AWT is invalid because:

1. It violates the Ives-Stilwell experiment. Zephir, the proponent of AWT would not and could not demonstrate that AWT passes Ives-Stilwell

2. Zephir would not and could not show the calculations how AWT passes :

a. Michelson-Morley
b. Kennedy-Thorndike
c. Pound-Rebka
c. The light bending by massive objects

Until Zephir shows his calculations, AWT remains null and void, an invalid theory.

At the first glance, thank you for creating the special forum, dedicated to review of AWT. I consider each the critique and feedback very useful, but I'm not very sure, most of people are really interested about long altercations in the topic dedicated the Aether Wave theory (AWT). So I welcome the creating of special topic for such purposes.

The AWT significance for physic is quite ambivalent. From one perspective its a quite new and fundamental view, which can connect both the mainstream theories (i.e. the relativity theory and quantum mechanic) into single unitary theory and it can change and simplify whole view of contemporary physic.

From the another perspective the AWT is just a very subtle extrapolation based on trivial combination of two commonly known and widely used equations, the wave equation user posted image and the mass-energy equivalence principle user posted image with limited practical significance. As both these equations are having solid physical meaning, I can see a quite improbable, the common solution of both of them has no relevance for physic at all, but the whole development of AWT depends on scientific community. It can be solely joint action, and the public peer review is the first step.

at the first glance, the AWT should be proven by some math model of common experiment with known result, the unknown experiment prediction the better. The true is, till now I have any formal calculus derived yet. I've made just a few steps of numerical solution, so every claim about AWT is just an extrapolation, based on Boolean logic, not the quantitative math. Nevertheless, the Boolean logic is part of formal math to, co I can try to explain, why I suppose, the Pupamancur objections are irrelevant.

Thanks the Pupamancur for kind introduction of his stance... wink.gif I hope, it will not be just the lonely dialog of two people - all the others members of this forum are hearty welcomed too, if you're interested about this topic.

It's not the simple. The introductory postulates of AWT are well known and defined. From this point of view, the introductory position of AWT is much better, than the position of alternative theories, like the M-theory or LQG, when such postulates are defined in much more vague way. Such theories can claim virtually anything and so they cannot be even easily disproved.

The refutability is the important characteristic of scientific theory, the non refutable theories are just a hypothesis, no less, no more. So we can say, the AWT is refutable theory at least, because it has very well defined the postulate base.

The another crucial point is, whether the AWT is void and empty theory. I'm sure, it's not the true. The system of the introductory equations user posted image, user posted image is definitely solvable and it describes the undulations of the hypothetical string, the density of which is proportional the energy density in each moment and time location. The time evolution of such system was tested by numerical way in two dimensions and it is depicted to the animation bellow.

user posted image

It's not clear, whether such solution has some physical meaning, but the system of these two equations definitely has mathematical meaning, so it can serve for predictions. From this point of view the AWT is definitely not the void theory. It predicts something, we just don't know, whether the result can have some physical meaning - thats all.

The last stance, the AWT is invalid theory is the most problematic one. In fact, it contradicts the stance, the AWT is the void theory. If the AWT would be a null theory, it cannot be wrong, of course - it would have simply no meaning. But as we know, the AWT has a certain meaning, so it cannot be empty. But it can be wrong with the respect of point, it doesn't describe the physical reality. From such perspective is important, the AWT is solely based onto equations, which are having a solid, robust and well proven physical meaning. The parallel solution of such equations should have some physical meaning too, at least at certain range - or something will be wrong with the whole physical formalism, which uses such extrapolations and combinations too.

So we cannot say, the AWT is solely wrong, it can be just wrong outside the scope of validity of both the user posted image, user posted image equations. We should try the reason, why such equations cannot be combined at first to be able to postulate such claim.

If you could, you would have done it by now instead of wasting your time in thousands of posts. This is the first thing a proponent of a new theory does: it proves that the new thory passes experiment. You CANNOT do that, therefore AWT is INVALID.

Do you even realize that when you crib the d'Alembertian from MathWorld: Wave Equation you are just taking a shorthand expression for user posted image where v = c.

It's very typically of people who have sloganized E=mc^2 to fail to grasp it's context in modern physics, as the expression for the Lorentz-Invariant rest mass. (mc^2)^2 = E^2 - (pc)^2 where p is momentum.

Quantum Field Theory tells a tale about the Wave Equation, and calls it the equation of a free (non-interacting) massless spin-0 particle. Since matter does interact with itself, and the solutions to your wave equation are linearly superimposable without interaction terms, then your theory must predict no forces.

