Physics theory came to a crossroads in the late 19th and early twentieth centuries, when its most prominent experimentalists conducted a series of experiments designed to detect an ether medium. (the concept of an ether had previously been generally accepted by all the classical physicists, such as Isaac Newton.)
Probably the best known such experiments were done by Albert Michelson. His first experiment in this area was the Michelson-Morley Experiment of 1887 (MMX) which attempted to demonstrate a "wind effect" which was predicted if an ether exists, because it was thought at the time that, as the earth moves through space, its interaction with the ether would produce an ether "wind," which would be an inertial type of effect observable by observing beams of light and how the path of light is affected in the earth's vicinity, as light is conducted through the ether. It was thought that the ether was stationary with respect to a moving earth, and would necessarily exhibit a wind-like effect, the ether "being a stationary medium" in space, and that the wind effect could be detected by measuring a predicted deflection of the path of light in the MMX, using optical methods. -A null result was obtained, and physicists generally accepted this as proving there is no ether medium in space.
In 1925, another experiment was done, the Michelson-Gale-Pearson Experiment (MGPX), which was designed to investigate whether an "ether drag" effect could be measured. (This was intended to refine the MMX, which looked for a stationary ether, by seeing if a non-stationary ether, which is being "dragged" through space by the earth, could be shown to exist.) By the time of the MGPX in 1925, it was possible to measure the velocity of the rotation of Earth, and by also applying measurements of the Sagnac effect as another experimental refinement, it was believed that a drag-effect ether could be accurately tested for. (In the Sagnac effect, two separate light sources located on the equator of a rotating sphere are observed for any effect on the times of arrival of their light beams by the observer.) -The MGPX also showed a negative result, this time for a drag-effect ether.
By now, Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics were getting firmly established in physics, and the concept of a universal ether was discarded, which has continued to this day.
I have presented a new model, for a universal ether medium in previous threads in this Forum. -In my ether model, the key players are vibrating elemental ether units (originating in an oscillating original space that existed prior to the first appearance of forces), which act via vibration and resonation. These elemental units are uniform in size scale, and resonate linearly with each other, as their outward vibrations form connections. As these elemental ether units resonate, they produce linear entrainments, which in turn produce larger and larger-scale energy units, "etheroidal" units, and further on, up to our observable quantum-scale units.
Previous models of an ether had focused on a presumed fluid-type behavior, based on the wave-forms that are prominently seen with the smallest observable particle systems, such as fermions and bosons.
This area of theory, and the prevailing assumptions about how a possible ether would work, is where my ether model would challenge the view of physics that the experiments of the 19th and 20th century, mentioned above, proved an ether does not exist.
My ether model would have it that the presumptions of the earlier experimental physicists (that observations of the behavior of light beams in our earth's atmosphere are an accurate reflection of how an ether would work near the earth) were wrong.
In my ether model, the Waves we see at the smallest observable scales of energy units actually represent an effect arising from an "ocean" of etheroidal units just as they begin mixing transitionally with the smallest observable quantum scale units (fermionic and bosonic), as a "shoreline" effect.
It must be granted that an ether, like I propose, does have fluid-like properties, especially the wave effect. However, I submit that to assume, as they did, that an ether would solely exhibit fluid behavior, as the ether- investigators did, was a key error, and wrongly dismissed the ether.
The way the ether works in the vicinity of the earth has nothing to do with waves or fluid-like behavior in the atmospheric medium near the earth. Rather, a drag-like effect is produced by the ether entirely via a process involving electrical resonance, between the elemental ether units in the space around the earth, and the (identical) elemental ether units from the earth itself. -Being an effect produced by elemental ether units, this effect would not be detectable by any of our technologies. So physics should not continue automatically assuming an ether does not exist.
-
MichaelMD, it is unnecessary to have an ether. It adds nothing to the knowledge base of physics. If it were to solve outstanding physics issues then that may be a different story. Not one of the 'theories' of the ether posted here have anything new to add and answer no outstanding questions. Why do you think it matters so much?
-
Being an effect produced by elemental ether units, this effect would not be detectable by any of our technologies. So physics should not continue automatically assuming an ether does not exist.
This rather begs the meaning of "existence". We assign existence to those concepts that actually affect us in some way, or have some unique and essential explanatory value. The property of existence can be assigned to anything from a lump of rock to a poltergeist, as long as it does something that can't be ascribed to anything else (most poltergeists turn out to be temporary assignments, but nobody assumes their existence in the absence of flying crockery etc).
Thus a substance that has no effect on any sense or instrument and explains nothing that cannot be explained without it, cannot be said to exist.
-
Although I didn't include it in my Thread, there are phenomena that physicists can't clearly account for with quantum mechanics and relativity. Just one example is quantum entanglement. It is readily and easily explained, using my model for the ether.
So-called quantum entanglement just represents radiated packets of ether energy which have the same vibratory pattern, such as frequency of vibration. Elemental etheric units are the only actual participants in this phenomenon, with the quantum units being kinetically "walled off," like cool "arms" of a quiet purring mechanism.
I claim to have a potential field test designed to elicit a property of the ether, by showing a predicted decrease in densities of materials in the test system. I just lack the capital to do it. If etheric forces can be elicited, they could have useful unique properties.

