" The ether
In Greek antiquity, the Greek scientists and philosophers believed that nature only counted four elements; earth, water, fire and air.
The atoms were believed to be the building blocks of these four elements of the universe. Aristotle added the fifth element ether and postulated that planets and stars were made of this ether. Greek philosopher Plato, 350 years B.C., described these five elements and added that matter is created from the five Platonic solids that he described in his book Timaeus.
He equated the tetrahedron with the element fire, the cube with the earth, the icosahedron with water, the octahedron with air and the dodecahedron with the ether, the stuff of the planets and stars.
We now know of course that there are far more elements in nature than the ones known in Greek antiquity. However, it is a well-known fact that the Platonic solids play a role in chemistry as the internal organization structures of molecules in many materials. For instance the Platonic solids show up in the organization of molecules of natural crystals.
Here we will present a new theory about matter that agrees with Plato that the atoms are constructed from the Platonic solids.
Some scientists now believe that the ether is a subtle energy that flows through all material things like some liquid, creating the material world from it. The Platonic solids are believed to be the geometrical internal structures of the atom. That's the reason why sacred geometry is so important in this new ether theory.
In the 19th century the luminiferous ether was well accepted by science! It was the medium through which the electromagnetic wave was supposed to propagate. In those days physicists believed that matter and the ether were two separate things.
The ether served as the carrier medium for radiant energies such as light and was believed to transmit force fields between material objects in the universe such as gravity.
James Clerk Maxwell, the founder of electrodynamics and his contemporaries didn't have any doubt that the ether existed.
However in 1887 Albert Michelson and Edward Morley conducted an experiment to prove the existence of the ether.
At the time light was thought to be a compression wave that propagated as a longitudinal wave through the motionless and stationary ether, just like sound waves through the air. While the Earth itself is spinning, the Earth must have a relative motion with respect to the motionless ether.
They reasoned that when the speed of light is measured on the surface of the Earth, it should give different results when measured clockwise or counter clockwise with respect to the rotation of the Earth around its axis. However the Michelson Morley experiment proved that the speed of light had the same constant value no matter in what direction the speed of light was measured. From this experiment it was concluded that the ether did not exist.
Physics has abandoned the ether theory ever since. However today scientists believe that the results of the Michaelson-Morley experiment have been misinterpreted.
So now after a hundred years the ether is back in physics. In the new emerging physics, the Newtonian particles and quantum mechanical particle/wave duality is abandoned. In new ether physics there are only waves!
The ether is the medium of the electromagnetic waves and it is assumed that the ether is a non-material fluid-like medium, a subtle energy substance that permeates the entire universe. It is a well known fact that waves require a medium to wave in: without a medium, sorry there can be no waves. Sound requires the air. For water waves it is the water that waves.
But for some unexplainable reason ever since the Michaelson-Morley experiment supposedly disproved the existence of the ether, physics accepted the fact that electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space without any medium at all.
How absurd, if there is no medium, then what is waving? How is light to propagate as a wave phenomenon if there is nothing to propagate in?
Physics accepted that light could travel through absolute nothingness only because the Michaelson-Morley experiment had failed to prove the existence of the ether.
An astonishing premise of the revived ether physics is that there is no dualism, no distinction between a material and immaterial thing; it's all energy since energy is all there is! Matter is not a fundamental property of the universe; it is the form not the substance that shapes matter.
Now we finally can take Einstein's famous formula E=m x c˛, one step further and really start to understand what this formula implied! It is not that energy and matter can be interchanged; no, matter = energy, period!
In this sense matter is an illusion of solidness and separateness.
Eastern spiritual traditions have always claimed that our world is Maya, illusionary.
What they meant by this is that separateness does not exist; there is only the unity at the fundamental level of existence, the unity of Brahman. Now we may see Eastern wisdom corroborated by modern day science!
This is how ether physics is best described:
Our universe is multi dimensional and it is made of one substance and one substance only! This substance is called ether and it is a vibrating fluid-like energy that permeates the physical vacuum.
Matter as we know it is created moment by moment as a standing wave, a vortex in the physical vacuum. It is the condensed center of these vortexes that creates the illusion of a separate particle.
All matter in the universe is interconnected since the particle fields extend to the far corners of the universe."
