, a exists and has magnitude 10, b does not exist and has magnitude 1. {1} Now compose these magnitudes. You will notice a couple of things right away: [1] It is indeterminate {"indeterminate" is entirely different from "not determined", which means "not specified"} whether the combined magnitude is continuous or discrete. [2] It is indeterminate whether you multiplied or added these things a and b. [3] This situation is exactly analogous to a probabilistic problem from orthodox mathematics, just worded differently. {SO differently worded as to be totally unrelated.} [4] Provides a mechanism for modeling things like wave-particle duality. {2} [5] Provides a mechanism for modeling dark matter, gravity, and all kinds of things. {2} [6] Provides a way to say that determinacy is equivalent to indeterminacy. {3} [7] Explains the fundamental essence of mathematics as a kind of absolute truth, Nonexistence is absolute falsehood and is singular, and in the middle you have conjecture. Truth, falsehood, and conjecture in the middle. It all fits very nicely. [8] I could go on, and on, and on.... Look at it this way. I ask you to get a random quantity of rope from a bag, you cannot see inside the nag. You don't know if the pieces in the bag are discrete chunks, or a continuous spool. Now let it be indeterminate {unknown}whether the rope is continuous or discrete. If I ASK how may pieces, then your answer MUST be discrete output and the rope behaved discretely. {4} If I DO NOT ask how many pieces, then the output is forced to be continuous by default and you MUST produce a continuous random chunk of rope and the rope must behave as if continuous. {5} Wave particle duality is no different. Quit beating yourself up - the problem is solved. {6}> 1. Clarification: b has an unmeasured magnitude of 1. 2. Please show us the mechanism. 3. Saying that "determinacy is equivalent to indeterminacy" -- which you just did -- doesn't make it true. 4. Why "MUST" my reply behave as you say it must? 5. In what way must a "chunk of rope" that is 1 foot long behave the same as a continuous rope that is 100 feet long? 6. Until you define your terms, nothing is solved. In my terms, a particle is a material body. and a wave is a density- pressure gradient moving through a material whether or not that material is a particle. Although a particle does have a density-gradient pattern, it does not have a pressure gradient as part of its construction. Therefore, a wave CAN traverse a particle and vice versa even though they are entirely different things. mpc: A double slit experiment is performed with a boat. All you know from the experiment is where the boat is launched from and when there are buoys placed at the exits to the slits the boat behaves the same as it does in a single slit experiment and when there aren't buoys at the exits to the slits and you perform the experiment over and over again, the boat creates an interference pattern on the shore. {1} You are adamant that all there is in the experiment is a boat, the slits, and the shore. You are unwilling or unable to understand water exists and the moving boat is creating a bow wave in the water. You conclude when detectors are placed at the exits to the slits you ASK 'which way' and the boat is a particle. You conclude when detectors are not placed at the exits to the slits you do not ASK 'which way' and the boat is a wave. Choosing to believe water does not exist doesn't make your conclusions any less incorrect. Wave particle duality: A moving body creates an aether wave. 1. Yes, you know there IS an interference pattern on the shore, but HOW do you know that the boat, rather than some other mechanism, "creates" it? Huang: You are talking about aether waves, you do not need the concept of aether. You already have dimension {1} and the concept of dimension works just fine for GR or anything else. {1b} I understand why people use the word aether, but it is not necessary. Dimension is a medium of wave propagation. I agree completely with what you are saying. But you don't need this aether stuff, all you need is dimension. Dimension is a medium of wave propagation. {2} This view is highly amenable to formal modeling but you would need to compose existent magnitudes with nonexistent magnitudes. If you do that, then YES dimension becomes a medium of wave propagation and physics would actually be unified. {3} In many ways I DO agree with what you are saying, but you must realize that the only way to model it is by composing existent magnitudes with nonexistent magnitudes. Most people don't want to buy into that idea, regardless of how well it works. There is a cultural reluctance to these ideas which is completely based on human bias. > 1. A "dimension" is an aspect of the physical world that we choose to measure. As such, it is an invention of the human mind and doesn't otherwise exist. 1b. Although it does work fine for GR, it doesn't even define what the chosen aspects physically ARE, other than as names per category of the things we chose to measure. 2. No dimension undergoes and propagates a wave. 3. If you summarize (in equations) the quantities obtained by measuring who-knows-what with the numerical quantities nobody ever measured, then YES Physics would be satisfied even though no one knew what the equations represent. mpc: My interpretation of modeling is mathematics. Mathematics is the judge and jury as to the validity of a theory. But, mathematics is not nature. I have not heard of magnitudes before but my guess as to what you are implying is the 'magnitude' that something is a wave vs. the 'magnitude' something is a particle. But I disagree completely with a C-60 molecule being a wave at any magnitude. {1} Now, if you want to re-interpret magnitude to include aether, then you might have something. 'Dimension' is a mathematical construct, not nature. The aether is necessary. The aether is physical. {2} The aether is required in order to have a more correct physical description of nature. If a double slit experiment is performed with a boat and the boat creates an interference pattern on the shore, is the boat a wave or does water exist? A double slit experiment performed with C-60 molecules is evidence of the existence of aether. > 1. A molecule is a self-perpetuating pattern of material. As part of the pattern of each component atom, there is a series of layered shells each of which has a symmetrically repetitive density gradient in which wave-systems (electrons) do travel. Inside each atom's nucleus here are a series of similar layers with a much steeper grad d; and wave systems (quarks, etc) circulate therein. Therefore, if you look closely enough (at sub-atomic magnitudes) you will see waves, even though a molecule per se is NOT a wave. 2. Conceptually, there are several different kinds of aether. To Maxwell, the aether consisted of tiny incompressible particles attached to each other by tiny elastic springs. To Lorentz, the aether was a continuum of incompressible matter at rest everywhere in Newton's absolute space. To me, "the aether" (ether) is just a word denoting the continuous aspect of a space-filling COMPRESSIBLE matter out of which particles (and waves) are fashioned. As such, there is no aether other than matter itself, which is the only conducting medium for light. [({Since light goes everywhere, matter is everywhere; so there is no such thing as an "empty space".})] Huang: A magnitude is a very simple idea. 5 liters, 20 centimeters, 6 miles, 2,000 watts ... etc. These are all magnitudes. {A "magnitude" is therefore a numerical quantity, regardless of which dimension it measures.} What I was referring to above was magnitudes of length. Quantities of dimension measured as length. If you have 10 meters which exists, and one meter which does not exist, you can compose them to obtain an existentially indeterminate length of magnitude 11, which has expected length 10. {1} Any probabilistic problem can be reworded in terms of existential indeterminacy and conservation of existential potential. {2} Yes....all of these procedures are trivial. They have to be. Triviality is inherent to QM. {3}> 1. A "meter" is a unit of measure whose size was appointed by a body of people considered to be sufficiently expert that the rest of the world accepted their decision. It is used to measure length. As such, it doesn't exist other than in some Bureau of Standards. Otoh, rods that are one meter long do exist and can be used to measure the lengths of other things. A rod that is 10 meters long can exist; but if a rod that is 1 meter long does NOT exist, there is no way that you could add them together or otherwise "compose them to obtain an existentially indeterminate length{wadevrDATmeenz} of magnitude 11, which has expected length 10." 2. Regardless of the meanings of a "probabilistic problem" and of "existential indeterminacy" and "conservation of existential potential"; each can be reworded in terms of anything you want. 3.

