| ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY According to (Claudius Ptolemy and Tycho Brahe, if the earth were moving (rotating) an object thrown vertically upward would not descend along the same line ..., the point on the earth under the object would have shifted while the object was in the air. Furthermore, if the earth were moving (rotating) from west to east, the direction required to explain the appearance of the heavens, then ... (people on the earth would perpetually feel an east wind, just as a rider feels a wind in his face as he travels along. ... Galileo had refuted the arguments ... in his Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems. Objects ... belong to the moving system of the earth, and as parts they participate in the motion of the whole in addition to their own observable motions" Radner and Radner, Science and Unreason, Wadworth Publishing Company, 1982, p As the air moves with a rotating earth, so the aether moves with the orbiting earth. They are part of the same "world system" It is only because the aether is so much less noticeable than the air (to us) that we accept Feynman's argument without close examination. By General Relativity and the Thirring- Lenz effect, the aether MUST move around the rotating sun and the orbiting earth. A Feynman-type argument can only be used if it is demonstrated beyond any doubt that the two components are not part of the same "world system" Whenever one component is affected by the other they must be part of the same, coupled, world system -- and the interdependence cannot be dismissed without serious thought. In this case the wind affects the surface of the earth or the aether is presumed to affect the earth's orbit. Even if the Thirring-Lenz effect has no bearing, there is also the gravitational "sling" argument. If gravity is the result of a superfluid aether, then the speed of propagation of gravity must be finite. If the speed of gravity is finite, then orbiting masses will accelerate out of orbit. This is supposedly due to the "lead" of the gravitational force, due to the past position of the second object. This is one "push" that could overcome or balance the "drag" of the aether. Proponents of GR state that it is only the "delicate balance" of GR that keeps the orbits from accelerating or decelerating. Summary Maxwell's equations were explicitly developed as fluid dynamical models, and require an underlying physical medium. Special relativity was derived from Maxwell's equations. General relativity is based on perfect fluid equations. Thus, any theory based on one of these three theories implicitly retains all fluid dynamical properties. Any denial of an underlying physical medium by such a theorist is therefore hollow -- and merely shows ignorance on the part of |
