Ether Space Time & Cosmology volume 3: Physical Vacuum, Relativity and Quantum Physics

The'Ether space-time & cosmology'program comprises several volumes designed to inform the physics community about the resurgence of ether in modern science. Research in the past 20 years has confirmed the existence of physical properties in space, even where it is devoid of ordinary matter. In addition to the well-known properties of permittivity, permeability and ability to transmit electromagnetic waves, other features have been discovered more recently. These include the Casimir Effect and a significant amount of energy. The necessity of ether is not questioned today even by those who pretend to do so but do not hesitate to attribute qualities to the vacuum. Ether theory plays a creative role, even if given different names: vacuum, fundamental plenum or cosmic substratum. Ether space-time & cosmology is a development of the Physical Interpretations of Relativity Theory conferences, which began in 1988 in London and are now held in London, Moscow, Calcutta and Budapest.

The necessity of ether is not questioned today even by those who pretend to do so but do not hesitate to attribute qualities to the vacuum. Ether theory plays a creative role, even if given different names: (vacuum, fundamental plenum or cosmic substratum) The introduction of the ether as a key actor in physical processes, will resolve a number of paradoxes in 20th century physics, which arose because it has been dismissed. This third volume, like the previous ones, presents articles, written by experienced physicists, dealing with different aspects of the ether concept. Topics relating to quantum theory, dark energy and dark matter and a review of the basic assumptions of relativity are addressed, among others. Content: v. 1. Modern ether concepts, relativity and geometry. -- v. 2. New insights into a key physical medium. -- v. 3. Physical vacuum, relativity and quantum physics.
