Fw: Re: Are EM waves and/or their fields physical ?

2013-01-10 Thread Roger Clough


I appear to be wrong about the aether, according to a physicist
friend of mine, and the lastest physics:

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

Apparently the Michaelson-Morley experiment has been explained away,
and, together with the discovery of dark energy and matter,  
the theory of the aether is being replaced by new theories.

just the opposite. general relativity brought aether back, but it is 
4-dimensonal.

 Another matter is that since the michaelson-morley experiment, 
 space itself does not exist (is nonphysical). There is no aether. 
 Electromagnetic waves propagate through nothing at all, 
 suggesting to me, at least, that they, and their fields, are 
 nonphysical.

As long as people continue to misinterpret energy as phantom of public 
physics they will always need to invent new kinds of foams, forces, fluxes, 
and fields to prop it up. Also there will need to continue to be new 
theories which explain away the enormous chasm between that world of 
nonsensical ghosts and the universe in which we actually live.
