THINK BIG
|
|
|
|
Imagine a sort of ideal gas made of one size of particles. Suppose that it
|
|
has been all stirred up and contains lots of waves and vortices. The vortices
|
|
themselves can also behave like particles and can propagate waves too, but
|
|
this is a second order effect and the velocity will be lower than the waves in
|
|
the gas itself.
|
|
|
|
It is further possible for the waves in the vortices to produce further
|
|
vortices and again the velocity will be slower. This process can occur
|
|
without limit if we have enough gas and enough time to stir and observe.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
THE AETHER
|
|
|
|
Now I want to suggest that the universe is filled with a gas which is
|
|
something like this and I will call it the aether. This aether will have a
|
|
wave propagation speed of about 10^15 cm/s which is very much faster than
|
|
light. The field which is represented by the pressure of the aether is I
|
|
think the gravitational field of GR.
|
|
|
|
Note that I am suggesting that gravity waves propagate at a much higher
|
|
velocity than the conventional idea, but there is no observational evidence
|
|
that this is wrong, and it is in good agreement with the commonsense
|
|
observation concerning the direction of the gravitational field. The
|
|
traditional view of this is different in theory but not in practice.
|
|
|
|
The locations that we observe to have matter are actually low density aether
|
|
regions. A black hole would be an aether vacuum. This is similar to a
|
|
tornado having a very low internal pressure and density.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
THE ETHER
|
|
|
|
The vortices which exist in the aether can interact also and as a result they
|
|
make another field. I will call this the ether. It will be the ether of
|
|
Maxwell's theory that carries the elctromagnetic fields. It has a propagation
|
|
velocity that we call the speed of light, but does vary from place to place
|
|
depending on the density and pressure of the aether. This is why space is
|
|
considered bent by gravity in GR, but it is better to think of space as
|
|
straight and the velocity of light as variable.
|
|
|
|
Note that the spelling of Aether for grAvity and Ether for Electromagnetism
|
|
was chosen as an easy memory aid.
|
|
|
|
The subject of vortices and the equations which apply to them were fully
|
|
calculated by Kelvin in 1880 and lead to exactly the correct equations for
|
|
electromagnetism as explained by Paul Stowe in a recent post. He also reports
|
|
that this is covered in "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"
|
|
by E Whitaker, Dover, 1989.
|
|

|
|
MATTER
|
|
|
|
When the ether forms another level of vortices it produces what we call
|
|
matter. Matter can also support travelling waves which we call sound, and
|
|
again the speed of propagation of these is very much less than for the level
|
|
above which is light.
|
|
|
|
It is interesting that matter comes in different states of solid, liquid and
|
|
gas which relate to the degrees of freedom that each particle has for its
|
|
motion. One wonders whether the ether can also have such different states
|
|
under different conditions. We may only have ever observed one of these in
|
|
our part of the universe.
|
|
|
|
When we talk about pressure and temperature we mean these to apply to matter,
|
|
but the ether and aether would also have these properties. Evidence of this
|
|
is the already mentioned variation of c near massive bodies. The speed of
|
|
propagation of waves depends on the temperature of the medium.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
MORE LEVELS
|
|
|
|
There is evidence for a further level of slower waves below sound. Heat
|
|
travels at a much slower speed and may be considered to be the next property
|
|
in the sequence: gravity, light, sound, heat. It is probable that matter
|
|
would need to be in an extremely energetic environment for the next level of
|
|
substance to fully manifest itself.
|
|
|
|
Such conditions do not exist on earth but might do so inside stars. If they
|
|
did then we would expect another much slower oscillation in the sun than the
|
|
ones related to sound which take minutes. The sunspot cycle is of the right
|
|
order of length.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
VARIATIONS WITHIN LEVELS
|
|
|
|
The speed of light is not a constant. Each substance has a different speed
|
|
for light and this is usually expressed (inversely) as the refractive index of
|
|
the substance. There are concentrations of different speeds for light around
|
|
certain values which are in simple ratios to the speed in vacuum.
