New Theories / Re: What if an aether existed ......?

In space, we do see a sea of photons - it is variously called the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR) or Sunlight, depending on its spectrum and source.

The CMB is a cosmic background radiation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_background_radiation

Quote
Cosmic background radiation is electromagnetic radiation

I am not referring to photons traveling at 'c'. I am referring to the sea of photons which fill 'empty' space analogous to the H2O molecules which fill the oceans.

It is the sea of photons filling 'empty' space which are displaced by the particles of matter the Earth consists of. It is the sea of photons displaced by the Earth pushing back and exerting pressure toward the Earth which is gravity.

New Theories / Does spacetime have mass?
« on: 11/05/2016 00:25:34 »
If spacetime has mass, physically occupies three dimensional space and is displaced by matter are Einstein's gravitational wave and de Broglie's wave of wave-particle duality both waves in it?

Does spacetime having mass relate general relativity and quantum mechanics?

If spacetime has mass is the "missing mass" the mass of the spacetime connected to and neighboring the matter which is displaced by the matter?

If spacetime has mass is the state of displacement of the spacetime the physical manifestation of curved spacetime?

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: How does Hawking's radiation helps in figuring out "the theory of everything"?
« on: 08/05/2016 21:38:02 »
Can you explain to me how, "The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether" is interpreted to mean there is no such thing as an ether? Is the issue with the term?

Let's make up a new term in order to start fresh. I will label the mass which fills 'empty' space which is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it the 'rehtea'.

I think it's safe to say after over 30 years and more than a billion dollars and there being zero evidence of WIMPs we can move beyond that incorrect notion. If you want to continue to believe in something that billions of dollars and decades have been spent looking for with zero evidence of it then that is your choice.

I'm going to take it a step further and say that the whole notion of dark matter as a clump of stuff that travels with the matter is incorrect.

Rehtea has mass, physically occupies three dimensional space and is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

The "missing mass" is the mass of the rehtea which is connected to and neighbors the matter which is displaced by the matter.

The Milky Way's halo is lopsided due to the matter in the Milky Way moving through and displacing the rehtea, analogous to a submarine moving through and displacing the water.

New Theories / Re: What makes the idea of an aether so attractive?

Virtual particles never leave the confines of a Feynman diagram. Can you please explain to us dolts why that is McQueen?

Not according to Laurence Krauss. Kruass says 'empty' space is a sea of virtual photons, with mass, popping into and out of existence out of nothing. What Krauss fails to realize is that what he thinks of as virtual particles, with mass, popping into and out of existence out of nothing is actually the chaotic nature of the mass which fills 'empty' space. In the following video, at the 1:52 mark, is a visual representation of the mass which exists in the proton unoccupied by the quarks. Where the quarks exist the mass has been displaced.
