ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY rotate (or does so very slightly at most) with a body rotating at low velocities. The results of this analysis is consistent with the Michelson - Gale experiment and the behavior of the Foucault pendulum and the behavior of electric fields associated with charged particles. At spin velocities approaching the speed of light Lorentz transformation type calculations become relevant because of the inability of the field to mediate between the sink and the background Einstein Spatial Ether in a timely manner. 1. Michelson - Morley And Special Relativity The absorption and entrainment components of this paradigm effectively explain the null results of the Michelson-Morley experiment. This aspect of the paradigm is serendipitous. I did not see it coming. I now realize that the Lorentz - FitzGerald Contraction is just a mathematically useful artifact. Michelson, himself, believed that the ether was entrained and never accepted Special Relativity. I have added the concept of a gravitational system with a sink, whose absorption capabilities is the driving force behind this entrainment, and afield that moderates between the relation of a gravitational body and the Background Einstein Spatial Ether. Thus, there is no relative motion between a gravitational mass and "space" in the body's immediate vicinity and incoming light approaches even a moving mass at the same velocity from all directions. The so called Lorentz - Fitzgerald Contraction is a mathematical adjustment between expectations of what would occur if mass did not absorb and entrain ESE and what occurs because it does. There is no need for slowing clocks or shrinking measuring sticks. I and several others (including George Marklin, Henry Lindner, and Steven Rado) have independently proposed a test of this hypothesis. We note that all Michelson - Morley experiments have been run tangentially to the surface of the earth. Thus all vector components of in-streaming space canceled. We propose that if the apparatus, or one arm of it, is oriented vertically adrift will be detected. However, the gravitational redshift and its effect on atomic clocks is real. So is the increase in mass which is associated with increased velocity as long as mass is regarded as a measure of inertia. Increasing a body's velocity may somehow increase it's ability to absorb Einstein Spatial Ether. At first blush this may seem absurd, but it is consistent with the principle of equivalence of mass and energy and some of the mysterious events revealed in particle accelerators. As one of many possible strange scenarios an electron can emit a photon which can split into a second electron and positron which can then recombine into a photon and be absorbed by a third electron. How does one get an electron and a positron
