The
?Ether space-time & cosmology? program comprises several volumes designed
to inform the physics community of the resurgence of the ether in modern
science. The reality of the concept and its importance, which were denied at
the beginning of the 20th century, aroused renewed interest by the
end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21stcentury.
Research
undertaken during the last 20 years has confirmed the existence of physical
properties within space, even where it is devoid of ordinary matter. In
addition to the well known properties of permittivity, permeability and the
ability to transmit electromagnetic waves, more recently other features have
been associated with the concept of space. These include the Casimir Effect and
a significant amount of energy. These properties attributed to the vacuum, which
are universally recognized, strongly support the necessity of a substratum; however,
the substratum as such has been most generally denied and its role ignored, such
that it has not been investigated to the extent it ought to have been.
Ether
space-time & cosmology proposes to fill this gap, and to restore to the ether the attention it deserves. One of the
objectives of this series of books is to progressively disclose its properties.
The introduction of the ether, as a key actor in physical processes, will
resolve a number of paradoxes in 20th century physics, which arose
because it has been dismissed.
This
third volume, like the previous ones, presents articles, written by experienced
physicists, dealing with different aspects of the ether concept. Topics
relating to quantum theory, dark energy and dark matter and review of the basic
assumptions of relativity are addressed, among others.
Ether
space-time & cosmology? is a development of the Physical Interpretations of
Relativity Theory conferences, which began in