This is non-physical.

I don't know, why the string theory calls these 11D elements the strings - but the d'Alambertian operator doesn't contain some particular number of dimensions. The string is simply a piece of inertial elastic matter from such perspective.

The c^2 = string tension / string mass density. Both the tension, both the mass density are related to energy density via E=mc^2.

..people who have sloganized E=mc^2 to fail to grasp it's context in modern physics, as the expression for the Lorentz-Invariant rest mass....

At the first glance, the AWT doesn't care about some rest mass, because all the elements are in perpetual motion. The rest mass is simply redundant concept here. Therefore the AWT uses just the dynamic (relativistic) mass.

..Quantum Field Theory tells a tale about the Wave Equation, and calls it the equation of a free (non-interacting) massless spin-0 particle....

That's all right, but the AWT uses the relativistic wave equation, where the mass density is proportional to energy density. Such equation becomes strongly nonlinear and leads to the asymptotic, non-steady state solution. Just try to imagine it: even the infinitesimal impulse on such string generates some undulations and some energy density, thus increases the mass density of such string, thus in turn increases the energy density even more by avalanche like process.

When such process will stop? Well, it will not stop at all - it will continue forever...
Zephir
The surprising thing is, even such simple system is somewhat over-parametrized. The collapse of string will never stop, but it slovens with time, as the string becomes more dense. Furthermore, here are less or more stable states, when the energy density decreases with the gravitational pressure. At this situation, the solution becomes a quasi-stable and it will lead to the famous foamy behavior.

Now we can imagine, how the E=mc^2 is really working: whenever you introduce some energy into such undulation foam, the bubbles of such foam will become vibrating at the higher pitch. As the result, the bubble membranes will contract and the density of bubbles will increase. The density of bubbles corresponds the matter density of Aether, by such way we can see, the matter density is proportional to energy density - even without E=mc^2 postulate!

This is really great, because it enables us to eliminate the E=mc^2 formula from solution and to derive the c^2 constant just from geometry of solution (which in turn follows from such dependence implicitly).

Unfortunately, such derivation appears too difficult for me, being deeply implicit function. It just shows the way, how all the fundamental constants of our universe can be derived just by patient iterations of wave equation solution. It's not all, because I suppose, such implicit solution can be simplified even more to the diffusion equation, but I haven't such concept formalized yet. But it seams, whole the universe is just a single huge complex fluctuation of fluctuations of fluctuations controlled just by the diffusional gradients and waves....

Well, your AWT is invalid until you keep your previous promise and demonstrate with equations that it passes the standard tests. Relativity passes them, AWT doesn't. So, until you show your equations, AWT stays INVALID.

AWT is not a complete theory. It is just a direction of the investigation now. String Theory is much different now then 30 years ago. LQG and Heim solve some problems but they are not complete too. String theory changed into M-theory but is not complete and many people even say its is a wrong direction of the investigation.

Every theory needs a discussion to find the wrong statement and correct it.

We need you Pupamancur to develope AWT.
Confused2
The AWT is based on a magical ether which has whatever properties Zephir feels it ought to have on the day. In the tradition of story telling it is (in Zephir's mind) acquiring many of the properties of a 'real' scientific theory. The same story every time is the AWT equivalent of an equation which gives the same result every time. The problem is compounded by Zephir's belief that each story could be turned into formal mathematics if only he knew how. For Zephir any test of the AWT can be reduced to a test of his faith in the AWT. It may be an uncrackable combination.

Nope, the AWT is based on the belief in universality of mass-energy equivalence principle E=mc^2. If some different theories are speaking about Higgs lattice, vacuum condensate, quantum foam, Dirac's sea or space-time fabric with certain energy, it simply means, such environment should have some mass and inertial properties too - or the whole Einstein equation is invalid.

The simple analogy with water surface waves (where whole the underwater is virtually undetectable by such mechanical waves for observation) learns us about mechanism, haw such energy manifests itself into reality and how the energy and mass are mutually related with respect of the position/role of observer (i.e. the fact, whether he's formed by such environment, or not).

Frankly, I'm not sure, the Pupamancur is able to develop anything. But the development of scientific theory becomes a matter of specialization, obviously. The development of theories just by mathematicians is obviously ineffective. They should be always consulted by the people with the intuitive insight into physical reality and vice-versa. Both these sort of peoples are having so different way of thinking, so its virtually impossible to expect, some genius will solve all the problems of civilization alone.

