VES ether theory (Virtual Elastic String ether theory)

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.

Not long after I realized that gravitons might influence string cycles and modulate the velocity of light, I discovered that a large number of scientist over many decades have insisted that an ether theory (also spelled aether) would replace the need to believe that relativity is due to a four dimensional world. It was apparent that this portion of elastic string theory was a form of ether theory.

According to modern day ether theory, there are waves in the space that surrounds us that are responsible for a number of observations attributed to special relativity. Asimov in his physics book published in 1966 made this point: The substance carrying the wave had to be solid; it could not be a gas—all the parts had to be interconnected. Elastic graviton strings fits this idea beautifully. A graviton is composed of matter, with mass, and it is stretched across galaxies.

Over the decades, a large number of individuals have published articles insisting that ether theory completely replaces the need to believe in the special theory of relativity. I found it interesting that Lorentz believed in an ether theory. In other words, he felt there were waves in the ether that maintained the velocity of light at 299,792,459 meters per second in the Michelson-Morley experiment, not shrinkage of the instrument as dictated by his equation (to be explained in a future blog).

Before I continue on with my VES ether model I will review some of the articles devoted to ether theory. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
