Michelson and Morley thought we were going through a static ether

Light came back at same time so said no ether

Dynamic ether

Disproved a static ether

Maxwells equation needs a medium for waves to move

Ether, medium for propagation of light, is electron-positron pair {D.L. Hotson says the same in his negative energy solution to Dirac’s equation paper}

Electron positron (like a dipole) annihilate -> release energy and go back into ether -> speed of propagation of electron-positron ether = speed of light

Claim 1. All wave propagation requires a medium

Quantum field = space time = Higgs field = ether

E-p lose energy when go back into ether (lower end state for complexes/ compounds) -> lose most mass energy

Stiffness = inverses permeability, must be high; can still be elastic

Density is very low of e-p

The more solid the faster the speed of light (diamond vel >> air)

Any particle antiparticle (p-pbar) will annihilate back to the ether

Photon = light, when you stand in a water wave it pushes you like a circle, wave is propagating towards the shore so it’s massless, the water has mass

When the water hits the shore it breaks (then water is moving) – eye/ camera as a shore so when wave crashes into it its now a particle = wave particle duality (so what is the mechanism that then gives it mass?)

Wave is a perturbation

Light bulb is vibrating the medium which propagates the wave

Speed of propagation of the medium doesn’t depend on if you’re moving with respect to it. Might see a Doppler shift in one direction.

(Why are the electron positron pairs so much smaller than the electron?) = electric fields

e-p ether reacts to charge coming in and flips orientation towards

Tesla, Einstein, and Maxwell all invoke the ether
