One - BEHIND THE ILLUSION

  God is the universal substance in all things.
He comprises all things. He is the fountain of all being.
In him exists everything that is.
Giordano Bruno  

[This is not meant to be a religious text and I know very little about Mr. Bruno and his circumstances when he wrote this quote. He was born in Nola, Italy, in 1548 AD, educated in a convent, took his vows in the Dominican Order, was ordained as a priest at the age of 24, developed a taste for heretical authors, led a very religious life which was in opposition to the religious authorities, was arrested by the Venetian Inquisition, and at the age of 52 after his refusal to recant his views, was burned at the stake in Rome.
  Bruno was an author who wrote on mnemonics, magic, mathematics, physics, Copernican astronomy, philosophy, religion, and cosmology to name a few. In addition to his scholarly writings, he wrote poetry and satirical comedy. The fact that he refused to recant even when threatened with being burned at the stake is to his credit as a hero - although the inquisition was not kind even had when one had recanted.
  His beliefs are grossly misinterpreted and misrepresented by some authors to this day, most likely due to the conflicting religious beliefs of those authors. Among his beliefs is the one in the quote above. It is as if Bruno had known of the existence of the universal substance of all things.]

 

In 1678, Christian Huygens explained light as waves moving through a hypothetical medium termed "luminiferous ether" which pervades all of space. Huygens' work was well founded and explained. However, Isaac Newton, already a prominent scientist, opposed Huygens by expounding upon the corpuscular theory of light. Although Newton made no attempt to address the questions raised by Huygens' work, Newton prevailed with his corpuscular theory and Huygens' work was eclipsed.

One century later, Thomas Young revived Huygens' theory, accepting the idea of an elastic ether pervading all of space. Augustin Jean Fresnel is credited with establishing the undulatory wave theory of light in the period between 1814 and 1826,. At this time, the ether was supposed to be a stationary medium through which the planets moved, and matter was what it appeared to be, something made of "solid" particles.

Fresnel and Dominique-Francois Jean Arago, building upon the work of Thomas Young, made experiments involving polarized light that stand even to this day when the theory of light, as a wave moving through a medium, is no longer considered correct.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) established the theory that light is akin to electricity, that periodic changes in an electrical field cause a periodicity in space or an electric wave. The same logic can be based upon a periodic magnetic field as the cause of magnetic waves. Maxwell's theory showed that electric fields and magnetic fields move together and that they produce waves.

In 1845, Faraday discovered that polarized light passing through a magnetic field rotated slightly. It was known that magnetism could be produced by means of electricity and vice-versa. Faraday's work was added to the evidence that light and electricity were entangled.

Hertz produced electromagnetic waves of much longer wavelengths than light and showed that they conformed to the same rules, thus adding to the work of Maxwell and Faraday.

Electrons were discovered, and Hendrik Lorentz (1853-1928) developed and expounded upon electron theory which assumed that electrons were to be found in all atoms.

In 1887, the successor to an earlier experiment performed in 1881, the Michelson-Morley experiment was performed which was generally accepted by proponents of a corpuscular theory for light as disproving beyond a shadow of a doubt the existence of a stationary ether. This was a strong but fallacious argument in favor of a corpuscular theory of light. Anyone who has taken a course in logic, or has independently discovered its principles, knows that one can prove the existence of something but cannot prove its non-existence.

In 1900 Max Planck discovered his constant, the fundamental unit of which elecromagnetic energy appears to be composed. This seemed to add to the arguments in favor of a corpuscular theory for light.

It was not until 1925 that it became apparent that electrons have a quality termed "spin" which is innate and which cannot be removed or permanently altered. Spin was considered a major discrepancy in electron theory at that time. It has since been called "angular momentum" and "spin angular momentum." However, in fact, the product of true angular momentum and anything else one chooses to insert, will result in a quality that remains as if it were angular momentum. So we have a term today which is not really angular momentum, but which contains something which acts like angular momentum.

During the span between 1887 and 1925, the idea that there could be no ether became so deeply entrenched that the discovery of spin did not even make a dent upon it. The fact that spin was innate would normally have caused one to recall the only thing that has such a quality - the vortex. Whether we speak of the waterspout, the whirlwind, the tornado, the hurricane, or the whirlpool that is there when the bathtub is drained, the vortex has the quality of maintaining its "spin."

