You are right - I don't _know_ that, we have not yet been able to compare
beard growth rates at different depths in gravity wells with enough
accuracy. But as I said this is the result predicted by GR.

I asked you before - how do you know it _probably_ not tied to it? How
does your aether pressure model allow you to make that conclusion?

Totally agree - I certainly fail at it. I assumed we have dropped this
esoteric time concept that has nothing to do with clocks already - why
bring this _useless_ concept back here? When discussing physics we should
keep using 'time' as a concept that can be measured (by clocks). I
questioned you below (you didn't answer of course) what is this symbol
't' appearing in all these physical equations standing for? It must be
measurable somehow (this is physics after all) - how to measure it?

You are right - no accurate measurements yet to be sure, but the point

This is the current definition of the second. Clocks should be calibrated

This doesn't make much sense. You quite clearly don't know how an atomic
clock works. Otherwise you wouldn't have written 'the longer it takes for
the caesium atom to transition between the two hyperfine levels' - this
is just pathetic.

General vague statements 'aether pressure affects the atomic clock
somehow' are just not enough - no matter how many time you repeat them.
Please explain your model, by which mechanism the aether pressure does
affect the operation of atomic clocks - and with such detail that we can
actually calculate the quantitative results. Otherwise your 'theory' is
useless.

And I'm still waiting you to explain how increasing hydrostatic pressure
would slow down the movement of the 'paddle hand' in water?

This must be your most stupid statement thus far (quite an achievement
actually). Earlier you stated that e.g., record player (a device
combining electromagnetic and mechanical aspects of the universe)
rotation speed would not follow GR prediction, and now you say that this
doesn't break GR - too stupid to be even hilarious.

It is founded on the what GR predicts. GR is the other most successful
theory in physics thus far. Please note that among other facts to support
the theory we have flown several types of atomic clocks on orbits
(different orbits, different nuclei, different energy transitions) and
all have behaved according to the GR prediction. What you are saying is
that this is just a _coincidence_ and an effect due to an _undefined_
interaction with aether pressure. I don't believe in that kind of
coincidences before you give me a very good reason to do so. No one will
take you seriously before you can show how to model your aether and how
to actually calculate the associated pressure effects.

Certainly did - check yourself:

Nope, the _EXTERNAL_ FIELD is not the particle itself. If you actually
read the paper you would (perhaps) understand at least two things:

1) This _external_ field he is speaking about is for example an _external_
electric field acting on an electron - discussed in section III. He first
develops his 'physical wave' theory without _external_ fields and then
_generalizes_ the resulting 'guidance model' to include also _external_
fields. This _external_ field is quite distinct concept to the de
Broglie's physical/material waves.

2)

=== CUT AND PASTE ENDS ===

Perhaps you should have refrained from splitting this discussion in to too
many subthreads - it apparently can get confusing.

I think it is obvious that de Broglie was quite aware of all the aether
models ever developed at the time of writing the paper under discussion.
But this is interesting, is your aether perhaps 'frictionless superfluid'
and are the particles 'frictionless supersolids'?

Physics by statements - why not try mathematics for a change. And please
look at the 'hidden variables' and 'non locality' regarding this sub-
quantum medium, and come back only when your aether model can cope with
these issues.

Because time is a concept. The most accurate clock for the astronaut
on the space ship is the Earth's orbit of the Sun, not the rate at
which an atomic clock ticks.

't' represents the rate at which an atomic clock ticks. Not time. 't'
represents the rate at which an atomic clock 'ticks' based upon the
aether pressure in which the clock exists.

That is not the current definition of a second. Yes, clocks should be
calibrated against the definition which includes 'at sea level'.

This definition refers to a caesium atom at rest at a
temperature of 0 K [AT SEA LEVEL].

When the astronaut on the space ship calculates how much time is
passes by using the distant stars and the Earth's orbit of the Sun the
astronaut concludes one year has passed. The atomic clock states 360
days have passed. The atomic clock is incorrect.

The clocks are traveling with respect to the aether.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places"

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.

'Frictionless supersolid a step closer'
http://www.physorg.com/news185201084.html

"Superfluidity and superconductivity cause particles to move without
friction. Koos Gubbels investigated under what conditions such
particles keep moving endlessly without losing energy, like a swimmer
who takes one mighty stroke and then keeps gliding forever along the
swimming pool."

In the analogy the swimmer is any body and the water is the aether.
Just as the swimmer displaces the water, whether the swimmer is at
rest with respect to the water, or not, a body displaces the aether,
whether the body is at rest with respect to the aether, or not.

'On the super-fluid property of the relativistic physical vacuum
medium and the inertial motion of particles'
http://arxiv.org/ftp/gr-qc/papers/0701/0701155.pdf

"Abstract: The similarity between the energy spectra of relativistic
particles and that of quasi-particles in super-conductivity BCS theory
makes us conjecture that the relativistic physical vacuum medium as
the ground state of the background field is a super fluid medium, and
the rest mass of a relativistic particle is like the energy gap of a
quasi-particle. This conjecture is strongly supported by the results
of our following investigation: a particle moving through the vacuum
medium at a speed less than the speed of light in vacuum, though
interacting with the vacuum medium, never feels friction force and
thus undergoes a frictionless and inertial motion."

A particle in the super fluid medium displaces the super fluid medium,
whether the particle is at rest with respect to the super fluid
medium, or not.

A particle in the aether displaces the aether, whether the particle is
at rest with respect to the aether, or not. The particle could be an
individual nucleus.

Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.

Aether is displaced by an individual nucleus. When discussing gravity
as the pressure associated with the aether displaced by a massive
object, what is being discussed is the aether being displaced by each
and every nucleus which is the matter which is the object.

A C-60 molecule displaces the aether.

A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The
C-60 molecule itself occupies a very small region of the wave. The
C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit in a double slit
experiment. The associated aether displacement wave enters and exits
the available slits. When the aether displacement wave exits the slits
it creates interference which alters the direction the C-60 molecule
travels. Detecting the C-60 molecule causes decoherence of the
associated aether displacement wave (i.e. turns it into chop) and
there is no interference.

The Casimir Effect is caused by gravity.

Each and every nucleus which is the matter which is the plate
displaces the aether.

The aether displaced by one plate extends past the other plate.

The pressure exerted by the aether displaced by the plates forces the
plates together.

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics
by the double solution theory
Louis de BROGLIE'
http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf

"These are essentially based on the way in which quantities
respectively characterizing the regular v wave and the internal u0
wave of the particle connect with the neighbourhood of the singular
region. u0 would have to increase very sharply as one penetrates the
singular region."

This seems to be very similar to Einstein's concept of:

'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".

There is a connectedness between the particle and the neighborhood.
There is a connectedness between the matter and the aether.

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.

'Instantaneous action at a distance' is nothing more than conservation
of momentum. When a downgraded photon pair are created, in order for
the original photons momentum to be conserved, the downgraded photon
pair must have opposite angular momentums.

Why don't you revisit conservation of momentum and figure out why it
doesn't apply to downgraded photon pairs in order for there to be
instantaneous action at a distance.

General relativity predicts something about inertial trajectories.
AFAIK the rate of biological processes is not related to how
fast a mass moves in response to an accelerating force.

The appropriate subject is a gun and metre stick.
