Aether Question on Magnetic Force on Electric Charge.

Darwin123 - 15 Jun 2008 18:03 GMT
In terms of the aether theory, please explain the following.
1) The formula,
F=qV x B,
where F is the force vector on an electrical charge, q is the amount
of electrical charge, V is the velocity of the electrical charge, x is
the cross product and B is the magnetic field.
   Note F, V and B are 3D vectors, q is a scalar, and x is a binary
vector operation.

I'll break question 1 down into less mathematical components.

2) When an electrical charged particle moves through a magnetic field,
why is the force vector perpendicular to the velocity vector?
3) When an electrical charged particle moves through a magnetic field,
why is the magnitude of the force proportional to the velocity?
4) Why is the magnitude of the force vector proportional to the
electrical charge at all?

      I would appreciate any explanation based on the mechanical
properties of aether. I don't want an explanation directly based on
Maxwell's equations, except if you can connect the mechanical
properties of the aether to Maxwell's equations. I am not particularly
interested in space-time, cosmology, Big Bang, steady state or
inflationary cosmology. I am interested only in this obvious and
intuitive aether model of electromagnetic phenomena.

Why does gravity pull things down?  Why do atomic nucleii stay
together?

You're up against a fundamental fact about physics -- and science
generally.  One way to put it is, science can't answer all why-
questions.  Those that it cannot answer it calls "laws of nature."

Maxwell's equations are a law of nature.  There are other ways to
express them, but ultimately that's what it boils down to. We can use
the laws of nature to explain other things, but just as a child may
ask "why" over and over after any explanation, we have to stop
somewhere.

This is a deep point that you may not want to accept.  But sooner or
later you will have to.

    My question wasn't about explaining Maxwell's equations. My
question had the qualifier, "In terms of the aether theory."  My
challenge was specifically aimed at supporters of the classical aether
theory, not just a call for any theory. I specifically asked if how
the aether could explain the magnetic field.
   Einstein claimed that the aether theory wasn't a complete model of
electromagnetic forces because it was "redundant."
A lot of people on this forum are claiming that the old time aether
classical aether isn't dead. There are some loudmouths who claim that
Einstein somehow "conned" people into rejecting the classical aether.
My point is that the classical aether was dead even before Einstein
buried it.
  I am sorry that I left out the word "classical." I have been
brought to understand there are quantum mechanical and relativistic
models out there that include a "substance" that distantly resembles
to the classical aether. These would not be the classical aether, yet
some can argue that such a model may be useful. I refer to the idea
that the aether is a substance acting according to Principia that
carries light. In the sense that Newton meant "substance," the aether
would not very different from the air that carries sound. This type of
model will probably never again be used to model light.

Hmmm, actually, the "classical ether" was supposed to be a kind of
solid, an absolute reference frame. That ether is dead.

A modern ether or quantum vacuum or spacetime or whatever you want to
call it would still be what is excited in EM phenomenon.

Which one?? The one that already was rejected by Newton is really "out". The
one of Lorentz was modified by Einstein but the result (how it really works
for GRT and QM) is not so clear.

When do you think he buried it? As far I know it was Lorentz who really
buried the classical dragged ether concept.

Sure. It was useful for people such as Lorentz, Langevin, Ives and Dirac. I
also find such models quite helpful.
And what do you think of the new MIT model of which I gave you the link?

Where in the Principia did Newton suggest such a model? Note that he already
rejected dragged ether models.

Why did Einstein say
the speed of light from A to B is c-v,
the speed of light from B to A is c+v,
the "time" each way is the same?

1/2[tau(A)+tau(A')]= tau(B)
where
A = (0,0,0,t)
A' =(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v) +x'/(c+v))
B = (x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
x' = x-vt

    He didn't say the speed of light was "c+v" or "c-v". He never
said that. Maybe you saw those terms in one of his equations and
jumped to the conclusion that they were the speeds of light. I know
these terms occur in the analysis of the Sagnac experiment, but they
are not speeds of light.
    The terms "c+v" and "c-v" sometimes occur in factors for
frequency. Consider a mirror in a cavity. If the cavity moves, the
round trip distance from a mirror back to the same mirror can change.
So the time between peaks in the electric field at the mirror can
change. Hence the frequency changes.

    In the equations you wrote, c+v and c-v are not the speeds of
light. They reflect differences in path distance.

