Atomic Aether and the Aether Hurricane

I’ve spent quite a few posts pontificating about the larger scale machinations of the aether, and have written about various phenomenon that seemingly could be associated with it.  I’ve boiled the entire universe down to a universal elemental aether with ripples on it – ripples that we can, in an abstract sense, call energy.

But what of the atomic realm?  If the action of free energy in the aether is so simple to describe, then  the atoms that comprise matter must also follow a simple description.  We are moulding the universe of a single elemental material: the aether.

Everything turns.  Like the lyrics in the song from the sixties, everything turns.  Magnets have their vortex swirls, weather systems have their turning hurricanes, atoms have their orbiting electrons (though “orbit” is a debatable term). But you get the point.  There is a pattern in these swirls, and the aether must support them prodigiously.  When we look at magnetic force, we must be looking at a house that follows the aetheric foundations under it.

We have the aether perturbations/ripples/energy-abstractions of movement and momentum (some call this space), and we have everything else in the rest of the vast aether – all of the perturbanceless/rippleless parts of it (some call the latter counter space). What separates the two are aether discontinuities – changes in the medium’s properties that are boundary conditions of perturbances, and that reflect similarly to an impedance discontinuity.  The idea of moving ripples on the aether (in the case of both slow and fast light) – seem simple to understand as an abstraction for energy. But what of the atomic nature of matter? Can its parts also be moulded into the simple model?

What separates the two are aether discontinuities – changes in the medium’s properties that are boundary conditions of perturbances

I have the feeling that the aether underlies all of the universe.  What we perceive as energy moves (really it transfers) across the aether, but occasionally it gets closed off.  Perhaps there is some mechanism by which regions of the aether become closed off from the rest of the aether.  Perhaps a wall is created by circulating fast light, which here and there in the early universe was found in sufficient strengths to produce aether boundary conditions in the swirl – aether discontinuities (like the impedance discontinuities of electrical theory).  Perhaps these discontinuities are really what traps the energy inside of an atom.  Perhaps the electrons really do not orbit at all – and instead reflect from the boundary conditions of the closed-off regions of aether.

What could sustain the aether discontinuity?  When energy transits the aether, it produces a real-time discontinuity as it goes.  Could such a discontinuity be a semi-permanent thing in the case of energy that has been walled-off into a mass of matter?  Such a wall would need to be very dense and very efficient.  Let’s say the modulus of elasticity for the aether is such that fast light does not have infinite speed.  This seems reasonable, even though we have no proof for or against such a thing.  That means the elastic action of the aether takes time to happen.  That would also mean that the reverse process would take time to happen.  Would this idea support an almost infinitely strong and reflective wall for atomic containment?

And if it did provide such a thing, could it be used to contain fusion reactions?  The discontinuity wall need not hold back the whole of the energy of a nuclear weapon.  The fusion reaction of a single hydrogen atom produces only a trillion’th of a joule of released energy.  It’s the chain reaction that makes a nuclear weapon go boom in a big way.  Yes – it’s much more energy than the oxidation reaction of say – gasoline – but it’s not the whole warhead in a single atom – not even close.  It takes trillions of atoms in a chain reaction to effect Hiroshima-like damages.  Someone suggested that the fusing of a thousand hydrogen atoms would likely not be felt on the tip of your finger.

So, using discontinuities to hold a fusion reaction is seemingly something that is in feasible scale.

Packin the Pantry (for the Apocalypse)

Many of us are keeping the pantry better packed these days, due to the situations brought upon us in 2020.  I have been doing the same, but I have taken a little more scientific approach to the job this time – rather than what I may have done in the past.

The easiest thing to buy and store away is a can of food.  But, how efficient is a can of food in the pantry?  A little experiment will tell you the answer is “it all depends”.  For a long time I’ve been aware of the difference in what’s in one can of food versus what’s in another can of supposedly the same food.

Take beans, for example.  I’ve noticed for a long while that one can isn’t nearly what another might be, in terms of being full to the top with (actual beans).  So, I started looking at what’s in each can.  I don’t have a small scale, but I can eyeball stuff pretty well.  So, I started dumping cans of food into a strainer, and eyeballed the result each time.  Wow! What a difference.  It’s worse than I thought.

