This article is the main page for the Aether Physics Model,
a new foundation for physics.
Before editing this page, be sure you understand the Aether
Physics Model and how it differs from the Standard Model.
Introduction
The Aether Physics Model (APM) is a coherent,
discrete alternative to the mathematical Standard Model (SM) of
physics.
The Aether Physics Model is derived using the same empirical
data as used in the Standard Model, however, all charge is seen as
distributed charge, the APM predicates upon a Unified Force Theory,
and all equations are dimensionally expressed.
The APM includes
a new system of units based upon quantum measurements.
When not using quantum measurements, the units are expressed in
the MKS system, unless otherwise stated.
"Dimensions" in the APM specifically
mean the qualities of mass, length, frequency, and charge.
Since
the underlying principles of the APM are, in some cases, different
from those of the SM, many principles in the APM cannot be compared
to similar principles in the SM.
In the APM, the Aether is a
quantum unit of rotating magnetic field, which is defined as
<math>A_u = 16\pi^2 k_C</math> where
<math>k_C</math> is Coulomb's constant.
Quick
History of the Aether
The concept of Aether is not new.
In fact, the Aether was the prevailing theory in what became
modern physics.
Ancient Greek philosophers discussed Aether, and the theory
continued in acceptance through millennia.
In 1644, Rene Descartes put forth a philosophy of an
all-pervading Aether with mechanical properties.
“Descartes assumed that the Aether particles are continually in
motion.
As however there was no empty space for moving particles to
move into, he inferred that they move by taking the places vacated
by other Aether particles, which are themselves in motion.
Thus, the movement of a single particle of the Aether involved
the motion of an entire closed chain of particles; and the motions
of these closed chains constituted vortices, which performed
important functions in his picture of the cosmos.” In the Descartes
model, the Aether acted as both a solid and a fluid.
Whitaker
wrote, “All space, according to the young [John] Bernoulli, is
permeated by a fluid Aether, containing an immense number of
excessively small whirlpools.
The elasticity which the Aether appears to possess, and in
virtue of which it is able to transmit vibrations, is really due to
the presence of these whirlpools; for, owing to centrifugal force,
each whirlpool is continually striving to dilate, and so presses
against the neighboring whirlpools.”
Fresnel’s formula, as
developed by Eisenlohr, suggests that Aether is denser in matter
than in free space.
While Descartes saw the Aether as both a perfect solid and
perfect fluid, Nikola Tesla deduced that the Aether had the
qualities of a perfect gas.
The same hypotheses are born out in the Aether Physics
Model.
In addition, the quantum Aether units are able to fold and bind
to each other where subatomic particles are present.
The rotating magnetic field of the Aether, with its enormous
Gforce behind it, manifests as a perfect solid, fluid, and gas
simultaneously.
It is because the mass associated with the Aether is reciprocal
mass that Gforce and Aether have these abilities.
When Michelson
and Morley conducted an experiment to identify the particulate
medium as absolute space-time, resulting from Aether drifting
through Earth as Earth moved through space, they found no
overwhelming evidence for the magnitude of Aether drift they
expected.
However, they did measure an Aether drift.
Dayton Miller later conducted extensive tests that verified an
Aether drift relative to the Earth at about ten kilometers per
second.
The results indicated that if Aether exists, it must drag
relative to Earth , which Augustin Fresnel also posited.
Since the prevailing understanding of Aether did not easily
accommodate Aether dragging along with the planet, many touted this
as evidence against the existence of the Aether.
This premature conclusion against a dragging Aether also caused
many to proclaim the erroneous assumption that the Michelson-Morley
experiments showed absolutely no Aether drift.
Further speculating on the structure of the Aether, Albert
P.
Carmen wrote, “We can think of the ether as having an
indefinitely large number of infinitesimal "ether dipoles."
Albert Einstein invented his own principle of a
space-time/mass-energy tensor and attributed it to Ernst Mach.
He essentially stated that space-time acts upon mass and mass
acts upon space-time.
However, Einstein’s view changed on this matter several times
over several years, due to his inability to pinpoint a precise
physics basis for his General Relativity Theory (GRT).
As a result, aspects of Einstein’s earlier erroneous thoughts
present as valid physics concepts today (Mach’s principle,
cosmological constant), this despite that Einstein ended up
disowning these ideas due to their conflicting nature with
GRT.
Albert Einstein did not disprove, nor did he attempt to
disprove, the existence of the Aether.
On May 5, 1920 at the University of Leyden, Einstein gave a
lecture in which he defended the existence of Aether, albeit, to
his own liking.
Einstein’s theory depended heavily upon keeping any reference
to an absolute space-time from entering the physics, so he had to
stay on top of the Aether discussions of his time.
In a review of Miller’s work by Robert Shankland, Einstein
posthumously brought pressure to bear against Dayton Miller’s work
and Shankland attempted to write off Miller’s measured Aether drift
as temperature anomalies within the apparatus.
The APM substantially quantifies the previous concepts of
Aether and provides a solid foundation for Einstein’s GRT, although
it does not support his Special Relativity Theory.