  Newton did not suggest an aether model for light. Never ever. I did
not mean that. I meant that the aether that supposedly carries light
may not be describable in terms of Principia.
  Newton analyzed sound in "Principia." He lays down what may be the
first description of the nature of sound. Newton derives a formula for
the speed of sound in air that is accurate up to a point. There is a
slight error due to his assumption that the air is compressed
isothermally. The real speed of sound for audible frequencies is
better derived using an adiabatic approximation. In any case, the
polarization of sound waves as described in Principia is longitudinal.
That has stood as a pretty good prediction.
    The behavior of light, especially concerning polarization, is not
analogous to the behavior of sound as described in Principia.
    Although no one pointed out this particular problem, I have come
to the conclusion that the main problem between Maxwell's equation and
Newton concerns Newton's Third Law. Newtons Third Law presupposes that
for every action on a body, there is an immediate reaction on another
body. For Maxwell's equations, this isn't true. If there is an action
on an electrically charged body, there is a delayed reaction on
another electrically charged body. The only way around this is what
Lorentz and Einstein did. The field has to in some sense become a
"body" itself. Defining air as a "body" that carries sound worked in a
simple way for Newton. Defining the aether as a "body" that carries
light doesn't work simply for Maxwell.
     Someone recently sent me a series of articles in which Maxwell
tries to work the behavior of light and static fields into the
framework of an aether. I haven't completed the series of articles,
but I am pleasantly  surprised at the effort. However, I am far enough
along to say that the model does not look simple at all. It involves a
rather counterintuitive "insulator" to protect fluid eddies from
dissipation due to friction.

  As far as Einstein calling the aether redundant, look at this:
http://ethertheory.chat.ru/epart2.htm
In 1905 A. Einstein writes that introduction of "light-bearing ether"
will appear thus redundant (Zur Elektrodynamik der bevegter Körper.
Ann. Phys., 1905, 17, pp.891-921)

   As I look back on Lorentz's book, I realize that he used the word
reciprocity quite a bit. I may have confused the word "redundant" by
"reciprocity." I apologize. However, look at
"The Theory of Electrons" by H. A. Lorentz. He talks about his
failures and praises Einstein for discovering "a remarkable
reciprocity." I may be misinterpreting it. However, I think in the
context of the book that "reciprocity" and "redundancy" are two words
for the same thing.

Not really. The mathematical reciprocity makes of course reference to an
ether redundant and useless for calculations. However, a conceptual void
exists in absence of the idea of a physical ether/space/vacuum/spacetime -
one is left with only a mathematical model that describes phenomena without
any conceptual idea of what physically happens.

The aether is not a substance.
When energy combines with aether, it can make
light and matter (substance).
Matter doesn't move 'through' the aether,
pushing it aside as it goes.
*Energy* moves through the aether, activating
it to produce the properties of light or
matter *at that point* and *at that time*.
The aether at that point does not 'move aside' as the
matter comes through. It *becomes* the matter.

There is no 'pushing aside' of aether. Aether is non-material
in the sense of being *pre-material* ( and pre-light).

>magnetic field, why is the force vector perpendicular to

  A "force" is a net pressure.  It is always exerted by matter. In
its continuous non-particulate form matter exerts an outwardly
directed pressure (which I call 'sorce" and physics calls "dark
energy") from any given point within it. This material resists
compression increasingly strongly as its density increases. This
property of matter, which I call "ontropy" is unknown to any physicist
who hasn't read my books.
 Now I will answer your question 2:
An electric charge is a sorce gradient and a magnetic field
is a density gradient. As matter condenses, it presses back
increasingly stronger, so the sorce level increases.  As
sorce-pressure increases, the density does too.  A
sorce-density gradient (grad s-d) thus arises in the
direction the s-d pulse is moving. The sorce-pressure is
perpendicular to the density zone, and vice versa. Hence
the change in s is perp that in d on an imaginary plane
even though that plane moves forward at c in a vacuum
(i.e. a place full of matter but with almost no particles in it).
 Accordingly (as I read somewhere in a physics text or
journal or whatever), if you plot the path of an s or d
trajectory on a 3d map, the lines would NOT be
perpendicular to each other, they move aslant, upwardly and then
downwardly; at all times each point per line remaining in position,
thus perp, relative to a corresponding point on the other line.

 I don't know, never having considered that specific
question.

 Same answer as that given to similar question 2 :-).

>  I would appreciate any explanation based on the

  Sorce and ontropy and density ARE mechanical
properties of the continuous form of matter called "dark
matter" and/or "aether".

 The aether (or ether) is just the continuity aspect of matter;
whether liquid, solid, gaseous, a mixture of any of those three, or
the resistive non-particulate form of the very same matter out of
which particles are made. When formed into atoms and molecules, large
numbers of them are perfectly visible when grouped together as solids
and liquids. Gases such as air are invisible but we know they are
there. The continuous form of non-particulate matter is also invisible
because it doesn't have a light-reflecting surface. Nevertheless,
recent experimental data proves it is there, called "dark matter"
because it is invisible...