Unfortunately it seems, currently both these groups of people are highly competitive. One group doesn't believes the other one mutually. The intuitive people are having insight and new ideas, the formal people the tools, how to introduce it into reality. We can see the analogy with
AWT dualities again. The future is in close cooperation of such people.

It is the weakest point (quantitave estimations at this level aside) in your otherwise very inteligent efforts.

QUOTE (Turanyanin+Sep 23 2006, 02:36 PM)

The fundamental model of AWT is quite quantitative, though. The model of string, where the mass density correspond the energy density has solid & robust physical meaning and it can be subject of numerical modeling easily. It has even the practical consequences in real physic of thermodynamical system - for example, I've never met with the model of supercritical condensation into foam and droplet. I can't understand, why it is so - it's quite real system, supposedly more simpler, then turbulence. The only explanation can be, it has no practical application so far - who cares about some droplets in supercritical vapor? But I believe, the solution of such system can bring a progress into understanding of Aether topology. The increasing of practical significance of Bose-Einstein condensates can accelerate the solution of this problem.

Furthermore it's obvious, even the solely quantitative theories, like the LQG/M-theory aren't able to compute/predict something useful/meaningful with quantitative approach as well. So where is an advantage? The adherence on formal models solvable by analytical way is rather brake of development by now, because whole the contemporary praxis is based on numerical models and even the formal models must be evaluated numerically to be feasible. The recursive nature of reality leads to very implicit and recursive schemes, which cannot be described by formal math easily, to solve the less. But as a biggest problem of formal approach I can see the fact, it cuts as from the intuitive understanding of physical reality. It quite unnecessary, because the nature of reality is recursive like fractal: if you understand the one bit, you can understand the others without problem on the analogy basis. With compare of it, the math formalism becomes just more and more complex, until it becomes unmaintainable - the situation of superstring theory clearly demonstrates such problem.

It's like the attempt to illustrate the pixel photography by using of just math of vector graphic. Bellow certain level of detail understanding such approach will become simply ineffective. The best approach so far is to use a sort of fractal compression. As an another example can serve the mathematical description of turbulence by using of Navier-Stokes Equations. Here is evident gap between the possibilities of formal approach and the numerical solution of reality. We have equations, but no ways, how to solve them analytically, although the numeric solution can be fast, easy and efficient.. The AWT situation is the very same - and please consider, the system of two equations user posted image and user posted image is only heavily simplified problem. As I've proposed previously, the requirement of the E=mc^2 can be removed from postulate list of AWT too be involving of the knowledge about recursive geometry of system.

I don't know, why the string theory calls these 11D elements the strings - but the d'Alambertian operator doesn't contain some particular number of dimensions. The string is simply a piece of inertial elastic matter from such perspective.

It doesn't. String theory described 1 dimensional objects (strings) which move in 11 dimensions. An 11 dimensional object would be known as a 'brane', short from membrane. Usually (though it can depend on specific boundary conditions) an N dimensional object in String/M theory is called an N-brane, or a D-N-brane, so a string is a D1-brane.

If the object is not 1 dimensional, it's not a string, it cannot be by definition. Wikipedia has a couple of good pages on explaining the ideas of Dp-branes.
QUOTE (Zephir+Sep 23 2006, 12:24 AM)
The c^2 = string tension / string mass density. Both the tension, both the mass density are related to energy density via E=mc^2.

As already pointed out, E=mc^2 is over hyped by 'introductions to relativity' books, most notably pop science books and so this gives those people who haven't already studied relativity in any kind of depth (even special relativity) the false impression E=mc^2 is a hugely pivotal equation. While on some fronts it is, if you're going to describe anything dynamical you'll be needing the full form of the equation which takes into account momentum. To do otherwise is to attempt to describe a dynamic system without the notion of motion!

Also, just because wave velocity in a string is related to tension and density doesn't mean having a velocity term in an equation gives you the other two. Two numbers multiply to give you 10, what are they? You don't know. That same idea applies here.
QUOTE (Zephir+Sep 23 2006, 12:24 AM)
Such equation becomes strongly nonlinear and leads to the asymptotic, non-steady state solution.

Show me (and others) the maths you've done to get the fact the solutions are strongly non-linear (also, define what strongly nonlinear means when compared to just 'nonlinear') and asymptotic, non-steady states.