So basically you are touting for money. Alan asked for the numbers. Without them you will remain short of funds. I would have thought that would be a good motivator to come up with the goods.

The concept of dark energy is inferred from affects. However, dark energy, but can't be proven to physically exist, in the lab. This is sort of the same boat the aether is in. An aether can be inferred from wave affects, but we can't prove the existence of the aether in the lab.
I am not sure why science uses a dual standard, when it comes to dark energy and the aether? The first is called science and the second is called science fiction, even though both use the same inference approach, and both have lab limitations.
The dual standard may have to do with the traditions of physics, and deciding addendum, based on changes that help the traditions evolve, and changes which might cause the traditions to diverge too much.
As an analogy, we have the tradition of Santa Claus at Christmas. It is one thing to change the color of the reindeer, to evolve the tradition, but it is another thing to use moose instead of reindeer. The latter can work, however...., changing the animal may have unintended consequences down the line. Rudolf the red nose moose (moo-ooose) had a very shiny nose, does not have the same clarity or timing in terms of the song. People will complain, so we may need a new song, which will take more funding than everyone wants to provide.
What else can it be, since a dual standard is not rational.
-
The aether has no detected properties. On the other hand dark matter was postulated to explain an observed effect. Namely the accelerated expansion of the universe so there is no dual standard.

The OP describes the demise of aether theories quite well. I have been thinking along those lines for a decade. 8D
The "problem" of no aether drag, is a problem with the "understanding" of matter which suggested that matter "should" drag the aether.
In addition to the "problem" of no aether drag, all the old aether models failed to account for the role of the yet-undiscovered dark energy. I believe all the forces between massive particles result from exchange of momentum between light energy (acoustic-like transverse shear waves in a solid medium) and dark energy (acoustic-like longitudinal pressure waves in that same medium). As far as I know, I am the only person to have ever even suggested that the aether may host both transverse and longitudinal waves. And my description of the nature of dark energy is, to my knowledge, the only description of the fundamental nature of dark energy.
I believe the light carrying medium, aka aether, is also the matter carrying medium. I have described my Fractal Foam Model of Universes, here before. I postulate that matter IS light, and light does not drag its own medium.
A force field is where integrating the dark-energy flux over 4pi steradians yields a non-zero vector. A photon receives more momentum from the direction where the dark-energy flux is stronger.
Fundamental particles of matter consist of orbiting pairs or groups of photons, held together by an as yet undiscovered non-linear force. That force is not radially symmetrical, being a function of both the phase relationship between the photons and the angle between their planes of polarity. The ratio of their energies and wavelengths also figures into the magnitude of the force.
A free photon (not part of a particle) perturbs the flux of dark energy in a pattern which is symmetrical relative to the photon's plane of polarity. Another photon passing close enough may be attracted or repelled by the other photon's perturbation of the dark energy, depending on the angle between the two photons' planes of polarity.
The force which holds a pair of photons together is closely associated with zero-point energy. When two photons enter orbit around one another, they fall into a zero-point energy well, which is similar to a black hole, but not based on gravity.
Einstein's relativity may be derived from the fact that the constituent photons that make up a particle are still moving at the speed of light, but in tiny circles. Accelerating the particle forward (in a given inertial reference frame) increases the energy and momentum of one photon and decreases that of the other photon. For both energy and momentum to be conserved, the particle's momentum must increase as ΔE/c; which is why two photons each having no proper mass may add up to one particle having a proper mass equal to E/c2.
(I should mention that I no longer believe longitudinal aether waves to be billions of times faster than transverse aether waves. I always had an uneasy feeling about that claim, and I never worked out the math for how that would affect my model, anyway. So my model requires some rethinking, though I believe it is still viable in principle.)

