You're asserting that The aether is what waves in terms of wave-particle duality. What you haven't done is to justify this statement. You're assuming that there must be something physical in nature that is undergoing oscillations. That's simply not true. Have you ever actually studied quantum mechanics? It doesn't appear so because in quantum theory the exists having to do with waves is the wave function, not a physical wave. There is nothing in the theory of quantum mechanics that suggests that something is actually waving. The wave function is merely a computational tool which is used to calculate the probability density of a particle and other things. It's a very powerful tool in fact because it contains all the information that anybody would want to know about the system that it's describing. But as I said, it has nothing to do with any physical "waving".
Which is why in de Broglie's double solution theory there are two waves. There is the statistical wave function wave which is used to determine the probabilistic results of experiments and the physical wave which guides the particle.
You can't prove that he was right merely by saying so. In the first place the consensus is overwhelmingly against that theory for very good reasons, reasons you keep ignoring when I post them. In the second place that's a very old paper written in a time when quantum mechanics was young. Things have changed and many experiments have been done which indicate that he's wrong. Also you keep ignoring the meaning of the wave function.
In the second place that's a very old paper written in a time when quantum mechanics was young.
I agree Pete........... It's amusing how people come to our forum quoting outdated material to support their ideas when current experiments has proven such things to be incorrect. These men were giants in their day but knowledge has moved beyond their place in history today. We should always honor these great men of science but also remember that just because, "so and so said" or "such and such was written" don't mean that they were 100% right about everything. Facts will change as new knowledge is gathered and if we don't stay current with the latest science, we might find ourselves in error as well.

I'm talking about the original paper which you're basing it on. I'm not convinced that the papers you quote say what you think they're saying. People who don't have a good grasp of physics often resort to quote mining which means that they look for papers which have words they want and appear to use them to support what they claim. I don't think those papers claim what you claim they do. Have you actually read them in full? Did you understand them 100%.
I'll read them this week some time and contact the authors to see if they mean what you claim they do.
You are going to read the articles before commenting on them further?

There is evidence of the aether every time a double slit experiment is performed; it's what waves.
You can't be serious!!!! That's not the way physics works. You can't use that as proof because you postulated it to explain it. The only evidence that counts are observations made when you used the theory to predict something never before observed. You have a lot to learn about the philosophy of science. And I can't see spending more time with you. There's no point to it. People such as yourself don't come here to learn. They have a pet theory that they want to paste on the forum so that others can admire them for it. It's like a religion in that nothing you can say will make them see that they're wrong regardless of how many holes are in their theory they simply do not have the background in physics to understand the explanations of their mistakes.
Are you able to understand in a boat double slit experiment the boat travels through a single slit even when you close your eyes?Why don't you read the articles.
You're doing it yet again. First off you never answer my question as to why you ask me questions after I say I won't answer anymore questions. That's an odd thing to do. It's like trolling. Then there's the fact that you never answered my question about the problem with that theory in that it implies electrons in atoms should radiate and yet we don't observe that.
What do you have to say for yourself?
