Posting #40:- "The Aether and Charges of Charlatanism"
(See also our sister site reticsessays.com)
"Great spirits have always encountered violent oppositions from mediocre minds." - A. Einstein
There have been a significant number of newsposts from individuals who have equated the suggestion that to assert the existence of the Aether is a form of charlatanism. These assertions apparently come from the same individuals who assert that the Special Theory of Relativity has proven that the Aether does not exist. If they have such a proof, they should present it since it does not appear to be present in available texts and writings. What special Relativity does show is that, when observations are limited to those made with information transfer processes which propagate at a velocity equal to or less than the speed of light, it is impossible to observe our absolute velocity through space (i.e.- velocity with respect to the classical Aether. Only a charlatan would assert that such constitutes a proof that the Aether does not exist. It should be noted that it is not the proponents of the Aether who make such a statement, it is the true charlatans, i.e.- the mathematically trained adherents of conventional physical thought. Dr. Einstein warned:-"remember gentlemen, we have not proven that the Aether does not exist, we have merely proven that we do not need it (for computations)".
The fact of the matter is that, if we accept the Lorentz Transformations for Length and Time provided by the Special Theory of Relativity two things become immediately apparent:-
A:- Since the Lorentz Transformation for Velocity, which is length divided by time, is not unity but rather 1/(1-V^2/C^2) the assertion made by adherents of Relativity Theory that the velocity of light is the same in all reference frames can only be true if one uses "rubber" instruments for the observations, a process which is contrary to all basic principles. The velocity of light is "a constant" when measured within a given reference frames. It is not constant for all reference frames when the results of observations which are corrected by the appropriate Lorentz Transformations are and transmitted to a common agreed upon "base reference frame". In other words the velocity of light is "a constant" but it is not necessarily "constant". Conventional physicists who fail to recognize this distinction are the true charlatans, not those individuals who are sufficiently astute to recognize the meaning of the distinction and insist that sound reasoning be applied to the process.
B:- So far, the only explanation posed for the fact that the velocity of light is independent of the velocity of its source is that light is a wavelike disturbance propagating through a medium (e.g.- the classical Aether) If conventionally trained physicists can provide an alternate explanation which does not require magic, they should provide it.
C:- The Lorentz Transformation for Velocity shows clearly to an intelligent mind that it must be possible for an absolute velocity reference frame for space (e.g.- the classical Aether) to exist.
D:- Once the existence of a single velocity reference frame is shown to be possible within the confines of Special Relativity, it is possible to devise a physically realizable experiment which shows that only ONE such reference frame (e.g.:- the Aether) can exist even if we cannot observe our velocity with respect to it. (See Section 4.5 of "The Einstein Hoax.
Unfortunately it is the mainstream physicists who are the charlatans and not those who recognize that the thinking of these allegedly mainstream individuals is screwed up even if where the screwup is not apparent. Those who would claim the Aether exists are not charlatans, they are individuals who recognize that mainstream physics is faulty and are looking for a better set of conclusions.

EVERYTHING WHICH WE ACCEPT AS TRUE MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE WE HAVE ACCEPTED AS TRUE, IT MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OBSERVATIONS, AND IT MUST BE MATHEMATICALLY VIABLE. PRESENT TEACHINGS DO NOT ALWAYS MEET THIS REQUIREMENT. THE WORLD IS ENTITLED TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF WORKMANSHIP FROM THOSE IT HAS GRANTED WORLD CLASS STATUS.
