An Idea

Newtonian physicists postulated ether as the medium that transmitted electromagnetic waves

But then it was found that e/m was a self-regenerating wave.

Does this mean you don't believe in the ether Austin?

Does this mean you don't believe in the ether Austin?

While it is not required as a medium for e/m, I must still investigate the rest, since I can't just go by belief or not. Wilczek has given the aether a new name, but I forgot what it was.

How was the aether poem?

“God” is but a larger question,
And certainly not an answer,
For then one must then explain it.

Thus, one has put a greater distance
Between us and the knowledge
Of the beginning of secondary particles.

This does not close the gap, but opens it—
As the human mind arbitrarily declares
The dogma of “stop” for its own satisfaction.

This onlyperpetuates ignorance
To future generations.

The human-written Bible is but human-written.

Pronoucements and declarations are nothing more
Than pronouncements and declarations.

If indeed logic and data
Could tell us that God exists,
Then there would be no need
For ‘faith’ and no unbelievers.

There'll always be a belief in God, Austin, it's innate and it's called the Tao. The animator, the way.

"God" is historically not involved in the TAO or in Bhuddist beliefs.

Picky, picky Austin. My way started with the Tao, moved on to the Gita, back to the Bible, to rediscover a Personal Loving God. But that is my Way, you of course have your Way.

Best on your journey in paradise.

Thanks, Prof, and may your combined way of the Church of ProfPat bring you great joy.

Oh, Wilczek called the aether the "grid".

Although Einstein is widely credited with abolishing the ether concept, he actually introduced a new relativistic ether in 1916, developing the idea in his later works. This book tells the story of Einstein and the rebirth of the ether. The author recounts how Einstein came to reject the 19th century ether, and describes the three relativistic ether models developed by Einstein after he introduced general relativity. Finally, it describes Einstein’s treatment of spacetime as a material entity—a “new ether”.

New human-written Bible page for Prof
That combines God with the TAO.

The ether is something which permeates space, but is NOT space itself.

Einstein did not invent a new ether, he subsumed it into spacetime.
