Previous posts have discussed the very malleable and rhetorical description of the aether by Einstein and the Relativists. As proven by thousands of light-interference experiments the aether does exist and this was known by 1920. The General Theory of Relativity (GTR) therefore was ‘forced’ to propose a ‘gravitational aether’.
In GTR this aether is not ‘ponderable’ or reducible to matter or molecules. Einstein never proved such an aether, he just stated it. This irreducible aether must be amorphous or it contradicts his Special Theory of Relativity which expressly forbade an aether and which does not discuss gravity. None of this is ‘scientific’.
The entire point of the Relativity-twins is to explain away the thousands of light interferometer experiments which find no movement of this planet.
- · In Relativity, either Special (STR) or General (GTR), cosmological bodies are in motion, then there is no absolute state of rest and no central point in the universe.
- · Every object can act as its own inertial point (this violates Newtonian and classical physics),
- · Each object will be subject to the same laws (law of equivalency), and we, the observers, can understand how one object relates to another object, only through the equations used by Relativity theory (Einstein now becomes the way, the truth, the light).
- · Each frame of reference for every object is unique including its own space and time.
In such a theory there is no need for an aether of materiality, since that would assume an absolute. Accordingly, the abstract, unproven and confusing arrays of length contractions, time dilations, mass increases and gravitational warping; appeals to the ‘intellectual sophisticates’ of modern science far more than classical physics, including orthodox Copernicanism or Tychonism.