If you're trying to solve the wave equation, you've got linear solutions, because there is no mixing of terms like qq' (q being the string state) which are non-linear. Just looking at the equation tells you that, never mind sitting down and crunching boundary conditions.
QUOTE (Zephir+Sep 23 2006, 12:24 AM)
Just try to imagine it: even the infinitesimal impulse on such string generates some undulations and some energy density, thus increases the mass density of such string, thus in turn increases the energy density even more by avalanche like process.
It would depend on the strength of the impulse applied related to the initial energy density of the string. Given you'd be conserving total energy, it's likely the energy would ripple out dispersing itself over the entire string in an (averaged over a time frame) uniform manner. There's be no 'avalanche of energy density' because where's the energy come from? It can't just keep growing and growing.

Unfortunately here's no constraint for string denomination - compare for example here "Four Dimensional String/String/String Triality". The denomination like the "heterotic string", "solitonic string", etc. implies, the string theory has no constraint to the string denomination with respect of dimensionality. After all, just the simple bionic S(0) string can be unidimensional, all the strings and even denomination super string implies a more complex model implicitly involving super symmetry concept. The Bran's are 2D dimensional string, the dualities are manifolds, not string (for example T-duality is toroidal duality).

Somehow I doubt you're well enough versed in the specifics of string theory, compactified dimensions and dualities on such space-time configurations to understand much, if any, of the paper (or it's abstract) you've linked to.

I'm well aware of such names as 'heteroic string' or IIB strings, it was part of my 4th year dissertation to discuss their interrelations in 10 dimensional space-time and how they are linked under an 11 dimensional viewpoint.

I was countering your comment " why the string theory calls these 11D elements the strings" because it doesn't. Just because something can move in N dimensions doesn't mean it's N dimensional. A point particle can move in 3 (or 3+1) dimensions but is zero dimensional itself. Names like heteroic and solitonic relate to something else. A soliton is a wave which is localised in time, it does not dissipate (the KdV equation being a very nice example of such a system). Heteroic string theory involves compactifying a dimension onto a finite interval if memory serves.

If q(x,t) and p(x,t) are solutions to the wave equation then so is r(x,t) = q(x,t) + p(x,t). Boundary conditions or not, that is a fact, so I can agree boundary conditions can be neglected, because they play no part in the fundamental structure of the solutions when it comes to linearity.

Yes, a I wrote here, whenever you introduce some energy into such undulation foam, the bubbles of such foam will become vibrating at the higher pitch. As the result, the bubble membranes will contract and the density of bubbles will increase. The density of bubbles corresponds the matter density of Aether, by such way we can see, the matter density is proportional to energy density - even without E=mc^2 postulate!

This is really great, because it enables us to eliminate the E=mc^2 formula from solution and to derive the c^2 constant just from geometry of solution (which in turn follows from such dependence implicitly).

Nice way of putting your foot in it. Firstly, you use no maths, just hand drawn pictures (yeah, that's accurate biggrin.gif ) than claim it's not linear because it's wiggly. Secondly, the solution has nothing to do with the linearity of the governing equation. f(x-vt) is ALWAYS a solutionof the wave equation, no matter the function f (provided twice differentiable), it's the argument of the function which makes it a solution. Similarly for g(x+vt). But then you'd know that if you'd picked up a single book on basic PDEs, of which the wave equation is always given as an example (and proving f(x-vt) satisfies it is almost always either a worked example or given as exercise). Thirdly, just having a wiggly, complicated function doesn't mean it's nonlinear, look up Bessell Functions here. They're extremely wiggly, but are solutions of a LINEAR differential equation.

If you want to make actual testable predictions, you'll need SOME maths. Depending on where the first bit of maths takes you, you might need some very deep maths.

Quantum field theory started out using well established mathematics but rapidly developed into a theory of such depth the physicists had to come up with new mathematical methods to solve the physics problems, so deep maths was required even though initially it wasn't thought so.

No avalanche effect occurs. If you add a set amount of energy to a string you don't spontaneously get it producing more and more energy. Where does this energy come from? Yes, adding energy increases mass density, thats it. When you stop adding energy, mass density stops increasing. The total amount of energy then remains constant.

If you derive some equation by using of Pythagorean theorem, it's nothing strange, the result "spews out" the Pythagorean theorem.

String theory is not just QED and GR cobbled together. It begins in a similar manner to QFT by quantising something and uses some of the premises of special relativity (but then so does QED and that is at odds with GR) but yet ends up producing the same results as GR.

No more relativity is put in the begining of string theory than was put in QFT, yet QFT has no GR and string theory does.