The aether has no detected properties. On the other hand dark matter was postulated to explain an observed effect. Namely the accelerated expansion of the universe so there is no dual standard.
There is a unique reference frame in which the microwave background monopole is zero. This is observable evidence of our Sun's velocity relative to the aether, approximately 368 km/s toward Leo.
In my model, the expansion of space is both the source and the destination of dark energy. I don't want to go into too much detail about that, here, except to say that the aether has a foamy structure below the Planck scale; more bubbles equal more space; expansion of the foam pops the bubbles and radiates dark-energy pressure waves; but all that takes place in backwards time in a smaller-scale universe whose cosmic foam is our aether foam. From our point of view, in this universe, dark energy pressure waves converge to a point where they cause an aether-foam bubble to un-pop, absorbing dark energy rather than emitting it.
-
Just to say that if Phractality wanted to post his own model of the aether, he should have opened his own thread. That way, we would not each be distracting the readers from focusing on one model at a time.

Most of the responses to the proposal that an aether might indeed exist, are met with stereotypical answers that are trotted out, in most cases without the person even bothering to read the ‘pros’ and ‘cons’ of the arguments being advanced. Given below are some typical examples:
..MichaelMD, it is unnecessary to have an ether. It adds nothing to the knowledge base of physics. If it were to solve outstanding physics issues then that may be a different story. Not one of the 'theories' of the ether posted here have anything new to add and answer no outstanding questions. Why do you think it matters so much?..

Why on earth someone should believe that people will come up with a picture of the ether that no-one can detect and that has no possible value is incredible. The poster seems to be so satisfied with the existing state of affairs and so confident that his theory has an explanation for every possible contingency that it is impossible for him to see beyond those self- set limits EVEN though the theory he is is so confident about might be enormously deficient in several key areas. By now these objections are fairly well known and cracks are beginning to appear in both the theory and the confidence. A typical instance of this seems to be the very different answers that a post like this receives (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=3505.0). Such answers would have been unheard of at one time.

If McQueen wants to specify those key areas, where my model for the aether is deficient, I'd be willing to debate these with him.
The criticisms of the model so far in this Thread have not dealt in any specifics.

I'll give my reply to this point of criticism, as to the existence of an underlying ether matrix, which raises a question on how my Model would explain dark matter and the observations of accelerating expansion of the universe.
My model would attribute the expansion of our universe, to my proposal, that our universe is gradually approaching ever closer to another, younger, "stronger," universe, whose forces are pulling on the outermost bodies of our universe, and that this is what accounts for the observations of acceleration of those bodies.
So with my ether model, there would be no need to bring in the theory of a sort of undiscovered "dark," negative, form of energy, to account for the acceleration and expansion.
This concept, of a pending "collision" of two universes, would be analogous in every way to the proven observations of two galaxies colliding. (Such collisions need not be catastrophic, due in part to the fact that large cosmic systems are separated by such great distances of space, on the order of light years apart.)