Yes, but the point of creation of the displacement wave is where the matter which is the C-60 molecule and the aether physically interact. When the C-60 molecule is originally 'emitted' toward the slits, the displacement wave it creates in the aether propagates outward away from the C-60 molecule at 'c', but as the C-60 molecule moves towards the slits it is continually creating the displacement wave, just like the bow wave a boat makes is always greatest at the bow of the boat, the displacement wave the C-60 molecule creates is always greatest where the aether and the matter which is the C-60 molecule are in contact. > 2.

You send the boat once again through the slits and you note where it winds up on the shore. You do this over and over again for a single boat. After performing the experiment many, many times for a single boat, the marks the boat made on the shore will be an interference pattern. Same with the C-60 molecule. You fire a single C-60 molecule towards the slits and note where it makes a mark on the screen. Send another C-60 molecule towards the slits and not where it makes a mark on the screen. After sending many, many C-60 molecules through the slits, one at a time, the overall pattern the C-60 molecules make in the screen will be that of an interference pattern. > > mpc: A double slit experiment is performed with a boat.

You have to push the boat off of the shore in order to perform the experiment again. You place a flag where the boat left a mark on the shore. After the boat comes ashore many, many times, all of the flags placed where the boat came ashore will form an interference pattern. > > mpc: My interpretation of modeling is mathematics.

I just think we have enough to deal with without having to discuss 'empty' space filling stuff as 'uncompressed matter'. When you make yourself a drink that you want to be cold, do you put 'frozen water' into your glass, or do you put ice into your glass? Yes, they are both labels for the same stuff, but we call it ice for convenience. We call 'uncompressed matter' aether for convenience.

Dimension is part of the continuity of everything. Dimension has direction. Up down,right left,front back If you think in terms of dimension you only have 6 directions in space.