A vortex pre-supposes the existence of a medium such as ether. In 1925, it was suicidal in academic circles to think in terms of ether. To think in terms of a so-called particle being a vortex, a thing made of energy within a dynamic medium, was to invite removal from one's place of employment. And the trend continues to this day even in the light of increasing evidence in favor of a dynamic ether.

Because of the prejudice, whether internally or externally imposed, against something called ether, I have adopted the term "nether" which can be supposed to mean "not ether," "new ether," or simply the underlying substance given to us from Greek mythology.

The nether has qualities that make it rather unique and cause us to be mystified in most instances. It is frictionless, has inertia, and compresses in some dimensions while expanding in others, according to the dictates of forces around it. Its movement creates what we call gravity.

Gravity is one thing at the level of the electron. There, the nether can flow into a vorticle (a vortex which contemporary science calls a particle) without much change in pressure and with a flow that is actually in the form of a vortex. At the level of planets such as earth, the vortices of the constituent vorticles average so that there is no apparent vortex. Furthermore, the vast numbers of vorticles in a massive body cause the spherical cross-section of flow enclosing them to pass in nether at a rate far surpassing what is found at subatomic levels. This is because the cross-section of inflow of the massive body is far less than the combined cross-sections of inflow of the vorticles.

In this little book, there will be nether terms which mean that we will be dealing with the nether directly, and there will be conventional terms because contemporary physics is based upon ignorance of the nether.

Because the nether is frictionless and has inertia, when it is moving at a constant velocity, it cannot be felt as a force. With nether, velocity is relative and most of the concepts and equations of relativity work quite well. Although the nether is never at rest even in deep space, if it were, its rest state would be no different to us than a state of constant velocity. This means that nether can be flowing past us like a wind at a constant velocity and have no effect upon us.

If we were to use a hypothetical machine to "feel" the nether, constant nether velocity would not be felt at all. Constant change of nether velocity (acceleration) would be felt as acceleration even when all or some of the nether velocities involved are in the opposite direction from the acceleration. And constant change of nether acceleration (some people call this "jerk") would be felt as jerk. In a gravity funnel such as Earth, we exist in nether that is accelerating faster and faster, so that it is actually a form of "jerk". But at any particular elevation, it is acceleration and we call it gravity.

Furthermore, nether Mass (shown as "M") is what causes what has been known as mass (shown as "m"), which is actually the Mass of nether flowing into a vorticle center (or vorticle centers) in a given length of time. So m = M/t. To avoid confusion, this must be understood when either "m" or "M" is used.

So: our "rest" or our constant "velocity" is nether d/t or nether velocity which is meaningless to us, our acceleration is nether v/t, our jerk is nether a/t, and our mass is nether M/t. So sometimes what appears to be happening, is what the nether is doing, and sometimes what appears to be happening is not what the nether is doing.

There are instances when it first appears that the nether does not conform to the usual equations found in physics. However, upon deeper examination, you will see that the nether only appears to be non-conforming. It is actually very logical, understandable, reasonable, and conforming - in its own way.

Visible change is caused by nether acceleration, which comes about only from expenditure of energy. And nether acceleration carries this energy to other places to create other changes.

All of the energy in our universe was, is, and always will be, created by the imbalance between the vacuum (nothing) and the pressure of the nether. This includes the energy in the big bang. Energy was, is, and always will be, transmitted via nether acceleration as opposed to nether velocity. The vacuum and nether-pressure imbalance of the vorticles composing this planet create the energy of inward nether acceleration which is gravity. This imbalance also creates electricity, magnetism, light, and atomic energy. And this same imbalance causes electrons to communicate via nether acceleration, creating radio, television, radar, x-rays, and other miracles of our age.
 

At the dawning of that day,
                  all objects in manifestation
                                                stream forth from the Unmanifest,
and when evening falls
                                    they are dissolved into it again.
                                    In truth, therefore,
there is the Eternal Unmanifest,
              which is beyond and above
                                                  the Unmanifest Spirit of Creation,
which is never destroyed
                                    when all these beings perish.
Bhagavad Gita