If you bothered to pick up a textbook and learn some string theory (if it's within your knowledge to grasp the mathematics, which I don't think so given your utter lack of maths display so far) you'd see why what you're saying is a mixture of twisted half truths and flat out errors.

String theory was begun as a new way of considering quantised entities other than points. From that it developed into a quantum field theory which includes general relativity, something both unlooked for initially and unexpected. The GR in string theory was derived without being put in apriory, NOT what you said, " they cannot be derived without knowledge of both these theories.".

Please consider, the Dirac function was introduced into quantum field theory in connection with general relativity. It's nothing strange, the result is compatible with it. The explanation of relativistic aberation in context of AWT is trivial. The vacuum is formed by Aether, the particles and inertial bodies are all formed by more dense Aether too. As the Aether is elastic, it collapses slightly around dense bodies, making itself a more dense too. Such dense blob of Aether around massive bodies is source of optical lensing effect, known as relativistic aberation.

Im talking about photon. As we know, the short-wavelength photons are difracted onto atom nuclei, wheres the longer not. So the photons should have some size. Such size has nothing to do with wavelenght of light, which is a much more larger. Try to explan the photon formation and its size by using of superstring theory.

No, the Dirac Delta Function was created by Dirac in relation to quantum field theory, which incorporates SPECIAL relativity, not general. It is a continous version of the Kroneker Delta.

As for your explaination, I see nothing more than "Because I say so". Even Newton's theory predicts some precesion, how can you be sure your theory predicts the right amount and not a different amount if you haven't done the numbers? Again, you're guessing.

How big is a photon then by your theory? Photon scattering can be computed in string theory I think, at least in principle, though my familiarity with it isn't enough (unlike you, I'm not claiming to be an expert of a unifying theory).

Also, just because photons scatter doesn't mean the theory says they have size. Quantum electrodynamics predicts photon scattering brilliantly, yet models the photon and electron as points. Again, you're guessing without realising your conclusions aren't the only possible ones.

The Newton theory explain precession as such. Because the vacuum is more dense near the sun, the real precession will be affected by such way. Of course, without exact math I cannot make quantitative predictions. Nevertheless I can do some qualitative predictions, for example to predict the appearance of black hole. On the other hand, the math doesn't enables me to say, whether the interior of black hole will be emty or not. It's a matter of qualitative analysis.

Nope, this problem CAN be quite simple: the spherical wave can really exist. But it will be always formed by some more subtle particles/waves, which are interfering with this. And the photons are product of such interference - they're simply manifestation of the granularity of our space.

The very easy to understand is the 2D analogy of the wave spreading at the water surface. Such wave appears circular. But the underwater isn't homogeneous, being formed by less or better pronounced density fluctuations, which are coming from Brownian motion. We can imagine a certain distribution and the average size of these underwater waves. They will interfere with the surface waves into dynamic patterns, which can be considered as the mechanical analogy of photons, characterized by spin.

1) Photons are emitted when charged particles change momentum, a free electron which interacts with a photon absorbs it and changes momentum. Antennas are designed to cause constructive interference at high efficiency at the designed wavelengths.
2) You don't usually see radio frequency quanta because an astronomical number of electrons are being sent/received from most antennas. There is also a "Noise Floor" that makes it hard to pick out quantum signals below the THz range. All evidence is that photons are responsible for UV, for Visible light, for near-IR, for far-IR and extreme-IR, and microwaves and radio waves with a continuous shading of effects into there arbitrary ranges, so there is no evidence of non-quantized EM radiation.
3) The dipole radiation pattern is the sum of an astronomical number of photons. Matter is "apparently continuous" which is not an argument that matter is not composed of subatomic particles.
4) Since Zephir professes understanding of the "Wave equation", he can tell you that the a spherical symmetric initial condition always produces a spherically symmetric later state, so spherical waves are implicit in Zephir's math. The fact that this equation does not appear in QED suggests that Zephir's model doesn't effectively model EM.

Although I'm pretty sure, at this moment we will have some even much deeper intuitive insight into reality.

The math is something like tool. It enables to work with the knowledge by practical way. Such knowledge can be even solely empiric, so we can use the regression models of reality. For example, we can prepare the alloy or miniate the fabric by the dye without minute understanding the atom structure and chemistry.

What does it mean for math solution of the wave equation? The wave equation becomes self-dependent and nonlinear. How such solution will appear, after than??

You can think about AWT just only by purely math way - nobody prohibits you to do that. But if you're not able to solve such system analytically, does it mean, is it unsolvable at all? Or does it mean, it has nothing to do with reality?