Hmm? It is not actually.
It is both, one force is from stuff moving out of the way,
(perp vectors)
one force will come from the electron itself.
(velocity vect)

too simple.
Kinetic energy works that way.
and actually a charged particle will do such without any
magnetic field there at all (although that is kinda tough to find).
You must think old fashion if you want mechanical realities.

      Scientists who have measured the force of a magnet on an
electric current have consistently found this is the case. If you know
of documented measurements that contradict this frequently confirmed
case, please provide references.

      However, the force on the electron will be perpendicular to
both the velocity and the magnetic field. This has been verified again
and again. In fact, picture tubes use magnetic fields to control
electron paths according to the principles and to the equation that I
just cited. In terms of TV picture tubes and computer monitors, the
experiment has confirmed this formula in excess of a hundred million
times. The monitor that you are looking at uses this principle.

     No, I am not saying that. I did not write that, and I did not

    This is how a magnetic field effects and electrical charge. I
gave the mathematical formula, which I notice you didn't question. I
also provided a physical description of the facts. You directly and
immediately contradicted my statement.
   Being mechanical minded, could you tell me how a magnetic field
does affect an electric charge?

       Without the magnetic field, the electric charge moves in a
straight line. With the magnetic field, it moves in circles.
      Kinetic energy doesn't work that way. Without a field, there is
no force on the particle REGARDLESS of the kinetic energy. The kinetic
energy of a particle does not effect the force on the particle.

> You must think old fashion if you want mechanical realities.

They must be ignoring kinetic energy velocities that produce force
in the same vector when the electron finally hits something.
Are they allowing it to hit something to find the dang force to begin
with?
Or just measuring it while it flies by?
force usually needs impact or contact.
Where is the contact the electron is making that they are measuring
to find the velocity vector force at all?

But that is how it is coming out.
You have no "force to measure" since you are not making it hit anything.

Electric charged what?
you can't just have an electric charge.
you need the "object that is carrying the charge.
and...
It depends how the field is placed (orientation)
and how fast the charged object is moving through that field
and of course the spin and orientation ofthe electron also

Oh man you are so wrong on that one it is not even funny
Lets call a golfball a particle.
(it is more like a cloud than a solid but lets treat it like a solid for
now)
We will drop the golfball from 20 ft into some sand.
Now spin the golfball at 50 rpms and drop it.
no difference in kinetic energy?
WRONG
difference in force noted.
Now lets just keep the galfball hanging from a string,
and push it to the side.
how much force is needed to move it?
Now spin the golfball as fast as you can.
how much force is needed to move it.

So.. The kinetic energy of a particle DOES effect final outcome force.
and also effect potential force and even the force on the particle itself
through a field.
mass in motion is not always linear.
Thank you Mr Newton for explaining it correctly and
my teacher for also doing the same.
Too bad teachers today do not do such.
the above is classical mechanics at the most basics.
just above lever and fulcrum stuff.

The form of the force law relating magnetic fields
to charges moving in them can be amply demonstrated
with a cathode ray tube (CRT) and a pair of Helmholtz
coils.

The coils are placed to as to produce a uniform magnetic
field across a section of the CRT neck where the electron
beam passes.  The magnetic field deflects the charged
electrons and produces a corresponding deflection of the
spot at which the beam strikes the CRT face.  Varying the
magnetic field strength varies the spot position in
proportion.  Varying the position of the coils can
show the form of the path that the electrons follow in
detail.

The electron speed can be determined via either transit
timings (with suitable additional electronics incorporated)
or by the kinetic energy depositied at CRT face upon their
impact.  The electron speed can be set by manipulating the
accelerating potential of the electron gun apparatus
(before it reaches the magnetic field area), or by setting
an accelerating potential on the CRT face.

The same experiment can be performed with beams of charged
particles other than electrons, such as protons and whole
atoms (ions).

In this fashion it is found that electric charges moving
through a magnetic field feel a force that is proportional
to the charge, the velocity, and the magnetic field strength,
and that the impressed force is always at right angles to
the velocity vector of the charge (charged particle).

The mathematical model is thus given by:

F = qVxB  

with F the force vector
    V the velocity vector
    B the magnetic (vector) field
    q the electric charge in Coulombs
    x is the vector cross product operator

No sh.t it is at right angles only ..
that is the "pushing force"
like a wind pushing a boat at a right angles
put the dang magnet in front and you will "detect the velocity vector
in the front until it pushes it self away.
sheesh
man
even air is that mechanical.
C,mon!
The magnet pushes it in the field that is in motion
doing the pushing
the field is moving it.
so of course it will move the way the field is designed
to move it.

