Comments on: Does the Aether Exist? Hint: No

Excuse me but what exactly is the medium upon which electromagnetic energy and photons travel ? These questions can still not be sufficiently answered and until the true nature of the time-space fabric is really known (because if it was ‘nothing’ then there would be no way for particles or waves to move). Until it is solved eerything else is purely philosopical speculation. Even what gravity is is not really understood so to say an ‘aether’ isn’t there is about as valid as saying ‘gravity is there’ even though we know how it affects things etc. but not really what it is made of or how it causes attraction between masses.

In the moment immediately after the Big Bang why did some particles ‘ Slow down and crate Mass while others continue at the created speed?

If you imagine space or the aether being created inside of matter, you can imagine it being created compressed since space already exists. Now imagine that space becomes less compressed or expands as it leaves matter. Compressed space means that more places exist in and around matter for quarks and photons to move toward. That becomes a basis for the attraction of gravity. Compressed space also requires that things take a longer interval of time to move a specified distance thus you have time dilation within gravity. Take space now as it decompresses while moving outward toward the outer edges of galaxies, it becomes somewhat repulsive to matter and supplies the necessary force to keep the galaxy in formation. That is the basis for dark matter. Space continues to move and decompress into the voids between galaxies and now you can imagine the reason for dark energy. The trouble with the Michelson-Morley experiment is that they expected to find a flow of space as the Earth moved through the fixed aether instead they should have looked for a flow from the Earth.

If you are an observer in the middle of the interferometer, what is happening? Are the distances to the mirrors pulsating when the plate is rotating?

” Do you have an actual picture of “your universe” that isn’t composite or computer generated?”
“I want some proof of it.”

As if You were able to distinguish between proof and fiction. You’ve already proven your total lack of understanding when it comes to science and epistemology.

ooooooooo

“Dude, please help my out with a free burger, I’m so hungry and have no money!”
“I need proof! So send me pictures of your hunger and lack of money.”

Which scientist have claimed that “we have determined how the universe works conclusively”?

The only claim I have ever heard of from scientists concerning the currently accepted theories is that after many many different experiments all around the globe they haven’t been falsified, and are therefore considered valid and acceptable.

On the other hand, conspiracy nuts’ claims almost always circle around ‘absolute truth’, often derived from Scripture. (Doh, it’s the word of god. How can that not be the absolute truth?)

“Just a quick revisit to basic physics… [utter nonsense about flying aircraft]”
How about a train ride and throwing up a ball perpendicular to the ground while the train is in full motion and watching the ball falling straight down instead of flying towards the rear end of the train?

How about realizing that the atmosphere is moving along with the earth?

Is it human ego or something else, that we keep concluding that scientific theories are proven conclusively time and again? How many times has this happened in history? For centuries, it was “concluded” that the Earth is in the center of the universe. It was then “concluded” that the sun is in the center and the planets revolved around it. Then it was “concluded” that the sun and the planets revolve around the center of the galaxy, which is one among innumerable galaxies in a supposedly infinite universe. Now we seem to be moving towards concluding that there are multiple parallel universes.

Aren’t we like ticks on the back of the elephant, or the bacteria inside, cocksure that that know how the world works, from their limited vantage point.

The displayed by the scientific community across the ages is amazing! Forget humans, Earth is not even the size of a pin head in comparison with Milky Way Galaxy, leave alone the universe. From such a ultra-microscopic vantage point, we have determined how the universe works conclusively? I am not sure we have learnt all about Earth, or the solar system, leave alone the galaxy or universe. So give me a break, as you all sound like loons in a cult.

Brian Koberlein; Again, I’m not really interested in what you purport to study, I want some proof of it. If you can’t stop gushing about it, then it’s probably a good idea to put up or pucker up. I’m sure that If you’re married and love your wife as you love your this glorious outer space of yours you’d surely freeze it in a picture and frame it upon your wall or upon your desk. There are thousands of telescopes, cameras and compositely generated pictures of this “universe” and yet no real-life live pictures of it? That must suck! Or it’s a crappy hoax which only those without the benefit of an independent intellect must believe in these days …

The experiments listed in the article have been repeated numerous times. Michelson interferometers are pretty common in undergrad physics labs. I did have to measure the speed of light in my undergraduate work, and in my graduate work I had to work through the details of both special and general relativity. So does nearly every student who studies relativity…

and I suppose you were there to make these measurements other than just using Circular thinking to prove anything