Some cans of beans had barely over half of what other cans of beans had.  Now, don’t take me wrong.  I like the sauce and the juice (and even a little water) with my beans.  But not when it’s almost half the can!

The moral seems to be to know which brands have the beans, so to speak.  Not unexpectedly, the cheap brands often have less solid food (but not always).  So, buying the cheap brand for 25% discount isn’t a good deal if it has only half the beans in it.  I’ve been packin-the-pantry accordingly, buying more bang-for-my-buck even though it’s not always the cheapest brand.

It’s not only canned goods.  Jars have the same problem.  Take applesauce as an example.  Some like it soupy, some like it thick and chunky.  I always buy the thick and chunky, cause I’m getting more actual apple.  And, you know, when that so-called apocalypse comes to town, we want to have more apple.  Just an opinion …

Note that the graphics are not intended to represent any particular brand, and my approach using the eyeball-the-seive measurement system may not be on-the-spot accurate.

God Whacked the Universe with His Mallet

So, which came first?  Was it the Energy or the Aether?  Anybody following my lines of thought over the past few months realizes that I’ve essentially boiled the universe down to two things: energy and the aether.  Everything is a mechanical derivation of the effects of energy against the aether fabric of the universe.

During the creation event, did God whack the aether with a giant hammer?  And if this is so – was the hammer blow so hard that all of the universe is still reverberating from it today?

If, like Tesla believed, the universal fabric of the aether is (almost) frictionless, then the reverbations would be very slow to die out.  Instead, the ripples in the aether would ping-pong around the universe, sometimes coalesced into the hard/fast light of matter, and sometimes as transient ripples.

The ripples are directed in two ways.  There are the efficient, point-to-point, low divergence longitudinal momentum shifts of fast light, and the omni-directional, less efficient, high divergence momentum shifts of slow light, operating at the meager speed of C.  But – in essence – it’s all bumps and ripples on the aether, which are reflections of the movement of the ripples themselves, which for the moments of its movements can be considered to be energy.  So, energy itself is an abstraction for this transfer across the aether, and below it all is yet another simplification: all is the aether.

All is the aether, different here and there only by the slight manifestations of its twists and turns.  I started with quantum mechanic’s myriad particles, and soon discarded those ideas.  I boiled the maple syrup of what I thought the ingredients really were, getting down to the soft tack stage of the aether, energy, and matter.  Additional hard syrup boiling produced only aether and energy, and finally at the molasses state we have pure aether.  God had a simple task.  He only needed a one ingredient universe, and then it was a simple thing (for him) to whack it with his giant mallet.  We still listen to the music from that event billions of year on …

After he whacked the aether with his hammer, His job was done.  No more energy needed ever be added to the universe, because its frictionless design loses none.  The conservation laws (of energy, of momentum) are a tribute to this ultra-efficient aether, one-ingredient universe.

The twists and turns of the constantly excited universal aether can be manifested in many ways.  It is able to segregate itself into partitions, to make atoms and molecules.  Perhaps, the atom’s parts are confined by the medium discontinuities of the twisting, pulsating aether.  So, there are walls in the aether, that go to explain the universal divisors that break it up into a perception of matter, of energy, and of myriad details associated with that.  Yet, at its core it is all bumps and ripples …

Is a one-ingredient universe such an outrageous idea?  Let’s take the example of concrete.  Let’s consider that it’s really one ingredient (even though we know it’s a few indgredients).  But, it’s moldable and malleable, and can make many things.  So it is with the aether.

Why Light Never Stands Still

There is the old saying that rust never sleeps.  Well, light never stops.  In the atomist’s viewpoint of the world, there is not really a pat answer for why light ceaselessly moves.  But, to an aetherist, it’s a simple thing to understand.  To the aetherist, all the universe is a 3D fabric of aether, with elastic movements within it.  These movements started with the big bang, and continue to this day.  All that ever happens is that the elastic bumps within the aether medium shift around from one place to another.  They are always conserved, and the total universe is always in equilibrium.

The movements of light in the aether are thumps on the structure of the aether, and once those momentum movements have been instigated by a shove on a granule of the aether (a “granule” is what J. Yee calls the smallest elemental piece of the aether fabric) – then there is a corresponding movement (really a momentum transfer) to the other side of the granule.  The movements are not continuous movements, but instead a bump-bump-bump type of transfer.

