	Luminiferous aether - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the late 19th century the luminiferous aether ("light-bearing aether"), or ether, was a substance postulated to be the medium for the propagation of light.
		Electroweak theory and quantum field theory suggest that light could appear to move at different speeds in different directions in a medium such as a dense gas; the speed of light would be sensitive to motion relative to an ether and the refractive index of the medium.
		Aether theory was dealt another blow when the Galilean transformation and Newtonian dynamics were both modified by Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity, giving the mathematics of Lorentzian electrodynamics a new, "non-aether" context.

		The Theory of Everything can be used to encompass all the different theories as long as they propose to describe the biggest picture possible.
		This is a better word than Totally Unified Theory which is a narrow-minded view which attempts to explain the entire universe as a single particle, which in the end may not be true at all.

	PowerPedia:Aether theories - PESWiki
		Aristotle included aether in the system of the classical elements of Ionic philosophy as the "fifth element" (the quintessence), on the principle that the four terrestrial elements were subject to change and moved naturally in straight lines while no change had been observed in the celestial regions and the heavenly bodies moved in circles.
		According to him, electroweak theory and quantum field theory suggest that light could appear to move at different speeds in different directions in a medium such as a dense gas in contradiction with special relativity; the speed of light would be sensitive to motion relative to an ether and the refractive index of the medium.
		Where LET said that constant velocity through the aether was undetectable, SR used this undetectability to reject the concept of an underlying aether as superfluous, and replaced a notional state of aether motion with it with the concept of the inertial frame.

	Michelson-Morley experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Physics theories of the late 19th century postulated that, just as water waves must have a medium to move across (water), and audible sound waves require a medium to move through (air), so also light waves require a medium, the "luminiferous aether".
		If the aether were stationary relative to the sun, then the Earth's motion would produce a fringe shift one twenty-fifth the size of a single fringe.
		Amongst the predictions of Einstein's later general theory of relativity is that there are gravitational waves across the universe, but as of 2005 this gravitational radiation seems to be too weak to have been detected so far.

	Aether, Relativity and Superfluidity - Barry C. Mingst
		The concept of the aether arose from the study of the behavior of wave action and light.
		The demise of the concept of the aether resulted from the tumultuous evolution of the physical concepts of the early twentieth century (quantum theory and general relativity).
		In this case the wind affects the surface of the earth or the aether is presumed to affect the earth's orbit.

	The Reference Frame: Aether compactification
		The aether used to be a substance that was thought to fill the space and whose vibrations were identified with the electromagnetic waves.
		These theories do not solve any problems, every new physical phenomenon in them is inherently incompatible with observations (they are at least as wrong as they are interesting), they effectively return us before 1905, and they show a lack of creativity of their authors.
		Carroll and Tam use Jacobson's aether in a five-dimensional spacetime and choose the direction of the aether vector to be in the fifth, space-like dimension.

	Chapter 2 - Ontology - Secrets of the Aether
		The Aether is non-material in nature and is revealed by Coulomb’s constant, the gravitational constant, the speed of light, the permeability constant, and the permittivity constant.
		It is because of this Aether geometry that it is possible to discretely model electrons, photons, protons, and neutrons and their interactions.
		At the core of the Aether Physics Model is a mathematically correct Unified Force Theory, the first such theory to exist in modern science.

	Anti Relativity : Anti-Relativity's conjecture about Aether
		He remained an Aether proponent throughout his life and is quoted as saying about Einstein's theories that they were "vague and incoherent".
		Aether is a “less dense” (for lack of a better explanation) form of matter.
		All Aether in space is under a constant pressure and the constant absorption of Aether causes a localized depressurization of the Aether.

	Michelson-Morley & the Story of the Aether Theory
		The story of ether, or aether, is familiar to anyone who has studied the history of science and the seminal tale from the heroic age of physics of the Michelson-Morley experiment to establish whether or not light travels through a mysterious medium that fills space -- the ether.
		If the theory of a stationary ether through which the earth moved were correct, then pointing one arm of the apparatus in the direction of the earth's travel through space would produce a displacement of the observed pattern of interference fringes amounting to 0.4 of a fringe width.
		His theory, which quickly attained widespread currency and a wide measure of support made two key assumptions; first that the speed of light is constant, regardless of the speed of the source, and second, that there is no ether at absolute rest with respect to moving objects such as the earth.

	CONCERNING THE AETHER
		Their aether was composed of atoms too light to be retained by the earth, representing no special medium and therefore unable to participate in the make-up of the four elements or to serve any special purpose, beyond comprising the moon, sun, stars and planets.
		One of the main pillars of the General Theory of Relativity is the celebrated anomaly in the advance of the perihelion of Mercury.
		Inadequate experimental equipment may mean that verification of a theory proves impossible for a period, as occurred with Copernicus' theory of planetary motion until Galileo developed a new telescope through which it was possible to view the hitherto unobserved phases of Venus.

		According to Starkman, the effects of this aether could explain why galaxies don't fly apart even though they rotate too fast for the gravity of their observable stars and gas to keep them together.
		The aether effectively "softens up" space, allowing masses to more easily bend it, and thus extending the effect of their gravity to greater distances.
		The aether could also be responsible for the accelerating expansion of the universe that scientists have measured.

		He clearly did not mean the kind of "aether" which had been envisioned by Maxwell and others in the nineteenth century, but his remarks have been seized upon ever since, by various cranks and other ill-informed persons, as evidence that "gtr is an aether theory".
		Einstein recanted on his 1905 rejection of the aether since the mutable curved space-geometry is a dynamical object (with shift and lapse fields in ADM formulation), hence an aether.

	My H-aether Theory
		H-aether theory is an attempt to describe the way in which light travels through free space.
		It is based on the notion that light initially travels at c with respect to its source but subsequently changes speed as it traverses long distances.
		However this theory says that the velocity of an individual photon passing through other light will be affected in some way.

	Ross Tessien: Aether Theory and Related Papers
		So the aether, the nodal structure of space, and all waves are being translated into the interior of the event horizon at a velocity of greater than c inside of the horizon.
		Thus, because of the expansive momentum of the universe, the aether is being depleted in pressure, and exothermic reactions are replenishing that pressure.
		Exothermy is a process by which aether escapes and helps to increase the pressure of the quantum vacuum, or the ocean of aether we call a universe.

	The Phi-Wave Aether, Dec 2005
		Be that as it may, experiments seem to have shown that the aether wind relative to the Earth is small, and this indicates, to my mind, that the aether must move with the Earth.
		A major reason, though, for assuming a fluid aether is simply that without it the whole PWA concept, together with the possibility of reaching a deeper understanding of the mechanism behind forces, fails.
		This is a recurring problem in any aether theory: the experimental distinction between the effects of aether motion and those of waves carried by the aether is very difficult.