I had merely quoted your statement and the responses it elicited, I did not mean to imply that your theory was deficient, b'cos i have not as yet studied it in any detail.

The Michelson-Morley experiment looked for an absolutely stationary space the Earth moved through. The aether is not an absolutely stationary space. The aether is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

"Think of waves on the surface of water. Here we can describe two entirely different things. Either we may observe how the undulatory surface forming the boundary between water and air alters in the course of time; or else-with the help of small floats, for instance - we can observe how the position of the separate particles of water alters in the course of time. If the existence of such floats for tracking the motion of the particles of a fluid were a fundamental impossibility in physics - if, in fact nothing else whatever were observable than the shape of the space occupied by the water as it varies in time, we should have no ground for the assumption that water consists of movable particles. But all the same we could characterise it as a medium."
if, in fact nothing else whatever were observable than the shape of the space occupied by the aether as it varies in time, we should have no ground for the assumption that aether consists of particles which can be individually tracked through time. But all the same we could characterise it as a medium having mass which is displaced by the particles of matter which exist in it and move through it.

To summarize my picture of the ether. -The key players are the elemental ether units. They constitute an immensely-over-riding sea of uniform, matching, elemental units that interact perfectly-linearly, as their outward vibrations form transient connections with each other. -All other energy processes, such as the quantum-scale energic processes that make up our observable world, are superimposed upon this over-riding elemental ether. -This accounts readily for a phenomenon like quantum entanglement, in which radiated packets of elemental ether units having the same vibratory pattern, such as a matching frequency, resonate with the elemental components of quantum particles. The elemental ether units are the only actual participants in Q.E., with the observed quantum units being kinetically "walled off."
The "waves" we observe at our quantum level of observation just represent an effect produced as an "ocean" of etheroidal units just begin mixing transitionally with obervable quantum units, such as bosons and fermions, as a "shoreline" effect. -The etheroidal units are ocean-like vastly more prevalent than atomic-scale quantum units, but even the etheroidal units are insignificant compared to the over riding elemental ether.
-
What I would like to point out, as to the believability of my Ether Model, is the incontrovertible fact that it is the only theory, of any type, quantal or etheric, out there, that can rationally account for Quantum Entanglement.
Previously I have given a model for the logical origin of this kind of elemental ether which is made up of uniform, matching, elemental, ether units that comprise an underlying matrix for other forces, such as the quantum forces that constitute our observable world.
Since the ether units are elemental and uniform, the type of resonances they form, as their outward vibrations form connections with each other, are perfectly linear - unlike processes we observe in the quantum world, which involve spin, space-vectors, waves, and the like.
Formation of the orderly systems existing in the cosmos would have to have involved an underlying linearity, such as in my model of the ether.
As ether units interact linearly with each other, the process would include the formation of larger units, such as "etheroidal," and still-larger, units, on up to quantum and atomic - scale units.
In Quantum Entanglement, radiated packets of etheric energy which have the same vibratory pattern, including matching frequency, are the only actual participants. The quantum units being observed in the phenomenon are themselves kinetically "walled off." The underlying process involves elemental ether units forming vibrational connections, which includes their connections with the elemental ether units that are the "building blocks" of the observed quantum units.
The process of Quantum Entanglement should be thought of as the quantum units representing the cool ("linearity cool") "arms" of a quiet, purring, vibratory, underlying ether-mechanism that can turn itself on and off, by itself, at any time.
-
Why on earth someone should believe that people will come up with a picture of the ether that no-one can detect and that has no possible value is incredible.
The problem is that the Aether exists and is detected. It is the gravitational field itself. this is composed of spherical patterns of dot-waves that constantly move and adjust themselves at the speed of light C. Thus the aether of the Earth is always interacting with the aether of the sun. Light waves and photons travel upon the gravitational aether. There is no stationary aether which would look like a checkerboard upon which the universe exists. We have moving electromagnetic and gravitational (photonic fields) in constant motion correcting themselves at the speed of light C. To say there is no aether is wrong. We have an aether but it is not stationary.
-
-A null result was obtained, and physicists generally accepted this as proving there is no ether medium in space.
All it proved was that there is no stationary ether in space. Gravitational energy flows out of the visible universe and this produces an ether which moves with the planets and stars adjusting itself in steps at light speed C.Thus the Earth produces a constant gravitational wave as does the sun and all other objects in the universe including a lowly proton.

