What physically occurs in nature to cause curved 'space-time', E=mc^2,
conservation of mass, conservation of energy, gravity, double slit
experiments, Higg's background field, what physically occurs in nature
to cause atomic clocks to 'tick' at different rates, Einstein's train
gedanken, and on and on and on the list of things which are
misunderstood in physics today are easily understood in the theory of
Aether Displacement.

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, ...
disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
The material is mæther.
Mæther has mass.
Aether and matter have mass.
Aether is uncompressed mæther and matter is compressed mæther.
Aether is displaced by matter.
The aether is not at rest when displaced and 'displaces back'.
The 'displacing back' is the pressure exerted by the aether.
Gravity is pressure exerted by displaced aether towards matter.

A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The
C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit. The aether wave enters
and exits multiple slits. The aether wave creates interference upon
exiting the slits which alters the direction the C-60 molecule
travels. Detecting the C-60 molecule causes decoherence of the aether
wave and there is no interference.

'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.

Mass does not convert to energy. Matter converts to aether. As the
mæther transitions from matter to aether it increases in volume. The
physical effect the increase in volume has on the neighboring matter
and aether is energy.

The physical effect of mæther decompressing is energy.

Mass is conserved.

The rate at which an atomic clock 'ticks' is based upon the aether
pressure in which it exists. In terms of motion, the speed of a GPS
satellite with respect to the aether causes it to displace more aether
and for that aether to exert more pressure on the clock in the GPS
satellite than the aether pressure associated with a clock at rest
with respect to the Earth. This causes the GPS satellite clock to
"result in a delay of about 7 ìs/day". The aether pressure associated
with the aether displaced by the Earth exerts less pressure on the GPS
satellite than a similar clock at rest on the Earth" causing the GPS
clocks to appear faster by about 45 ìs/day". The aether pressure
associated with the speed at which the GPS satellite moves with
respect to the aether and the aether pressure associated with the
aether displaced by the Earth causes "clocks on the GPS satellites
[to] tick approximately 38 ìs/day faster than clocks on the ground."

'The Need to Understand Mass'

"There is, however, one very clever and very elegant solution to this
problem, a solution first proposed by Peter Higgs. He proposed that
the whole of space is permeated by a field, similar in some ways to
the electromagnetic field. As particles move through space they travel
through this field, and if they interact with it they acquire what
appears to be mass. This is similar to the action of viscous forces
felt by particles moving through any thick liquid. the larger the
interaction of the particles with the field, the more mass they appear
to have. Thus the existence of this field is essential in Higg's
hypothesis for the production of the mass of particles."

The "action of viscous forces felt by particles moving through any
thick liquid" is the particles interaction with the aether. The force
is the pressure exerted by the displaced aether towards the particle.
The "thick liquid" is the aether behaving as a frictionless superfluid
'one something'.

"the larger the interaction of the particles with the field, the more
mass they appear to have." The faster the particle moves with respect
to the aether, the greater the pressure exerted by the displaced
aether towards the particle.

'Politics, Solid State and the Higgs'
By David Miller

"1. The Higgs Mechanism
In three dimensions, and with the complications of relativity, this is
the Higgs mechanism. In order to give particles mass, a background
field is invented which becomes locally distorted whenever a particle
moves through it. The distortion - the clustering of the field around
the particle - generates the particle's mass. The idea comes directly
from the physics of solids. Instead of a field spread throughout all
space a solid contains a lattice of positively charged crystal atoms.
When an electron moves through the lattice the atoms are attracted to
it, causing the electron's effective mass to be as much as 40 times
bigger than the mass of a free electron."

The distortion of the background field is the displacement of the
aether by the moving particle. The 'clustering' of the field around
the particle is the 'displacing back'. The 'clustering' of the field
is the pressure exerted by the displaced aether towards the particle.

"The idea comes directly from the physics of solids." The aether
behaves as a frictionless superfluid 'one something'.

I would like to know which reviews he was referring to, what made him
think they were neither active scientists or familiar with relativity.

Many popular writers -- it is true-- are not active scientists and may not
be as deeply familiar with relativity, but the reviews I read suggested
that the reviewers were no less familiar than many if not most of the
authors of posts on these NGs.

And, I'm still waiting for anyone who-- besides myself--has been reading
any of the posts of these threads to say who he is, what his credentials
are, what his job and/or school is, and what kind of recognition he has
gotten between now and back when he first got on the net.

I have said, many times now, that I am a retired scientist (in membrane
biophysics) with a PhD in biology, BS in physics, some 35 papers in
peer-reviewed journals, $1 mil in competitive research grants from NIH,
ONR, gave invited papers and invited seminars (all expenses paid) in several
countries outside the USA, dozens of book chapters in books, on editorial
boards of several books, sole editor for one book, retired (1996) from a
"research professor" faculty appointment at Univ Maryland at Baltimore,
School of Medicine, Departments of Biophysics and Pathology.

Oh, yes, I've done paid consulting work, too.

What are all of you guys _doing_?

You can check the profile label of each post for details of some of
the posters. But the main problem here is that you are clearly
mistaken if you think that here there are lots of people with physics
backgrounds. The real number is quite low (PD, Tom Roberts, Paul
Andersen, Steve Carlip and a very few others). The rest is divided in
amateurs with some education in physics, a lot of engineers and a
large number of trolls, wackos and people that should be at a mental
institution instead of writing here.
So if you think that here you will find some answers, better look
somewhere else.

I would appreciate all those with BS, MS, and PhD degrees, plus
publications, in physics/engineering/science please step forward and give
their credentials and experience.

I've been on NGs for over 20 years. I'm pretty aware of the less credible
and less creditable types.

I was mainly looking to see how many of the "regulars" would respond to
the listing of about two dozen books dealing with "shortcomings" in
Einstein rather than "nothing but praise".

As I said, when I was young and in college taking my undergraduate
advanced physics courses, I "bought into" Einstein like everyone else but
was aware of anti-Einstein sentiments but dismissed them as "wacko" stuff.

Now, decades later, I find it interesting that there is still a lot of
dissent and doubt. I was curious how the "regulars" would respond to the
challenge.

Perhaps someday I will try to locate the better of the dissenters and
teach myself more about the "contrarian" line of thinking as well as the
"conventional mainstream" thinking.

Thank you for your overview estimate of the population "quality". I feel
similarly.

Yeah. Relativity is a Zionist plot. Those satellites that we think use
Relativity to provide accurate GPS locations are actually remote controlling
our brains to make us *think* that GPS satellites work.
