My view on Ether

Arguments on ether may begin with carryover of Pre-Newtonian concept of space as extension of matter. Cartesian physics considered everything extended to be corporeal, thus rejecting the idea of empty space. Observation of interference and diffraction of light made some theoretician to relate light with sound. In parallel to this, conservation of energy led to unify kinetic energy, heat, light and sound to be collectively and inter-convertibly called energy.

As sound can not travel without a medium, it was argued by some theoreticians that a medium is required for light to travel. However, light travels through space devoid of any matter. For space to act as a medium for propagation of light a host of properties shall be assigned to space. Considering the fact the value of these properties are unreasonable and sound does not propagate through space, it was a dead concept at the origin it-self. So ether as an all prevailing medium concept was dead at birth. But as usual, in human nature, we prefer not to be negative in our conversations. This makes different thought processes co-exist in a given period of time. The ether concept continued to exist for some time. The argument in favour of ether was a possibility of providing it a unique characteristic of being at absolute rest. (Though, absolute rest was not defined clearly). In terms of Newtonian frame of reference, it was seen as a universal reference frame that assigns each object a value in each of three dimensions of space representing rate of change of position. This association ether with absolute rest was turned down by Michelson-Morley experiment. This was as big an effort as recent discovery of Higgs-Bosons. The proposed defining characteristic of ether at absolute rest was negated by observations by in 1887 by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley. So ether as a concept similar to a medium that is essential for sound waves died as a result of Michelson-Morley experiment.

During the time interval between Newton (& Galileo) to Einstein, science was in formative state. From flat earth, to universe with sun as center to doing away with any preferential location or reference was completed in this period. This purified concept of space from all the baggage it carried due to limitations of human intuition and observations.

In PicoPhysics, we define realities of Knergy and Space as host realities for two opposite concepts. Knergy of Konservation and space is antidote to Konservation. The unary law 'Space contains Knergy' describes the interaction between the two.

Fifth Dimension of universe

In PicoPhysics we can establish only three dimensions of space. So space has only three dimensions. There is no fourth or fifth dimension of space. Let us consider what a dimension means. Dimension is one of the observable aspect of reality. The universe includes both Space and Knergy. While Space has 3-Dimensions, Knergy has 2-Dimensions. This gives the universe its five dimensions.

Science also deals with degrees of freedoms in relation of dimensions. Though universe has five dimensions, the degree of freedom is less than four. The dimension of Time, is maps conformal to space dimension in drift direction. The dimension of energy is less than one, since it does not allow for negative values. Thus degrees of freedom are at best four for universe.

Thanks Peter,

I read about Yukawa potential (in Wikipedia) that introduces an exponential decay term that creates a cut off. PicoPhysics has no opinion on the same.

In view of PicoPhysics (infinite - maths part) a reality that is measured with a number of third infinite order, can not be spanned by another reality that is linear. (This is also the reason for space to have 3-dimensions.)

This essay may be languishing - since I don't belong to the community organizing this competition. I am thankful to them, for the plate form they provided to me to air my views on nature.

I am satisfied that I have been able to understand nature based on a single statement 'Space Contains Matter'. 5-Dimensional universe can be seen as a corollary of the same. By the way, in PicoPhysics even the 3-dimensions of space are proved as corollary to unary law 'Space contains matter'. So are manu other concepts that are taken as facts from human intuition are established starting teh logic from Unary law 'Space Contains Matter'.

(I have re-worded the Unary law from Space Contains Energy' since I wrote this essay).

Thanks and best regards,

Dear James,

It is heartening to note that you read my article in fair details. I experience lot of problems with language and choice of words. As you rightly noted, in PicoPhysics we are attempting to understand the nature a fresh.

We donot have words with suitable meaning in contemporary language. I tried to minimize the same, by explaining the power words in the beginning like Host Reality etc. Some existing words and phrases are used like 'SPACE'. They are used since, the message conveyed keeps it's meaning in-tact when we use the word. I could not use the word ENERGY in place of KNERGY. Now I found the word 'MATTER' may be used.

So when I use the word 'OBJECT' it is in linguistic sense here. Otherwise OBJECTS play a critical role in PICO-PHYSICS when we look at various steps that constitute an observation. (I have an article on the same at picophysics.org). In the article attempt has been made to bring out importance of observer at par with object. They are grouped into categories such as Internal, External and Independant.). In this essay it was not the intention to bring in the consideration of Object & Observations. It was meant to remain slightly abstract on this front.

But mathematics is a science of symbols (numerals) raised to the level of abstraction by removing unit from quantitative observation. When such removed from realty, mathematics handles them independent of real words objects, like objects themselves. This is what I meant to convey - may be language and words used were not appropriate.

Now, when we talk about relativity, in PicoPhysics it is a very minor outcome of logic, since invariance is incorporated in unary law 'Space Contains Matter' itself. The more significant outcomes are - explain the formation and life cycle of matter as we know it. Let me explain essence of PicoPhysics sequence MATTER CYCLE'. Knergy is Konserved. It is contained in SPACE. To contain Knergy - dimensions of space need be 3-dimensional. The space by itself has to have a possibility to possess Knergy without which it does not exist. For whole of space to have a possibility to possess Knergy, three processes of possession and de-possession of Knergy by space are required.

The dynamics of the universe are now explained as controlled by these three processes. 5-dimensional universe is an article coming out of that dynamics.

MATTER CYCLE: Knergy gets to a confined state (Particles). These particles act as sinks of space, that forces them together to form complex particles ultimately leading to heavier objects. These objects finally decay into energy (photons). These photons cool down as they travel into CBR - cosmic background radiations. These cosmic background radiations finally merge into dark matter - original state of Knergy from which matter is formed.

With this understanding, Pico-Physics is not in agreement with theories based on transient universe (Big Bang or otherwise).

Electromagnetic and other observations are also explained with in framework of interaction between Space and Knergy governed by Unary law in Pico-Physics. They are integrated as the properties of partcles formed out of Knergy. In this sense full quantum and nuclear physics is included as properties of matter formed out of Konserved Knergy.

I invite you to google words 'picophysics' or 'vmguptaphy' to see more info about picophysics if time and interest in my discussions.

Goodmorning Dear Vladimir F. Tamari,

Thanks for your comments. I followed your link, and would like to express my thanks to you to point the same to me.

PicoPhysics is not based on Ether - since the concept of ether was based on propogation of disturbance (and energy causing it) in space. While KAMBHAR of PicoPhysics signifies the Non-Konserved nature of Space. It is not different from space itself.

So in PICOPHYSICS the third reality KAMBHAR is reflection of SPACE itself and introduced to keep the argument in line with human perceptions.

Thnaks and Best Regard,

Vijay Gupta

Dear James,

In PicoPhysics, we are concerned with all aspect of nature including human intuition and experiences. We classify the observation steps into 7 categories and measurement into two - comparative and associative measurements. To understand the PicoPhysics logic that assigns 3-dimensions to space, the measurement process deployed is associative; with space (A reality) being associated with Knergy (another reality) as per Unary law.

This is added here for the purpose of record and those who may be inquisitive to understand the origin of all 5-dimensions of nature.

The three of the dimensions attributed to space are proved to be Euclidean separately.
