From the EPR experiment we get that light is particle and wave at the same time and from the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Physics and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle we get that the totality is more than the sum of its parts, and that when you get down to the size of atoms there are no solid-like particles spinning in empty space but a net of interconnected particle-wave systems. Also, from Cramer's Transactional Interpretation and John A. Wheeler's Delayed-Choice and from the fact that when we rotate the plane of polarization on a beam of light the whole beam changes at once, instantaneously, we get undividedness of process, wholeness, self reflection and self- organization. It is obvious that matter originates at a deeper level, and it is logical to assume that state is instantaneously known throughout the beam of light thanks to wholeness in space and time. This is where EPR phenomena comes from. There is an interaction occurring at a deeper level between the system and the environment in which it develops. Energy, therefore, matter, comes from a common substrate. In this sense, aether is synonymous to energy, it is pure energy [which is neither hot nor bright... radiation, a form of energy is hot and bright]. Everything is connected to the aether because everything is made from it. Hence the non-separability of process claimed by so many. This is where particle complementarity comes from. In this view, the aether has no capacity to hold any information, just qualities which are used by active information as energy is turned into quantities, or quantized, in spacetime. I believe, like many others, that the aether is the physical, nonmaterial substance, from which the universe emerged. To exist, things must be in spacetime, and the aether is not in spacetime, it is before spacetime, so it is but does not exist as matter. Aether is the empty space in which the universe sits. The aether is all permeating, it is everywhere by its own definition, it is inside and between particles. You can't conceive a fragmentable aether, or it would not be the aether as it was defined thousands of years ago. By definition, everything is made from it, even the space that surrounds you. The aether, as described over four thousand years ago, is materially non-dimensional. Things move, but not in relation to the aether, things move in relation to other things at the classical level. This aether is not matter, therefore, not directly observable. You can measure the properties of fields, but you can't take a direct measurement of the aether. And this aether is indivisible, fields can create the appearance of separated volumes, but you can't divide the aether into separate entities. In that sense, it is, apparently, infinitely divisible. This is why many say you could fit the whole universe in a point. The aether gives the universe properties like wholeness, interconnectedness, continuity, and, since the property of extension doesn't apply to it, non-locality. There are no parts when you refer to the aether, but you can look at electric fields, magnetic fields, gravitational fields, or any kind of force field as different 'things' or 'parts' of a greater whole made from the same continuous and inseparable aether. According to contemporary Quantum Mechanics, particle complementarity is due to an indivisible process which originates in a common background, but, it appears as if the only necessary information being transferred (through EMR in hyperspace) from the aether to the particles is that concerning momentum and location in relation to that inertial frame and the rest of universe. All the information needed for the evolution of the system in spacetime is contained by the system itself, in spacetime. Therefore, eliminating the need for some a priori mega information storage system containing the history of the universe. [X, P] = 0 -- commutativity (leads to a dualism) [X, P] = ih -- non-commutativity (leads to a monism) " The non-commutativity of the underlying process produces an ontological complementarity. This must be contrasted to Bohr's epistemological complementarity. " ----- Basil Hiley According to Louis de Broglie, et al, every object exists as a body coupled to a matter-wave, and its displacement through space can be described by a wave-function. Information about the object's relation to its surroundings and the rest of the universe is picked and brought in by each object's particular pilot-wave. Bodies in motion need to continuously reset their energy requirements. As we now know, particles are not these space independent billiard- ball like objects floating in space, they are particles-wave systems in constant motion and there needs to be a continuous energy flow from the substrate to the particle, this is why position and momentum can't be known at the same time. This is where the Heisenberg uncertainty principle comes from. Matter is continuously changing, becoming, what was a second ago isn't any more, and the only things real or meaningful to us are the information and processes through which things become and what they now are. But the immutable, the eternal, the real, is the empty space in which the universe sits. Matter and fields are just a little more than apparitions, active information. Basil Hiley, one of David Bohm's followers, is correct when he says that being is a relative invariant in the process of becoming, existing is not the same as being. The fundamental laws, that which remains unchanged, is what is real. Can you be without materially existing? Logic tells us that creation ex nihilo physically impossible. And from electromagnetic phenomena and gravitation we get that, physically speaking, to be, you don't need to be material, all you need is to be able to act as a force. Is empty space real? Can we prove it? Can we measure it? Can you mathematically describe the rotation or acceleration of an object in empty space without assuming empty space to be real? I mean, if you were the only particle in space, how could you tell when spinning or accelerating? Or is the only way to have space, rotation and acceleration, when we have more than one object to consider? According to Relativity, objects in spacetime are relative to each other, not to empty space. Empty space may be empirically untenable, but it is already considered as real by present theory. There can't be space without time or motion, that's why Albert Einstein called it spacetime. Time, space and matter, start with the quantum. Quanta can exist only if in motion. Field motion, or energy, turns into matter. If we could stop the motion, matter would go back to being just empty space. Outside of time, quantum events are not possible. Time doesn't exist, unless there is motion, and space can't exist until it is contained, until it is quantized. The aether itself does not move, matter does, the quantum does. Since motion is not one of the aether's properties, then, neither is time, nor change; making it immutable... eternal. You can't talk about size or extension until you have the limits, the boundaries. When I say the universe sits on the aether, I am not saying that the aether exists as an object, I am saying that it is. Only matter exists in spacetime, the aether does not. Any material substance will occupy space. This physical but nonmaterial substance does not occupy any space. It becomes matter as fields spin or pulsate at very high speeds, creating material properties like volume, extension, motion, time, mass, gravity, solidity... and consequently... causing the formation of objects in spacetime. Since it lacks the property of motion and can't be described as containing parts that follow a time line, we can conclude that it is not matter. At the sub-quantum level, the level at which energy is before it turns into multiple entities, motion loses meaning. Electromagnetic fields should not appear as ultimate, irreducible realities. In this view, the aether is the substrate to all matter, including Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). Everything depends on this substrate, this is where the laws of electromagnetism are administered from. Existence starts with the field, and before that there is aether. The aether is before geometry. Spacetime and geometrization come after the aether. The aether, unlike spacetime, is primary. Matter and time are not. The aether is not in spacetime, spacetime is in the aether. Therefore, the universe is background free and there is no fixed or absolute frame of reference, nor absolute time. From Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, we get that objects are not relative to empty space, that they are relative to other objects with mass. In respect to Relativity, what is absolute isn't empty space, nor time, what is absolute is the objective universe, the world. There is absolute reality. This is what makes GTR (General Theory of Relativity) true, everything is related through and by the aether. Or how could it be that when a body is accelerated to near the speed of light, time and length must change in relation to a stationary observer? Wasn't space supposed to be absolute, primary, independent and non-derivable from anything else (Newton)? According to General Relativity the universe is one single entity, one process. Space... objects... Mankind... come from one thing, which by definition we call aether. The aether is nothing in particular but has the potential to become anything. This notion of a primordial substance is a very old one, also known as Akasha or Brahman, and many times described as pure energy or spiritual fire. It has been anthropomorphized by man since the times of Plato and Aristotle, the Chaldeans and the Akkadians. It has been called by the names of Zeus, Jupiter, Brahma and other. But there is no need to continue to anthropomorphize the aether by calling it a person, the aether anthropomorphizes itself. |