jerrygg38,
If you wanted to describe your own theories about aether, you should have opened your own thread.
My Thread was at a point where posters would reply to my claim of how my aether model can account for Quantum Entanglement, which was where your description of a whole different model of the aether cut in. It's been called hijacking someone else's thread.

I don't consider my complaint to have been picayune. Quantum Entanglement (Q.E.) is a major mystery in Science.
In 1935 Einstein took note of this effect and called it "spooky action at a distance." Because of it, he called into question the very foundations of quantum mechanics, an opinion he never really changed.
Today, there is no theoretic model of any kind that accounts for Q.E. rationally and in detail, not in relativity theory, not in quantum mechanics, and up to now not ether theory either.
My ether model presents a neat and concise explanation for Q.E. The idea is that Ether basically consists of a matrix of elemental ether units which, being elemental, are matching and uniform, and that these units are in a state of constant vibratory resonance with each other, as their outward vibrations form loose connections. Such resonances would be perfectly linear, and would be what would account for the build up of larger energic units, up to the observed quantum-scale units which make up our atomically-structured world.
The ether-scale resonances occur between the elemental units themselves, and also include their resonances with the elemental "building blocks" that quantum units are made up of. In Q.E., the so-called "entangled" quantum units are, themselves, kinetically walled off, representing "cool arms" of a quiet, purring ether mechanism that can turn itself on and off, by itself, at any time.
Again, I think this model merits serious, close, careful consideration

Sounds interesting. Can you explain the Q.E. problem in a few words. right now it appears to me that you have a distribution of homogeneous building blocks that will tend to combine into the protons and electrons of our existence. I guess your model has the creation of these building blocks as space and time compresses.
Thus the universe precipitates protons and electrons which are the same mass initially and then the proton wins the battle and takes over the center position. To me that is a possibility but am I understanding what you say correctly?
-
If you are going to use behaviors of quantum units to judge the ether model for Q.E., I can't help, because the quantal systems that protons and electrons are incorporated into are basically different from my model for the ether. In my ether model, the key process is the vibrational resonances of elemental ether units, units which are uniform and interact perfectly linearly, so that, for example, the thermodyanmic effects observed at the level of quantum forces are absent. The mechanisms in quantum processes, such as spin, space vectors, non-matching units, wave effects, and so on, make it impossible to correlate protons, electrons, and such units with ether dynamics.
Quantum Mechanics theory tries to explain Q.E. entirely on the basis of quantal dynamics, which produces a disconnect with my ether model for Q.E., at the most basic level.
If you want to study what the quantum theories are doing to try to explain Q.E., you would want to read up on Bell's inequality Theorem, and the latest experiments on new methods of measuring certain properties of the quantum units in Q.E., especially the latest ones using clever ways of separating the measuring instruments to avoid introducing confounding variables.
But I don't believe quantum theory will ever come up with a coherent model for Q.E. I feel certain my ether model is the correct one.
-
jerrygg38,
To answer the part of your question about how the ether produces larger units, like protons and electrons, I'll go into details about my model's viewpoint also.
In my model of the ether, the elemental ether units resonate linearly in such a way that their outward vibrations form loose connections between the elemental units. Such connections usually produce resonances forming entrainments, extending over distances, and along which energic impulses can travel electrically.
However, these resonance processes are not invariably the same, and can also produce aggregate entrainments forming larger energy units - "etheroidal" units, and on up, to the quantum scale units such as protons and electrons.
If you want to study the question of how etheric and etheroidal units may interact with quantum systems, I'd suggest reading up on Quasiparticles. Quasiparticles are produced in unusual experimental setups, and are observed as puzzling changes that occur to bosons (like electrons) and fermions. The puzzling moieties produced under such experimental conditions are termed "quasiparticles" when they involve changes to bosons, and when fermions are involved, it is referred to as a "state of elevated excitation."
I believe the quasiparticle phenomenon represents "etheroidal" units "escaping" their normal ether/vibrational setting and emerging suddenly and puzzlingly into our observable quantum setting.

