Is that how you wish to be perceived? '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 maether. Maether has mass. Aether and matter have mass. Aether is uncompressed maether and matter is compressed maether. 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 maether 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." (quoted text from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_relativity_on_GPS). 'The Need to Understand Mass' By Roger Cashmore Department of Physics University of Oxford, UK. http://www.phy.uct.ac.za/courses/phy400w/particle/higgs2.htm "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 Department of Physics and Astronomy University College, London, UK. http://www.phy.uct.ac.za/courses/phy400w/particle/higgs3.htm "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'. In the Casimir Effect, the aether displaced by each of the plates extends past the other plate, forcing the plates together.

By and large, I accept and use the same experimentally derived mathematical constructs as mainstream physicists. The reason: you can't argue with mathematics derived from experiment, unless you can demonstrate flaws in the experimental design, or can bring forward new experimental results that the generally accepted equations ought to predict, but do not. Unfortunately, most of the people who post incessantly to these groups and rail against Einstein's math simply do not understand where the math comes from. They believe, because Einstein's non-mathematical, natural language commentaries referred to transparent nonsense such as "curved space," "time dilation," "length contraction," "universal speed limits," and various other forms of tiresome irrationalist hooey, that the mathematical formulae that he used must have been wrong. "Garbage in, garbage out," they say. Well, it isn't that easy. The fact that Einstein's philosophy was a stew of irrationalism doesn't mean that his math is wrong. The basic fallacy in the mind of the typical person who fulminates against "relativity" is simply this: he thinks Einstein's mathematics is based on his crackbrained natural-language ravings. That belief, however, is as boneheaded as thinking that Newton's theory of universal gravitation flowed out of his ridiculous, convoluted, casuistic religious silliness, and, as a consequence, is dependent on it. The reality is that philosophical or religious silliness is likely to come out of a physicist's mouth when he is asked what his favorite equations mean. However, even if you can see holes a mile wide in such statements, that does not mean the equations must be wrong. The reality is that the most basic equations of physics begin their lives as descriptions of the patterns of known experimental results. In the beginning, no one understands the underlying reality that caused those patterns to manifest themselves. That means the equations of physics can be refuted in one way only: by pointing out solid experimental evidence showing results which the equations ought to predict, but don't. In summary, I am not arguing with Einstein's favorite equations, or attempting to identify experiments that refute them. What I am doing is accepting the mathematics, tossing out Einstein's natural language, non-mathematical, irrationalist interpretive framework, and bringing forward an interpretive framework that makes sense. My goal, in short, is to understand the reality that underlies the math. Of course, understanding always begets new questions and new insights. As an example of the latter, I have already pointed out that the gravitationally entrained aether theory leads to the realization that equations defining the region of a celestial body's gravitational dominance also provide criteria that tell us which numbers to plug into the mislabeled "time dilation" equations. (Clock calibration equations would be a better name for them.) As far as I am aware, there is nothing in "the theory of relativity" that is capable of doing that. (If you think I am incorrect about this, feel free to bring me up to speed on the matter.) I would also note that I have made a testable prediction--to wit: that Earth orbits with radii significantly greater than 260,000 km will require the use of values for v that are relative to the Sun, while those significantly below 260,000 km will require the use of values for v taken relative to the Earth. (I suggested, in an earlier post, that an orbit at 320,000 km would be a good place to test this idea.) To sum up, you misunderstand my position if you expect me to trot forth a new mathematical system to substitute for the equations favored by Einstein. My disagreement with him is about his non-mathematical, natural language interpretive framework--i.e., with his so called "theory of relativity--and is NOT about his math. Incidentally, please note that math has no philosophy. It doesn't give a hoot in hell about the philosophy of the person using it. All it cares about is whether he plugs in the correct numbers and does the correct manipulations. If he does, he will get correct answers, and if not, not. Thus the only advantage one natural language interpretive framework has over another, where the associated math is concerned, is if one framework sheds more light on the physical reality underlying the equations and, as a result, makes it more likely that a user will, in fact, plug in the right numbers and do the correct manipulations. Beyond that, I would also point out that Einstein has no unique claim to the so called "math of relativity." The reason: most of the equations in his system were originally discovered by his predecessors. They found them the old-fashioned way, by struggling for days, or weeks, or months, to find the patterns underlying experimental results that, for one reason or another, tweaked their interest. While the original discoverers/creators of those equations, were they still alive, might have a legitimate claim to receive financial royalties from anyone who used them commercially, Einstein himself would have no better claim to most of them than you or I. In short, we can, and should, use the same equations that he used where appropriate, and we can do so with no apologies, no guilt, and with no obligation whatsoever to accept the precepts of Einstein's non-mathematical and howlingly irrational "theory of relativity." --Mitchell Jones}*** > -- > Dirk > > http://www.transcendence.me.uk/ - Transcendence UK > http://www.blogtalkradio.com/onetribe - Occult Talk Show ***************************************************************** If I seem to be ignoring you, consider the possibility that you are in my killfile. --MJ

Nonsense. As long as all the satellite clocks run at the same frequency, it will be fine regardless of what frequency the ground system run at. <shrug> The rest of howling nonsense is mercifully snipped to preserve sanity. Study how the GPS actually works first instead of rambling out howling like a mad dog.