Yes,
and actually that all shows why you don't getthe force
showing in front of the motion,
because you are not pushing it from the front
of the motion ever...
:)

things don't just move without something pushign them
the only force wou will find in such is where it

You haven't quite got it.  Given enough room in a constant
magnetic field the particles will loop into a circular path.
In a good vacuum (so that they don't run into stray molecules)
they will continue to circulate and not slow down or speed up.

Actually Harold, Maxwell actually first published this relationship a
few years earlier than did Lorentz. I suspect that it predates even
Maxwell, so perhaps someone else will research it's earliest origins
and who actually deserves the credit for this rather useful
observation.

"Lorentz introduced this force in 1892.[5] However, the discovery of
the Lorentz force was before Lorentz's time. In particular, it can be
seen at equation (77) in Maxwell's 1861 paper On Physical Lines of
Force. Later, Maxwell listed it as equation "D" of his 1864 paper, A
Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, as one of the eight
original Maxwell's equations.

Not my words, neither are they from a physics text, but from this
source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

I like to give credit where credit is due, beside the the symbology of
a vector math equation to usenet ASCII symbology tends to be a total
waste of time. It's easier simply to point readers to the first
equation listed under "History" in the cited link, which physicists
will recognize as being essentially the same equation taught in 1st
year physics as the Lorentz Force. (In actuality, Lorentz is best
known for his classic method of establishing the value of an Ohm.)
[See, Harnwell, "Principles of Electricity and Electromagnetism",
McGraw Hill. 1949.]

Where Maxwell obtained this little gem is to me interesting. Perhaps
he was inspired by the observations of Faraday, who history tells us
was a far better experimentalist than a gifted mathematician.  Maxwell
was a gifted mathematician, as well as a physicist of no trivial note.
So to me, that explanation would make sense.  Still, history becomes a
bit cloudy in the days around 1890. So, I have to ask the question,
whose earlier work predated that of Faraday, Maxwell, and Lorentz,
since all three appear to share a common nexus???

Silly I know, but it's a question that fascinates me.  Sort of a
physics version of the "Cold Case Files."

Have fun thinking about this one.

Sorry about that! Anyway, my point was that Lorentz used it much (so that it

Did you look up Maxwell's model in his treaty? If I remember correctly, he
came to realize that there seem to be just too many models possible.
A more modern attempt is MIT's string-net theory

No. Would you mean that the Bohr model of the atom is "redundant"? It's the
wrong word, and even Einstein came to disagree with such an idea.

Perhaps you mean that a detailed ether model was redundant for deriving the
Lorentz transformations? Indeed, even Lorentz adopted Einstein's approach.

In terms of the Aether Physics Model, the equation is written:

forc = chrg * velc * mfxd

The force is equal to the electromagnetic charge of the electron times
its velocity times the magnetic flux density of the medium the
electron is moving through.  The electromagnetic charge relates to the
electrostatic charge by the relation:

e^2 = e.emax^2 * 8pi * a

Where e is the elementary charge, e.emax is the electromagnetic charge
of the electron, and a is alpha, the electron fine structure
constant.

e.emax^2 is another way to express chrg.

chrg = e.emax^2

So if you have an electromagnetic charge of one coulomb squared moving
a velocity of .8c through a medium of one tesla, then it would be
equal to:

1 coul^2 = 7.145 x 10^36 chrg
.8 c = .8 velc
1 tesla/e.emax = 3.324 x 10^-9 mfxd (single dimension charge units
must be converted to distributed dimension charge units)

1.9 x 10^28 forc = 7.145 x 10^36 chrg * .8 velc * 3.324 x 10^-9 mfxd

1.9 x 10^28 forc = 6.411 x 10^26 newton

The values I chose were large whole MKS units so you could get a quick
intuitive grasp of the equation.

Because the Aether has geometry, the electromagnetic charge has
inherent geometry, so you would map your fields based upon discrete
geometry.  The geometry can be mapped with calculus and is completely
induced from an analysis of known constants.  The electromagnetic
charge geometry shows the current force vector is perpendicular to the
velocity vector, but also in opposition to the magnetic flux density.

> 3) When an electrical charged particle moves through a magnetic field,
> why is the magnitude of the force proportional to the velocity?

Electrons are toroidal shaped structures, which move along their
magnetic axis.  The faster the electrons move, the more resistance is
encountered, and so the electrons spread out sideways, thus increasing
the current.  The spreading sideways puts a corresponding pressure on
the magnetic flux density in the local environment.  In other words,
the increase in velocity increases the apparent resistance, which
increases the current.  The increase in current causes an increase in
the density of the magnetic field.

> 4) Why is the magnitude of the force vector proportional to the
> electrical charge at all?

