I think there is a subconscious belief in aether even with the einsteinians and they don’t know it.
How can we measure if something is going the speed of light? We don’t actually know what what speed the earth is relative to. For all we know, it could be traveling at 1,000000000 miles per hour. There is an implicit assumption that all things are relative to the aether.
For example, if we shoot a light beam from earth, we measure the speed of light based on the origin point the beam was shot, and how long it takes for the beam to reflect back on it. But how do we know the origin point itself is not moving at 1,00000000 miles per hour along with the moon and everything else? Because in the back of our minds, we implicitly assume that all motion is dependent and held together by the aether. So, if the the moon and earth is moving 1,0000000 miles per hour, then so is the aether. The aether is moving 1,00000000 miles per hour too. And thus light is held together in it so that the return distance of the light coming back is the same speed.
That being said, we assume the spaceship travelling at lightspeed, is pushing against the aether at a faster rate than the aether wants to provide. So the aether causes it’s mass to compress, as proved by the equations. The spaceship is moving at a lightspeed relative to the aether, but inside the space ship it has it’s own aether, which is contained by the atoms of the spaceship, accelerated to lightspeed with it.
The aether very outside the spaceship will try to accelerate with the nose of the ship, this will cause it to compress against other layers farther from it an the nose, creating a wave compression effect, similar to a boat on the water. The compressed waves at the front of the nose will have a magnetic repulsion effect on any state that is within the frequency of its interaction. The back waves on the back of the ship will be hollow, and so outside aether will try to fill into it, creating a magnetic suction effect.
It is unclear what would happen at exactly lightspeed, but my theory of inter-light travel is not nearly a magical or fantastic sounding as Einsteins time paradoxes. If there is a very large spaceship travelling at 90% lightspeed (which you will agree is possible) inside the ship is a pool. In the pool is a boat. The boat goes 20% lightspeed and nothing special happens. Why? The boat is going 110% lightspeed? Why did no magical paradox happen like Einstein said? Because lightspeed is relative to the aether. The aether inside the ship is not moving, the aether outside the ship is.
It is unclear what will happen if the aether is compressed enough (when a metal object goes 100%c.) The speed of light may have special properties, but not in the way you expect. the speed of light may be a propogation reaction constant. For instance, when you roll a ball, the atoms on the bottom trigger a cascade sequence by communicating with the atoms it is linked to causing a wave cascade sequence. In one instant the ball rools, because atoms at the bottom move, which then makes the atoms it is next to move, the atoms next to that move, and so forth, until it reaches the top of the ball and so forth. This is why merry go rounds tend to break at the edges, because it requires more and more links in order to rotate it the same amount of distance as relative to origin. If a single link is broken, it often results in a cataclysimic tear, with the whole piece ripping apart, such as a ball taped to a piece of paper that is swiveled around like a yoyo. What that is is a roundabout way of saying that propogation has a reaction rate constant. When a ball is rolled, the atoms next to it are communicated to at a fast rate. But say you had a very wobbly piece of metal. The reaction rate is only a few miles per hour, it wobbles and becomes a wave. But say you had very sturdy piece of metal. Reaction rate is close to speed of light. So lets say you had a giant stick that was as sturdy as you could build it, it extended for 180,000 miles away. The atoms at the end of the thing would have a delay if you moved
it, the reaction rate cannot exceed the speed of light.
So now you understand what the word “reaction rate” means, lets go one step further. If the propogation reaction constant is exceeded, something strange may happen. There may be magical effects, such as matter going backwards, time going reversed, light creating itself, etc. But I’m not sure. I just no that light speed can be easily breached because if you go lightspeed, the nose of the ship will accelerate the aether in front of it to go lightspeed, and so it wouldn’t be breathing the propogation reaction constant, because the aether in front of it is acting as a wave buffer to lessen the compression of aether onto the nose. Essentially, the aether will be protecting you from the slower aether in front of you, and increasing the communication rate between it and the aether infront of you because it is a gradient type wave.
However, you can cheat this by making the “jump” to lightspeed instantaneous. Now this is where the tricky stuff happens. If you “jump” to lightspeed you are essentially cheating the aether constant and magic will happen, because the pressure build up on the nose is instantaneous, there is no wave buffer created in time. The pressure of the nose and aether will be enormous, and the ship will flatten like a pankcake. However, if you somehow managed to breach c faster than the propogation reaction constant, strange effects may be observed, perhaps even time travel but I am not sure.
As for light, I am not sure about it but I think it is a flat entity. As for the reason for its oscillation I am unsure at this time. I am going to do some quantum experiments and report back in 01900 hours.