Well, I don't think so. After all, in physic we know a lotta systems, which are having well defined equations at the very beginning, like the Navier-Stokes equations describing the behavior of fluids. But we aren't able to solve such equation with exception of the most simple cases. By such way, the Navier-Stokes equations solution becomes one of the most complex problems of the contemporary math, despite of the simplicity of these equations. The AWT system of equations is the very similar problem.

After all, we can consider the return of abstract math at the level of numeric experiment - after all, the superstring theorists are using such approach quite often for testing their concepts. We can apply formal model event to the result of numerical simulation, not just experimental results.

From the other side, the formal math can be useful for development of new and more effective numeric methods, so we can consider some sort of symbiosis, not the divergence of numeric and formal approach.

Can you detect your Aether?

The question of yours is equivalent to question: "Can you detect the underwater just by using a surface water waves?"

With respect of the surface waves, the water surface appears nearly empty space without obstacles. Nevertheless you can detect the subtle density fluctuations (result of Brownian motion) by these waves as a well known quantum uncertainty, zero point energy & quantum effects. With respect of the underwater, the tiny surface waves are solely driven by surface tension, the water surface behaves like elastic membrane and the underwater absolute motion cannot be detected by such waves at all.

The higher wavelength these surface wave have, the more apparent becomes the Aether reference frame, because the larger surface waves are more influenced by underwater. This is a reason, why we can detect the absolute motion by using of microwave background radiation (space probe WMAP and COBE). By such way, the AWT can easily explain, under which condition the Aether reference frame can be detected and why as the only theory available. The detection of gravitational waves should enable to observe the motion of Aether directly.

User posted image user posted image

So the answer can sound: of course yes, if you know, what to observe. The most apparent (though indirect) evidence of Aether remains the wave character of light as such. The motion of Aether can be even detectable by naked eye as so called Zero Point Energy by the fact, the liquid helium never freezes into solid even at zero temperature. The eternal motion of its atoms corresponds the Brownian motion of pollen and dust particle in liquid.

The sensitivity of this approach for detection of the environment motion can be demonstrated by the fact, the Brownian motion is the only phenomena, which enables us to observe the effect of the motion of atoms and molecules directly by naked eye by using carbon disulphide - sulfur system. At the case of liquid hellium we can detect the motion of gravitons - i.e. the particles, which are by more than 35 orders of magnitude smaller!

Hey everyone, just a guest here but I've been following this post for some time now. At first it was slightly interesting but it has become exasperating. Everyone is cogent and makes constructive comments except for Zephir who consistently dodges any attempts to pin his theory down and irritates everyone by spouting what looks like absoloute nonsense both grammatically and mathematically.
In fact, Zephirs posts remind me of an article I read about a program that wrote fake scientific papers. If i remember correctly the authors of the program fed in a subject and the program mashed together some long words and mathematical terms and out popped a paper. The sample paper I read made absoloutely no sense but because of the massive amount of polysyllabic words and mathematical terms it was hard for me (a student of mathematics, by no means a master) to say that it was meaningless except that to me it looked like someone had glued together a bunch of impressive sounding words in no particular order without bothering to actually mean anything per se.
The authors of the program actually submitted a few papers for a physics conference at their university and 2 of them were accepted and the authors asked to lecture on them. This obviously caused great embarassment.
Anyway anyway, what I meant to say was that I suspect that Zephir is actually someone having a lot of fun winding everyone up with a dictionary a handful of heuristics, a computer and far too much spare time.

Nonsense, all the experiments designed to detect the "aether" or the "preferential reference frame" have returned null results. There are some serious "aether theories", defined by real physicists, not by ignorant diletantes. These theories have been used to construct experiments that predict the detection of a preferential reference frame. Every time, like clockwork, these experiments came up empty. So we can safely conclude that there is no such thing as a preferential frame or "aether"

More nonsense, note the name of this thread "AWT is an INVALID theory". If you think you can design an experiment in the framework of AWT that will detect the "Aether reference frame" , please write up the math that describes it (yeah, good luck). Until then, remember that AWT fails quite a bunch of less exotic experiments, so it is a stillborn theory, a waste of time.

The foam model of aether based on transversal wave spreading doesn't contradict the apparent absence of reference frame. Concerning the WMAP/COBE result, the true is, these experiments never been "designed to detect the 'aether' or the 'preferential reference frame'" and its results were simply unexpected by any mainstream theory.

The better for aether theory - the results of experiments designed to support some particular model often tends to be fabricated (compare the first Eddington's proofs of relativity).