Because the electron has geometry, and this geometry depends upon two
distinctly different manifestations of charges.  Modern electrical
theory only recognizes the elementary charge (electrostatic charge)
and treats the electromagnetic charge as a relativistic effect.
Further, modern electrical theory has the dimensions of charge wrong
in most, but not all, units.  This causes trouble with certain
relationships of units.  The Aether Physics Model fully quantifies the
two different types of charges and corrects the error of single
dimension, charge-based units.

   I do not know what you mean by the magnetic flux density. I
believe you mean the magnetic field. The force in the current is not
in opposition to the magnetic field. The force on the current is
perpendicular to the magnetic field.
  Please explain to me why the force on the charge is perpendicular
to both the magnetic field and the velocity of the electric charge.

David Thomson - 24 Jun 2008 04:56 GMT

Magnetic flux density is magnetic flux per area.

> I believe you mean the magnetic field.

No, the magnetic field is a completely different unit.

If you apply magnetic flux density to a volume, then you are looking
at a magnetic field.

> The force in the current is not
> in opposition to the magnetic field.

I agree.  The force in the current is in opposition to the magnetic
flux density.  The denser the magnetic flux becomes, the greater the
force of the current must be to pass through it.

>    Please explain to me why the force on the charge is perpendicular
> to both the magnetic field and the velocity of the electric charge.

That is not my position.  My position is that the force on the charged
electron is in opposition to the magnetic flux density and
perpendicular to the current velocity vector.  This is because
magnetic flux has tubular geometry.  The magnetic flux tubes tend to
run parallel to the current.  The electron is essentially a toroid
moving along its polar axis.  The large radius of the toroid is moving
parallel to the magnetic flux tubes.  The faster this toroid moves,
the more force it applies perpendicular to its velocity and thus
increases the magnetic flux density.  Think of a bunch of parallel
straws in a bundle.  Then put a ring around a portion of the bundle
and move it along the path of the straws.  The ring will attempt to
displace the straws as it passes them by pushing perpendicular to its
velocity.  Now imagine that the ring expands its large diameter and
contracts its small diameter as it speeds up.  The faster the electron
moves, the more perpendicular force it produces.

> However, you brought up to other questions.

The Aether is quantified as a fabric of quantum rotating magnetic
fields.  The magnetic field IS the Aether.  The magnetic field is thus
evidence of the Aether's existence.

> 2)   What does it mean to be in "opposition to the magnetic flux density?"

I hope I have explained it clear enough in the preceding paragraphs.
It is helpful to understand the structures and behaviors of both the
electron and the magnetic flux density and watch how the two interact
with each other.  Matter is interacting with environment.  It is
similar to a fish moving through water.  As the fish speeds up, the
water density near the surface of the fish would increase if the water
were elastic and the fish were inelastic enough.  In the case of the
fish, the water actually flows faster around the fish's surface.  In
the case of the electron, the flux tubes have to squeeze tighter to
allow the electron to pass by.

    However, that is my question. All the experiments indicate that
there is something called a magnetic field and the force is
perpendicular to it. If you can give me a relationship between the
"magnetic flux density" and the "magnetic field," I could relate your
answer to my question. Right now, I asked one question and you
answered a completely different question.

>My position is that the force on the charged

1)    What is the relationship between magnetic flux density and
magnetic field?
2) Is the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the magnetic field,
and if so in what specific direction perpendicular?
     Note there is more than one direction perpendicular to a given
vector or a given pseudovector. So specifying perpendicular by itself
still contains a bit of ambiguity.

complicated. However, I am listening. This has to be good.

     If the magnetic flux density is uniform, the direction of the
force will change around the toroid. The sum of the forces on the
current will cancel out so there is no force. There is no net force on
the current. Yet, in fact we see a net force on the current.
     One way around this is to define the magnetic field in terms of
the inhomogeneity of the magnetic flux tubes. No doubt you will show
this when you present the relationship between magnetic flux density
and magnetic field.

   On all sides, if the magnetic flux density is constant. The total
force on the electron is zero.

    The magnetic field is not uniform through space. Light propagates
through regions where the magnetic field is zero. Therefore, the
magnetic field is not the aether.

    Maybe this will help. The fish has fins. In most fish, the
pectoral fins are used for steering, the tail fins for propulsion, and
the other fins are used for stabilization. When the fish wants to
turn, it needs a force perpendicular to his velocity. So it adjusts
the angle of of its pectoral fins to push against the water, so as to
create a force perpendicular to its velocity. Its brain has a strategy
for adjusting the angle to give its path the curvature it needs.
   If there were no pectoral fins on the fish, the fish couldn't
steer. Yes, the pressure on the fish would increase as it swims
faster. However, the force would be equal on all sides. So the fish
would continue in a straight line.
   The picture of your ring doesn't have the equivalent of pectoral
fins. I can not see how the total force on the ring can be
perpendicular to its velocity or to the magnetic field. Your electron
needs pectoral fins, and a strategy on how to use them. Making the
electron a toroid alone won't help. The electron in your model needs
more structure.
   Maybe you should read more about fish, as well as physics.