Light that doesn’t move, by definition, doesn’t exist

When two opposing bumps collide, there is a bigger deformation of a single granule, but all of the energy of that collision is released back onto adjacent granules, because the aether absorbs nothing in the collision that it does not immediately release in the same form.  It is perfectly elastic.  Such an elastic return of the condition of the mesh will happen unless the first bump is immediately followed by a second bump, so the bigger deformations that are seen are a kind of slight of hand.  The light keeps moving.

This is different than is the case with matter, where the collisions are not perfectly elastic.  Matter can keep its deformations, and matter can stop (at least relativistically).

The light (which is a bump/ which is energy/ which is momentum) never stops.  If light were ever to stop, it would not be elastically deforming the aether, and so the bump that is the representation of light would not any longer exist.  The light would disappear from the universe.  That doesn’t happen, because the energy (of the pseudo-movement of the transfer of momentum) is always conserved.  It just goes somewhere else, instead of disappearing.  This is because the aether itself absorbs no energy that is not immediately released again.

This happens because we have defined the light to be a bump on the aether.  But, we mean by that statement that light is a transfer within the aether.  It is a bump-bump-bump style of movement. It is momentum transfer.  So, by definition, we say that light is movement (in bits), and light that doesn’t move, by definition, doesn’t exist.

Creeping Perfectionism

Figure 1: A shot from the Pentax: far from perfect.

There is this thing I call the creep of perfectionism.  It stems from the fact that nothing is ever perfect, even though we may think it is, for a time.  I remember my first camera (a Kodak brownie borrowed from my mum).  It was pretty darned good, I thought.  Later, when I bought an Olympus OM film camera, it seemed vastly superior to the old brownie.  I thought the pictures were just perfect.  Well, later the digital cameras became available, and I purchased a digital Pentax.  I realized the Olympus film camera was less than perfect, but it took the retrospective of the Pentax to make me realize this fact.  So, it’s with hindsight that we continually must update our ideas about perfection, and we update continually because we never reach it.

So, I upgraded my kit to have a camera without the anti-alias filter (a Pentax K5 /iis), and a Sigma lens.   Yet, the results so far leave me still wanting for that sharpness factor.  I’m using the Sigma 18-250 mm lens in the shot shown in figure 1.  Click the picture to see it in full size.  Doesn’t the detail of the pic just lack something in terms of the sharpness factor?  Do I need a full frame camera to get what I want?  Is it the lens, the camera, or the picture taker that’s at fault?  I suspect it’s the latter.

I guess people are just as imperfect as cameras.

Aether Atomic Bubbles: Built with Angular Momentum?

 The past couple posts could be retitled to “The flopping fish, part one and part two” – because I’ve flopped around quite a bit in the descriptions I’ve put inside of them.  Normally, I can grab onto an idea and flesh it out with more strength and consistency (even if it’s a pretty wild idea), but building a spherical aether discontinuity within which to contain an atom’s contents have me flopping about on the beach.

To build a spherical shell of aether discontinuity, we envision a boundary surface area, agitated in some way by one or another type of energy.   Most ideas relative to “making the energy go round and round” are not very solid feeling.  But, another type of circular feature – angular momentum – already has a firm footing in the physics of optics and lasers.

The wavelength width of a laser beam is huge in comparison to an atom.  Wavelengths of transverse light for lasers are typically in the area of 500 nanometers, which abolutely dwarfs the size of an atom.  So, building a spherical aether discontinuity from an “angular momentum machine” seems right in one way – which is that the product fits inside the machine.

Laser borne bessel vortex beams may be the parts of such an atom producing machine.  Observing the output of such a laser apparatus shows what appear to be flying smoke rings, indicating that all sorts of angular and longitudinal momentums are twisted into the wavefront.

Why so much flopping around?  I once worked in a semiconductor wafer fab plant.  The theorists would come into the room, sit down, and run through the theory.  “Maybe this will fix your problem,” they might say.  But usually the maybe fix didn’t work.  Back in the day, semicon was a black art.  I wasn’t directly aligned with the physics of the job (mine was more about quality and computer programming) – but I did have a spot in the QA feedback loop that let me watch the black art fixes in action.