I consider myself to be an expert re the rectangular pipeline vacuum MGPX. This did not show a null or negative result. It showed the expected Sagnac fringeshift (as predicted~explained by Silberstein). Unfortunately as explained by Silberstein both aether & Einsteinian theories explain the Sagnac fringeshift found by Michelson, whereas if the fringeshift had been less then this would indicate an aether drag (ie it would indicate an aether), which is what Michelson had hoped for, hencely the MGPX did not prove anything much one way or another.
Except that it did prove an aether. And it seems that only me myself knows. I will start a thread one day to explain.

In my Ether Model, the key error made by Michelson, Morley, and the others who used optical measurements to detect an ether, was that they had falsely assumed that any kind of ether would have to be acting as an energically- inert "carrying" medium for light (photon transmissions.) -Whereas, in my ether model, the ether acts via vibrational resonances between elemental ether units. (Although it does also happen to act as a physical "medium" through which larger units like photons pass, through transmission "channels.") The vibratory resonances also extend from the elemental ether units to the much-larger energy units such as quantum units and photons. (Although we observe light via the photons, resonating with quantum/atomic energy systems such as our eyes, and although these energy effects occur via other kinds of mechanisms involving vectors, and spin effects, there still remains a very fundamental major other energy process going on which is the vibratory resonances that the elemental ether units are exerting upon the photons. -The photons, like everything else in the world, are ultimately made up of the elemental ether units.) -This fundamental vibratory electrical effect is the "other" force acting upon light transmission that the nineteenth and early twentieth century optical experiments failed to include. So in my Ether Model, those experiments, which physics to this day rely on to dismiss the theory of an ether, were using a false assumption which invalidated their null results for the existence of an ether.

As a new theory, where is the thrust of conversation that makes contemporary science alerted to something really important? What is the key point?

If your aether is dynamic then it too should give a fringeshift in an MMX -- & if your aether is fixed, with Earth spinning & orbiting throo it, then here it too should give a fringeshift. The only way it wouldnt give a fringeshift is if it were dragged 100% along & around with Earth. So i dont see how your aether could nullify an MMX (or an MGPX)(or a SagnacX).

The basic idea of my ether model is that the ether is a universal matrix which acts via vibratory contact, or resonance, between a pair of elemental ether units, and between an elemental unit band a larger unit such as a photon. (This would be the most rational model to explain Quantum Entanglement, for example.)
There would not be any direct correlation between the ether and the kinds of observations you cite, which arise from quantum energy systems, which operate via different dynamics, involving vectors and spin mechanisms. -Etheric forces are simple and act linearly. You can't observe their dynamics directly, because the ether is so rarified that we don't detect them directly by observation. Their effects can only be observed indirectly, such as by observing an etheric effect, such as levitation.

Yes & no. For a fringeshift in say an MMX all u need is some photons moving along in some lawful way, & i daresay that your ether & my aether & others all allow photons to exist & to move along albeit by virtue of perhaps very different micro-effects but probably according to very similar laws, hencely an MMX in ether should be similar to an MMX in aether etc, unless your ether duznt allow photons to have waves or your ether allows photons to have variable speeds etc.