It is not the aether, but it is certainly a physical entity emerging
from the aether/Quantum vacuum/Spacetime or whatever you want to call
it.

Actually, that perpendicular thing reminds me of Bernouilli's principle.

All the physicists have a problem in understanding the difference
between a magnetic field, magnetic flux density, and magnetic field
strength.  Magnetic flux density and magnetic field strength are
routinely spoken of as though they were the magnetic field, when they
are only particular views of the magnetic field.  It is like saying a
car is velocity because it moves.  A car is a car, velocity is
velocity.  A car is not velocity.  A magnetic field is not magnetic
flux density.

The unit of magnetic field in single dimensional charge MKS units is
equal to kg m^3 / sec coul.  The unit of magnetic flux density in
single dimensional charge MKS units is kg / sec coul.  In distribute
dimensional charge MKS units the magnetic field is equal to kg m^3 /
sec coul^2, and the magnetic flux density in the same system is kg /
sec coul^2.

Magnetic flux density makes no reference to the volume of the whole
magnetic field.  Magnetic flux density is merely a measure of how
tightly the magnetic flux tubes are packed.

It is as I just stated, and stated earlier.  The magnetic flux density
is just one of many properties of the magnetic field.

> 2) Is the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the magnetic field,
> and if so in what specific direction perpendicular?

The magnetic flux density would be a scalar quantity of the magnetic
field.  The only vector is the increase/decrease of magnetic flux
density.  When comparing the magnetic field to the magnetic flux
density, we have to look at the magnetic field as an object and the
magnetic flux density as a property of this object.  The magnetic
field is, of course, a non-material object, but an object nonetheless.

Magnetic fields have many properties, and it is the properties which
possess the vector quantity, not the magnetic field at large.  That is
why physics focuses on the properties of the magnetic field, rather
than the unit of magnetic field, itself.

You are looking at the situation from the perspective that there is
only one type of charge in the electron.  There are, in fact, two
quantifiable types of charges in the electron.  These two types of
charges are geometrically related to each other, yet are two
completely different manifestations of charges.  Also, the Aether is
the source of electrostatic charge, while the subatomic particle's
existence creates the electromagnetic charge.  The Aether has an
electrostatic dipole, whereas the subatomic particle has a magnetic
dipole.  The Aether is existing in a five-dimensional frame of
reference, whereas the subatomic particle is existing in a four-
dimensional frame of reference.  The Aether interaction of four-
dimensional matter with a five-dimensional Aether also causes various
deformities, which are constantly changing.  The wobble measured as
the particle g-factor, is one important effect caused by this
interaction of different coordinate systems.  Talking about the
homogeneity of magnetic flux density requires a simultaneous
understanding of all of these factors.  It is not as simple as the
straw analogy I gave.  The straw analogy was given at your request,
because you wanted a way to discretely visualize the vectors.

The magnetic field IS uniform throughout space in the sense that there
is always a magnetic field present.  It may not be the magnetic field
associated with a magnet, the Earth, the Sun, the galaxy, or a
galactic globular cluster, but it exists nonetheless.  This is well
understood by the presence of the permeability and permittivity
constants throughout all space.  It is important to realize the
difference between a quantum rotating magnetic field and a macro
magnetic structure.  It is like the difference between a subatomic
particle and a human body.  The human body is composed of subatomic
particles, but subatomic particles are not composed of human bodies.
Similarly, the quantum rotating magnetic field (the infinitesimally
small whirlpools of Bernoulli, Fresnel, Descartes, and others) is not
the same thing as a magnetic field surrounding a magnet.

At any given location in the Universe, there are multiple overlapping
magnetic fields from various sources.  These larger structures of
magnetic fields constantly tug at the quantum Aether units.  It is
like a bunch of boats on a lake vying to affect the water molecules to
produce waves that correspond to each boat's wake.  Sure, there are
moments when the boats are gone and the lake is mirror smooth, but the
water molecules are still there.  The same goes for the Aether units.
There may be places in the Universe where there are no macro magnetic
fields, but the quantum rotating magnetic fields are still there and
ready to produce macro magnetic fields.

