"How the Aether Leads to Our Reality"

    The previous posting showed ("A Basic Look at the Aether") that the
classical Aether must exist because it endowed the volume of supposedly
"empty" space with observable properties. If space were not filled with
"something" it could not have any properties other than volume since "space"
is an abstract mathematical concept, it is not "real". If, however, we add
the concept of the Aether, the confusion associated with the Relativity
concepts vanishes.

    Starting with Newtonian physics, let us add the observationally proven
concept that light propagates through space (i.e.- the Aether) at a velocity
determined by the permeability and dielectric constant of space. Light, and
all electromagnetic radiation, is a transverse wave and as such cannot
propagate through a fluid. It was concluded Early on that the Aether must be
a solid. If we examine the propagation of light though the cosmos we observe
that there is no detectable chromatic dispersion. The lack of such
dispersion shows that the Aether is either a continuous solid (like jello)
or granular (like tapioca). To produce the observed lack of chromatic
dispersion, the maximum  possible size of granularity must be extremely
small even compared to the Planck Length (10^35 meters). In addition, to
produce the cosmologically observed gravitational and inertial effects, the
Aether must be extremely ridged. Since matter can move freely though the
Aether, matter cannot be a solid, but rather must be composed of standing
waves, as some current theories have suggested. (If, for example, a quark or
an electron consisted of a single cycle of electromagnetic radiation
refracted into a circular path, a charged particle would be produced which
could propagate through the solid Aether -

    A basic premise of the Relativity concepts is that the velocity of
light is the same IN all velocity and elevation reference frames. This idea
has falsely been interpreted to means that the velocity of light is the same
BETWEEN all reference frames. Once one recognizes the difference, the
mystery of Relativity vanishes and the subject is easily understood at the
intuitive level. This basic premise of Relativity is incorrectly stated, it
should read that matter controls its properties by measuring the LOCAL
velocity of light and adjusting them so as to make the LOCALLY observed
velocity of light as C. There is no requirement that the velocity of light
be equal to C in other reference frames.

    With this in mind, consider that the observer's reference frame is at
absolute rest (an arbitrary but legitimate choice). In a reference frame
which is moving with respect to the observer's frame, light has further to
travel to make a round trip. In the direction parallel to the velocity
vector, the travel distance is increased by 1/(1-V^2/C^2) and in the
transverse direction by (1/(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5. In order for the velocity of
light to be C, as observed in the moving reference frame, matter must
contract in the direction of the velocity vector in proportion to
(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5. and the duration of the ticks of a clock must become longer
in proportion to (1/(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5. (This conclusion was provided by
Fitzgerald and Larmor two years prior to the publication of Special
Relativity.) This conclusion makes all of the effects associated with
Special Relativity intuitively obvious if one is not too lazy to think them
true (only algebra is required).  It can be shown that when velocity is
increased, additional energy is added to any energy in the matter. It is
this storage of energy which we observe as kinetic energy. It is associated
with the so-called "fictitious" force of inertia and results from a REAL
push against the Aether.

    There is, in addition, a relativistic effect associated with the
proximity of energy. The proximity of energy causes the local permeability
of space to be reduced. This reduction in permeability reduces the ABSOLUTE
velocity of light and causes matter to contract. In this contraction, matter
sheds energy by releasing the energy of fall and, after the fall contains a
mass energy which, in absolute terms, has been reduced by that energy. The
effect is to cause matter to "push" against the Aether with a force which is
currently (and falsely) interpreted as the "fictitious" force of gravity.

    All of the relativistic effects (velocity and gravity) can be defined
by three sets of transformations (transformations for other terms are found
by applying Dimensional Analysis to accepted physical laws).

Force =   1
Length =   (1/(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5)/(1-$)
Time =  ((1-V^2/C^2)^0.5)*(1-$)

Where $ is the gravitational potential between elevations as measured in
terms of the upper elevation units of measurement. It was very satisfying to
find that these transformations lead to predictions of the cosmologically
observed universe.