There was a lot of quantum in building chip wafers.  Now maybe I’d say, “There was a lot of aether.”

The black art fix was implemented by forming a brainstorm session which solicited any ideas that popped into our heads.  The whole group would do this, including myself.  The boss would say, “Anything that pops into your head, say it.”  No reservations.  No worries about it being stupid.  We covered blackboards in that fashion.

We always fixed the problem.

So it is with the aetherists.  I know it’s not an official term, but I think there are a bunch of us out there.  We have some pretty esoteric (crazy sounding) theories, but we like to splash them onto the board.

Aether Bubbles: The View from Within

Some of us remember the 500 word essay we wrote in grade school; the one we wrote for talking in class – and the one for which the insides of a ping-pong ball was the proscribed subject matter.

The task of building the entire universe out of one thing is about the same.

In our last 500 word essay, we wrote of bubbles in the aether, and of circularly driven hard (and probably fast) light energy, (note that hard light term comes from the Theoria YT channel and refers to extremely high energy “light”. He is not affiliated with this site, but I agree with some of his precepts. I have been describing a pretty esoteric view of the universe. Splitting energy into fast/hard and slow/soft light gives us some leeway with regard to building a molecular model out of aether (and nothing else).

If indeed the idea of light-speed particles orbiting anything (under normal conditions) is as absurd as it sounds, then the aether view of the bubble of an atom, with its aether discontinuity shell, may be an upgrade in the thoughts about the matter.  Having a two speed light, each speed with different interaction capabilities (i.e., with matter, with energy, with aether) – gives us some construction help in the building of atoms with internals like “electrons” and a “nucleus” and a bunch of “photons”.  Each may serve as an abstraction for bumps in the aether, some condensed and circular, some uncondensed and line-like.

We know the constants in the periodic table do work

We know the constants in the periodic table do work.  They work to build molecules of atoms in a very logical way.   But, the constants themselves can be derived in many theoretical ways.  There is more than one way to build a constant conceptually, and some other concepts may be wrong.  The current model is not necessarily correct, simply because it produces constants of the correct magnitude.  The vector may be wrong.

So, what about the insides of a ping-pong ball aether bubble?  It must have something that mimicks levels, or at least that is an intuitive thing to think.   There are a couple ways to conceive this, right off hand.  There are some other folks on the YT channels (FractalWoman comes to mind) – that subscribe to the idea of standing waves as “particles” and travelling waves as “energy”.  To a great extent, I think that is good reasoning in an aether-only restricted universe. We need to use every angle we can get our hands on.

The waves are reflected from the aether discontinuity shell.

But, standing waves are built from forward and reflected waves.  Note the latter term.  The reverse wave kinda has to be reflected from something.  This is where I step in.  The waves are reflected from the aether discontinuity shell.  Inside of the shell, the forward and reflected waves could create standing waves, and (as the YT lady says) – represent “electrons”.  How could energy transit the barrier of the aether shell discontinuity?  Hard/fast light and slow light have different interaction capabilities, as mentioned earlier.  One could interact, while the other did not.

OK, so we have an aether shell and some electrons.  Let’s put the nucleus aside for the moment.  How do we interact our ping-pong ball bubble with others, so as to create molecular compounds?

There is the subject of surface waves.  Our favorite YT lady has pontificated upon these in great extent.  These waves can produce (at the surface/interface of aether discontinuities) either attraction or dis-attraction (where the former is a type of low pressure mediation).   In that idea could be our molecule builder.

In Genesis it’s written that God moulded the universe.  How convenient it may be that the single ingredient of  the aether was His clay.

Atoms: Bubbles in the Aether?

Over the last few posts, I have been exploring new aspects within the scope of my nascent idea about a one ingredient universe.  Previously, efforts to imagine the universe in light of a universal aether medium were targeted towards finding the form and action of energy, and esoteric things like quantum aether entanglement.  Does energy have a form? Well yes, because this mechanical viewpoint of the universe depends upon an aether with a modulus of elasticity that implies deformation of the medium, thus presenting with “form”.  Also, the recent discovery of “shaped light” seems to reveal that the underlying prime nature of the universe may be aether.