That's because the electrons aren't fish.  I didn't mean for you to
think they were.  The only similarity between the fish swimming
through water was to highlight how matter moves through Aether.  Rene
Descartes presented this concept, and it is fully quantifiable in the
Aether Physics Model.  And by the way, snakes can swim without fins by
alternating the whole body sideways.  Electrons follow the path of
magnetic flux tubes in free space.  Instead of putting fins on the
electrons, the pathway of the current is changed and the electron
merely follows it.  This, again, is evidence that the Aether is real.
If magnetic fields are merely mathematical abstractions and there is
no such thing as Aether, then electrons would always follow a
ballistic straight course through empty space.

No, the Aether interacts with the electron, and the electron interacts
with the Aether.  Both can cause changes in the other.  As I mentioned
earlier, it is important to understand the geometry of the Aether and
subatomic particles in order to understand how they interact.  This
white paper provides a basic introduction to the quantified theory:

There is no need for me to make the electron into anything.  It is
what it is.  The electron's structure is entirely induced from the
constants of the physics it is involved with.  It would also help if
you took the time to read my model before judging it.  Then you could
actually point to a specific instance within the model that needs to
be addressed.

   Where can I read more details in your "theory?" I read your posts
very carefully which is how I come with these questions. If you think
that I don't read your posts, then you are wrong.
   The most important property of the magnetic field for our
discussion is the direction. If the magnetic field is the gradient of
the magnetic flux density, then I have no problem since a gradient has
a direction. Given that definition which you provided, the magnetic
field has direction. However, you also said that the magnetic flux
density forms tubes. The gradient of a "tube" distribution of density
is a series of vectors, perpendicular to the tube but pointing in all
radial directions from the center of the tube. Thus, the magnetic
field you described has no fixed direction.
    The magnetic field that I asked about is the well known magnetic
field from science and engineering. This magnetic field does have a
definite direction. It sounds like you named something else as "the
magnetic field." However, that is secondary. Can you explain in terms
of the magnetic field most of us play with why,
F=q V x B    ?

Where can I read about your model? Do you have a blog or something? I
read your posts. They already have self contradictions. Is your blog
better formulated than your posts? Perhaps your blog doesn't
contradict itself. I would like to read it.
>  Then you could

Alright. However, my original question was why in terms of the aether:
F=qV x B
where "q" is the electric charge, "V" is the velocity, "B" is the
magnetic field, and "x" is the cross product. That was the only thing
I asked for when I began this thread. I was not interested in any
other feature of the model than this equation, as well as all it
physically implied. You have not addressed that question, or even told
me where you think this equation fails.
   My specific instance within the model is this. Why does,
F=q V x B         ?
   Do you derive this equation in terms of the aether? If not, I have
no interest in reading your theory.
    Very few scientists are interested in how you, and you alone,
define magnetic field.

I agree that the magnetic flux density gradient is the magnetic field
for a given magnetic structure.

No, I didn't say that.  I said that magnetic flux is tubular.
Magnetic flux density is not tubular, it is merely a quantity for the
density of the tubes.

I use my blog only for occasional comments when a scientific
observation validates a point I had raised.  I gave the link for my
white paper in the last post.

I have told you a discrete interpretation of the equation, which was
your original question.  I have not told you where this equation fails
because it doesn't fail.  The equation is valid.  I did tell you how I
use the same general equation within the Aether Physics Model, which
has distributed charge dimensions and two types of charges.

I answered that question directly in an earlier post.

If you truly had read all my posts in this thread carefully, as you
claimed, you would have seen that I did explain this equation in terms
of Aether.  But I only gave a general answer to your question.  If you
want an in-depth answer, you would need to study the theory in-depth
since the answer would be given from within the framework of the
theory.

>      Very few scientists are interested in how you, and you alone,

It is true that very few scientists are interested in the correct
understanding of magnetic fields, but I am not alone in correctly
understanding them.  I learned about the correct understanding of
magnetic fields from an online university physics course.  The
professor explained the reasoning using dimensional analysis.  I don't
have the link to the site, as it was several years ago that I read it,
but you can do the dimensional analysis for yourself.

Magnetic flux density, which most scientists incorrectly call the
magnetic field, is a unit equal to magnetic flux per area.  Magnetic
flux is the flux tube I was talking about.  Some people incorrectly
call them "flux lines."  They are flux tubes, as can be determined by
holding a magnet near a CRT screen.  Also, the unit of magnetic flux
is dimensionally equal to kg m^2 / sec coul.  The m^2 means the unit
is applied over an area.  A line is a single dimension of length, an
area is distributed dimensions (m^2) of length.  A tube has area, a
line is just a line.

A field fills a volume.  Therefore, the unit of magnetic field must
have m^3 as its length dimensions.  Thus the magnetic field unit is
dimensionally kg m^3 / sec coul (in single dimension charge units).

