Ether space-time and cosmology: modern ether concepts, relativity and geometry
Ether spacetime and cosmology modern ether concepts relativity and geometry Author:Michael C. Duffy, Joseph Levy Research during the last 20 years has confirmed that space possesses physical properties even where it is devoid of ordinary matter. In addition to the well known properties of permittivity, permeability and the ability to transmit electromagnetic waves, other features have been associated with space more recently. These include the Casimir Effe... more »ct and a significant amount of energy. This medium, devoid of any trace of ordinary matter, is usually referred to as Physical Vacuum, Plenum or Cosmic Substratum along with other labels. These various equivalent terms obviously refer to the Ether. The aim of this first volume of papers is to examine the different paths by which the modern ether concept developed. The evidence for its existence is reviewed and its properties are explored. It is anticipated that the emerging modern concept of ether will play a fundamental role in the development of 21st Century physical science, leading in particular to possible resolutions of most of the paradoxes that impede the development of modern physics.« less
