Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein

"according to the general theory of relativity space is endowed with
physical qualities; in this sense, therefore, there exists an ether.
According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation
of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space
and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time
intervals in the physical sense."

Yes, it needs to be modeled mathematically and if you could do that,
that would be huge!

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. 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.

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

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.

Look at it this way. I ask you to get a random quantity of rope from

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

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. Substitute "physics" for "QM" and we agree.

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.

You send one boat through the slits and you note where it winds up on
the shore. 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.

Because you see the boat on the shore. 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.

Yes, aether and matter are different forms of the same stuff. 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

Dimension has direction. Up down,right left,front back
If you think in terms of dimension you only have 6 directions in

Aether displaced by a moving body forms a wave.
