Thoughts

Can use the velocity equation to find the binding energy of electron-positron pair. If charge really comes from a sea of a-abar then what makes it positive or negative? said another way, what about a proton makes it always positive? I think this fits in well with her Mandelbrot theory. It makes me wonder what’s on the other side of the ether.

Notes

Sounds is due to a perturbation in the medium air that propagates with a wave pattern at the speed of sound.

Some action must occur for the wave to appear; the medium is perturbed.

Claims: 1. In order for a wave to form something must be waving 2. Wave propagation required a medium

Vs=sqrt(Ks/rho) vs: speed of sound Ks: stiffness coefficient rho: density coefficient

C=sqrt(1/u0e0) u0: permeability e0: permittivity of free space =sqrt(u0^-1/e0) so inverse permeability is like the stiffness coefficient. More permeable things tend to be less stiff. Permittivity~dielectric polarization density

A medium should exist because light propagates at a finite velocity.

Assumes the binding energy determines its stiffness (related to elastic properties).

Electron positron anihilation releases two 0.511MeV gammas. Argued they don’t really annihilate but fall back into the lattice/medium = ether, like Na+ and Cl- do when 8eV light taken away from NaCl. This means the e-p BE = 1.022MeV. This gives you the exact speed of light which means the vacuum of space is really e-p = diracs sea. They don’t become ponderable until a charged particle comes in. You calculate the correct speed of light for any a-abar. So the medium is really a-abar and shows where all the virtual pairs come from in quantum field theory.

There are many similarities between sound and light. For example, both sound and light carry energy from one place to another. Both sound waves and light waves ex- perience wave interference. They both exhibit Doppler shift. Both experience reflection, refraction and diffrac- tion. Refraction is the bending of a wave when it moves between media with different propagation speeds. Both sound and light refract toward the normal of the gradient when moving from a fast medium to a slow medium.
Another similarity has to do with the speed of sound in a rarefied medium. Earlier, it was noted that the speed of sound actually slows down in rarefied air even though the density is lower than the non-rarefied air. Rarefied mediums actually reduce the stiffness constant of the medium which also affects the speed of sound in said medium. If light propagates in a medium, then the speed of light should also slow down when the medium is rarefied.

When matter is present the ether is rarefied. And the ether rarefies matter. So light slows down. Materials that transmit both sound and light means matter and ether are rarefied.

Sound = longitudinal, Light = transverse

photons and phonons are exactly the same (only propagating in differ- ent media). Phonons are the sound equivalent to photons (ie. they oscillate transverse to the direction of motion), only they propagate in solid media. Technically, solids support the propagation of both transverse waves and longitudinal waves. In seismology, longitudinal waves are referred to as pressure waves or P-waves and trans- verse waves are referred to as shear waves or S-waves. This line of thinking also suggests that there may be a (previously undiscovered) longitudinal component to light propagation. Longitudinal electromagnetic waves would be very difficult to detect since the displacement, perpendicular to the direction of motion would be very small.

P-waves are compression waves that prop- agate in the direction of the compression. These waves are very subtle and therefore, much more difficult to de-tect. S-waves move particles perpendicular to the direc- tion of travel and thus propagate slower than P-waves. S-waves are much easier to detect as they create more of a disturbance. In the analogy presented herein, S-waves are analogous to transverse electromagnetic waves and P-waves are analogous to longitudinal electromagnetic waves which, according to the standard model of elec- tromagnetism, do not exist. Without a medium, it is dif- ficult to reconcile the existence of longitudinal waves in the vacuum of space.

LIGO showed 2 black holes colliding with two waves, a gravitational (P) than a gamma (S) 0.4s later.

Generalizes a-abar as vortex-antivortex.