|
|
|
|
For example, the refractive index of water at 18 degrees is 1.3333 or 4/3
|
|
while many substances have refractive indices near 1.50 and 2.00. The rule is
|
|
not absolute, but may be considered to be a bit like Dalton's atomic weights
|
|
which tended to be integers but were complicated by isotope mixtures.
|
|
|
|
Again, the speed of sound in different materials clusters around certain
|
|
velocities that are also in simple proportions to each other such as 12, 6 and
|
|
3 km/s. Interestingly these are some of the same velocities as reported in
|
|
redshift quanta and seem to also be related to typical stellar velocities and
|
|
planetary velocity quanta.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
RATIO STRUCTURE
|
|
|
|
A similar structure is found for the speed of heat in different materials.
|
|
Furthermore the ratio of velocities light/sound and sound/heat are of the
|
|
order of 10^4.5 to 10^5 which is a similar ratio to the scale difference of
|
|
the distances between many structures in the universe in the sequence:
|
|
observed universe, galaxy, star, planet, moon and also atom, baryon.
|
|
|
|
Both the existence of this large ratio and the small ratios of speed in
|
|
different substances are consistent with my Harmonic theory predictions for
|
|
spacial and time structures and suggests that a common cause such as the above
|
|
explanation does exist for all these phenomena. See my WWW pages for a
|
|
description of the Harmonics theory (URL below).
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
SPEED OF GRAVITY
|
|
|
|
If the structure found in the velocities is indeed based on the Harmonics
|
|
theory then it follows that light cannot be the fastest thing. It seems that
|
|
the step faster than light should be gravity. Its speed can be calculated as
|
|
about 1x10^15 cm/s. It seems very likely that gravity is the first order
|
|
component of these vortices as it has a different and simpler form. Therefore
|
|
I expect that there are no more faster levels, but this could well be wrong.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
BASIS OF CHARGE
|
|
|
|
Because matter is made of vortices of vortices in this proposition there will
|
|
be more possibilities than for the first level of vortices. The way that the
|
|
larger and smaller vortices align or not could be the basis of charge. It
|
|
would be interesting to know whether phonons also exhibit some more
|
|
complicated quantum properties as a third level wave.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
VORTEX OR SOLID AETHER
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to consider the aether as being solid. A similar
|
|
structure can be determined as waves and waves of standing waves. This
|
|
account should be considered as possibly applying to either, but because the
|
|
mathematics of the vortex theory has been proven to fit EM theory that option
|
|
was chosen for this article.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
FASTER THAN LIGHT
|
|
|
|
But hasn't it been proven that nothing can go faster than light? No it has
|
|
not. It has been proven that no electromagnetic influence can go faster than
|
|
light. This is a consequence of Maxwell's equations which apply only to the
|
|
second level of the aether/ether field.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
ETHER REST FRAME
|
|
|
|
If I have correctly identified the highest level aether as the medium for
|
|
gravity then it might be possible to send signals faster than light by using
|
|
gravity waves. If only we could detect them. Perhaps existing experiments
|
|
are looking at the wrong frequencies or wavelengths because of using the wrong
|
|
speed for gravity?
|
|
|
|
Again there is the question of whether faster than light travel would violate
|
|
causality? The answer is that it would not, provided that there is a
|
|
preferred reference frame in which the faster velocity occurs. There is. It
|
|
is the ether rest frame. Note that even if we could detect the ether rest
|
|
frame we could not detect the aether rest frame.
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
RELATIVITY
|
|
|
|
There is nothing in the above which disagrees with the predictions of
|
|
relativity except perhaps whether gravity travels at more than c. However it
|
|
is worth mentioning that special relativity is really based on
|
|
electromagnetism in the form of Maxwell's equations and general relativity
|
|
includes the form of gravity but is not dependant on its velocity which it
|
|
just assumes to be the same.
|
|
|
|
So the above should all be consistent with existing theory. However it does
|
|
open up the possibility of extending theory into new areas. It also allows
|
|
the possibility of uniting gravity with electromagnetism.