If you actually finished reading Maxwell's "On the Physical Lines of Force"
you just might twig to the fact that the hexagonal voretex lattice described
by Maxwell is a superfluid (probably closer to a supersolid) lattice.  In
such a model what we call matter are physical defects in this lattice.  Simply
froth on this ocean of spacial aether.  A miniscual part of the actual universe.

Here are some neo-aether (QM & Relativistic compliant) references...

    Okay, here is where you didn't answer my question. The formula
above is not the same as the formula I provided because there is no
angle term. The formula I provided is:
F=q V x B
where F is the force vector, V is the velocity vector, B is the
magnetic field vector, and x is the cross product. You refer to the
magnetic field magnitude as the magnetic field flux density, which is
fine. In other words, |B|=mfxd. However, suppose there is an angle A
between B and V. Then,
|F|=q|V| |B| sinA
   Furthermore, the direction of F is provided by a hand rule. Thus
the cross product is a shorthand notation for using the sinA factor
and the hand rule. Your aether model does not provide either a hand
rule of a sinA factor.
    The magnitude of the force is proportional to "sinA". So if A is
0 degrees or 180 degrees, |F| is zero regardless of the size of "velc"
or "mfxd." Your formula implies that |F|>0 when A is 0 degrees or 180
degrees.
   Furthermore, your formula does not provide a direction to F, the
force vector. In real physics, we learn the left hand rules that
determine the direction of the force.
   Now, I have been looking for your link to the white paper. When I
find it, I will be looking for that hand rule and the sinA term. If I
don't find it, I will be very disappointed. |:-)

Your equation didn't show a separate angle variable, so I didn't add
one either.  The math works the same for either system for this
particular equation, except that the dimensions of charge are
different.  You wanted a physical explanation of the equation in terms
of Aether.  I gave it to you.  Now you are changing the question
retroactively.

The explanation I gave focused on the physical explanation of the
equation and explained the distributed charge concept and the two
types of charges.  Apparently you missed all of that, or did not
understand it.  Did you really want a physical explanation for the
equation?

   I said that x was a cross product. I said V and B were vectors. If
you didn't understand what a cross product was, you should have either
asked or looked up the formulas for magnetic force. A lot of intro
physics students, even premeds, learn the formula for magnetic force
including the angle term without using the word "cross product." You
obviously didn't know there was an angle term there. Does your
derivation include an angle factor? If it doesn't, it doesn't simulate
a real magnetic field.

     The dimensions absolutely remain the same. The factor, sinA, is
dimensionless. Your dimensions at least were correct. If you have to
change the dimensions for a dimensionless factor, you have a wrong
answer.
>  You wanted a physical explanation of the equation in terms

> retroactively.
    No. I started out asking the question in a mathematically
rigorous way, using a mathematical shorthand where the angle term was
define. You retroactively changed the problem, by ignoring the
mathematical shorthand and changing the meaning of the "x" term. In
fact, I suspect you had an inkling of what you were doing because you
exchanged the x for *. In any case, the angle term is part of the
experimentally verified magnetic force formula.
    If you can't explain it with the angle term, then you haven't
physically explained magnetism with a aether formula.

    You did not explain the equation. In addition to leaving out the
angle term, you provided a picture where there is no net force on the
electric charge. When I pointed that out, you suddenly redefined B as
the gradient of the magnetic flux density. However, the gradient of
the magnetic flux density has different dimensions. When one takes a
gradient, the dimensions have to be divided by a length quantity. So
by taking the gradient, you changed the correct units into incorrect
units.
      Your physical picture implies something totally unphysical. The
fact is, there is a force even if there is no spatial variation of the
magnetic flux density. Your model implies that there is no force if
the magnetic flux density doesn't vary. Thus, the picture you had me
analyze doesn't explain the physics described by this formula.
    Yes, I want you to explain to me in terms of aether physics the
equation,
F=q V x B,
where F is the force vector, q the charge, V the velocity and B the
magnetic field, and x the cross product. I meant every word.
    To make it simpler, let me explain the cross product "x." Suppose
A and B are vectors with an angle T between them. C is their cross
product so that
C=A x B.
   Let the magnitude (i.e., Pythagorean length) of any vector, V, be
designated by |V|. Then
|C|=|A| |B| sinT
and the direction of C is given by the left hand rule. Look up left
hand rule, it is very difficult without pictures. Note that T is
between 0 and 180 degrees, so there is no problem with negative
numbers. So now you know what cross product is, and you will not be
confused again.
    All I want is an aether explanation for
F=q V x B
where q is the charge, F is the force vector, V is the velocity
vector, B is the magnetic field (using your units,  of which I have no
problem), and x is the cross product. If you can't derive this
formula, used over and over again for all sorts of devices, then you
don't have a physically useful model of the electromagnetic field.
This includes light.
    And I don't even care about the Michaelson-Morley experiment!