mad aetherist,
Your and my models of an ether differ. -As an example, the way you referred to "waves," as a thing or property photons "have," differs from how waves are seen in my ether model.
In my model, elemental ether units interact through vibratory resonance between themselves, or between elemental ether units and a larger unit such as a photon. Photons themselves act to transmit the light we visualize, via field, vector, spin, and such quantal energic mechanisms, familiar to quantum physics. However, in my model, again, there is what can be called a "cutoff" zone, where etheric-type vibratory energy transitions to the quantal type of energy. This "zone" is where a vast "sea" of etheric vibratory units gradually are transitioning to the quantal world of energic dynamics, where photons and other quantum units interact via their own (non-vibratory) mechanisms. This transition zone is viewed, in my model, as where what we see as "waves" represent a "shoreline" effect, where a sea of ether units are transitioning to quantal units.
In my model, that ether world, of perfectly-linear vibrational energy, is not perceptible to us, because it is so rarified we can't detect it directly. -One observation might be mentioned that indirectly demonstrates how the more-fundamental ether form of energy does interact with our quantum/atomic world, would be Quantum Entanglement. -In my model, quantum entanglement represents radiated packets of etheric energy which have the same vibratory pattern. Elemental ether units are the only actual participants in this phenomenon, with the "entangled" quantum units being kinetically "walled off," like cool "arms" of a quiet, purring, universal, ether mechanism.
I claim this is the only rational way to account for quantum entanglement.

I dont know what to think re quantum entanglement. Jean de Climont has some good articles & youtube stuff.
I think electrons do strange things. Ivor Catt has some good articles & youtube stuff re fields & electricity & this.

My model of quantum entanglement rests on the portion of my model, on how the ether originated, and how elemental ether units arose from a universal oscillation of point-localities. The resulting ether was thus the first energic "actor" of all, and universal. Therefore, the elemental ether units had to be the basic ingredients of everything from then on, including quantum units which later might become "entangled." That is why, in quantum entanglement, radiated packets of elemental ether units would be vibrationally resonant with entangled quantum units. This resonance would also be vibratory, and perfectly linear, rather than by quantal types of resonance involving fields, vectors, spin, waves, and so on.
Again, I claim this is the only rational model of quantum entanglement.

My vibratory-ether-in-a-universal-ether-matrix Model is the only rational model for explaining quantum entanglement. A vibratory-type resonance acting amidst its surrounding matrix, composed of fundamental, elemental, etheric-energy units, represents the only possible explanation. Vibratory resonances are perfectly linear, whereas (so-called) explanations using standard quantum mechanics theory all use quantum forces, which involve fields, waves, vectors, spin, and so on. There is no way those models can account for this phenomenon.
I claim quantum entanglement involves radiated packets of etheric energy having the same vibratory pattern. The "entangled" pair of quantum units are composed of identical elemental ether units, that also make up the surrounding ether matrix, which accounts for the perfect connection of the quantum units.

My Ether Model might become more readily understood by a capsule summary of the essential points. A basic key to the Model is the question of how quantum forces are actually transmitted.
The Model's basic idea is that there exists a universal ether matrix composed of identical, elemental, units, which interact with each other via contact vibrations, and that the familiar quantum forces we see, like electricity and light, are actually being underpinned by these more-primary ether forces. All our energy transmissions, such as electricity and light, are instigated by the underlying ether forces, via different kinds (differentially-resonant) of vibratory patterns.
In the case of light, quantum units like photons are viewed not as solid particles the way physics would have it, but rather as "particle-capacity" units made up of the aforementioned elemental ether units. The photons we observe are generated along a transmission such as light, by being built up from elemental ether units. (In my Model, going back to a "first causal" universal oscillation, which transitioned to a universal vibrational ether, these elemental ether units are the building blocks of everything - including photons.) When energy is present as a source of light, the ether units that are present in the area begin to align, entrain, and form other ether linkages, producing larger energy units, up to the size-scale of photons.
Photons, of course, are what our atomically-structured eyes require to produce our vision, but the primary underlying forces of the light transmission are etheric. The ether units generate photons all along the transmission pathway of light. (Some of the photons may also be dissipated as part of this process.)