But, how do we factor the atom into an aether + energy universe?   I have been promoting the idea of aether discontinuities for much of the action within the universal aether.  They are like electrical impedance discontinuities, but are instead mechanical discontinuities of the aether medium. I have promoted the idea that the electrical discontinuity derives from the aether one.

The aether’s discontinuities give form to circuits of energy transfer within the aether, and provide for the pathways of quantum aether entanglement.  But – in addition to this, might the atom be a “form” comprised of the same kind of discontinuity?  I have in the last few posts mentioned the idea of closed-off regions of aether, which behave differently than the aether in general.  These closed-off areas trap energy within them, according to my embryonic idea.  Think about the atom.  What is it but a region of trapped energy?  If we equate energy with mass (as Einstein does in E=mc²), then an atom is indeed a bubble of trapped energy, albeit some of that energy is in another form.

Does energy have a form?

Not all of quantum mechanics is wrong.  The mathematics do add up in most cases.  Nonetheless – the QM-centric perception of the underlying principles underneath the mechanics and the mathematics are not correct in my opinion.  Some is simply left out of the discussion in the realm of acedemia.

I have written of circular light; of light traveling in circles.  If aether deformation and/or aether discontinuity is caused by the transit/transfer of energy, and if aether discontinuity is responsible for that bubble of aether region we’d like to promote as an atom, then the light may need to traverse a circular path in order to enclose the region, to trap the energy, to enable levels of quantum potential leaps. We have formulated that there are two kinds of light.  Perhaps high energy light is needed to enclose aether regions.  Some may call it “hard” light (The author of the Theoria YT channel does this.  Note he does not necessarily agree with anything on this page).

Is it so crazy to imagine that light could travel in a circle?  Light can indeed travel in a circular path if it travels along an aether discontinuity.  Refraction along a discontinuity is what enables light to follow the curves of a fiber in a fiber optic cable.  The light does not bounce as a reflection, but instead follows a soft curve (which does “bounce”) – due to the refractive index of the cable lining.  So, it curves a little.

A laser originated bessel vortex beam projects a helical wavefront, which is an unclosed circle due to the longitudinal component of the wave.  A very powerful bessel vortex beam, or perhaps the intersection/crossing of many of them – may produce an atom.

A very powerful bessel vortex beam may produce an atom.

Under most conditions, light would not curve much.  But, the creation of matter is a monumental event, requiring enormous energies of the type that would have been found in the early periods of the big bang and its aftermath.  In this cauldron of hot primordial elements, the aether may have formed bubbles.  In the beginning, the bubbles would be small and simple like hydrogen.  Does the so-called electron orbit around the nucleus, or does it reflect radially?  I think it does both those and other trajectories as well, probably randomly. Related to the curvature of light is the idea of angular momentum and vortexes.  A magnet exhibits the character of the vortex.

The hourglass of the magnet’s energy is a tribute to this progenity …

The nature of the aether seems to be such that it supports vortex forms.  The hourglass of the magnet’s energy is a tribute to this progenity.  It may be that the curved form of the energies involved in atom creation are present due to the torsion supporting attributes of the aether.  So, maybe the formation of an atom is more about angular momentum than anything else.

In any case it may be that the trapped oscillation is enabled by a momentary closing of a bubble in the presence of intense amounts of big-bang energy.  After enablement, it would be self sustaining, as it would create its own aether discontinuity.  Thus the atom could be a spherical region of trapped energy, “latched” into closed form by an instantaneous burst/event in the soup of creation.  After the region was closed, it would not matter whether the action was orbital or radial or anything else.  The aether discontinuity would reflect or refract all of the energy, keeping it trapped within the atom.

Thus the atom could be a spherical region of trapped energy, “latched” into closed form …

I have always been uncomfortable with the “orbiting electron” view of atomic structure.  The aetherists view is that there is no pull, or attraction, in the universe – but only push.  Pull can be mimicked, however, by what is really more like a low pressure phenomenon. Taking such a standpoint means that the speed of light velocity of an electron (or photon) would ordinarily cause it to fly off into counter-space.  Something must trap it, and I’m gathering the opinion that it’s an aether discontinuity that does so.
