This thread has gone so far south that it fell off the border of flat earth. |

The theory of "new electric" has already been discovered: https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html |

If they did observe aetherwind they would of course never report it. They would invent some kind of excuse. In fact they are so clever that they would have no trouble finding a way to use that excuse to once again prove Einstein. --- End quote --- This has got to be my favorite flavor of conspiracy theory: that a bunch of scientists all agree to the same lie. Obviously, you don't know any scientists. All they want to do is be the first to find something new. (Just like you, except you're not a scientist.) There's no way you could keep each of them from secretly publishing their own paper and getting all of the glory. The premise is laughable. --- End quote --- According to Einsteinists (such as the scientists getting paid every second Thursday at CERN) we can destroy the earth if a grain of sand gets close enuff to the speed of light, because a grain of sand would then have almost infinite energy. For example 0.999 999 999 999 999 999 999 999 999c might destroy the Earth, according to them, & according to young Alby. Ridiculous. However, aether theory (& old Albert) says that there is no such thing as mass increase with speed. So, aetherists agree with old Albert, who (in later years) said that the max possible mass was the rest mass, & that speed did not add mass. But i notice that many Einsteinists disagree with old Albert, they like young Alby. Aether theory says that relative velocity can be almost 2c (ie we can go at almost 1c in opposite directions). Aetherists say that the energy of a grain of sand is E=mVV/2. And, V can be almost 2c. So, E can be 2mcc. Which would have a smallish finite value (not a nearly infinite value). A 2.1 mm grain of sand weighing 13 mg, with a relative speed of 2c, would have a KE of 2.34*10^12 J. This is equivalent to 1 kg moving at c/139. Earth is safe(ish), at least today. Thanx to aetherists (no thanx to CERN). It is equivalent to 28 atomic bombs (ea being 20,000 tonnes of TNT). |

What is pure energy? Anyhow, i reckon that mass cant be completely converted to (pure) energy. In that case, E=mcc aint true. Mass is bottled light (Jeans), ie confined photons (Williamson), & annihilation of say an electron (a confined photon) produces a free photon (or two), & free photons have mass & energy. Free neutrinos are paired photons (if u were wondering)(not important). Confined neutrinos are dark matter (u should have been wondering)(not important). Anyhow, mass cant be completely destroyed, all of the confined photons can only be converted to free photons, & free photons cant be destroyed, & free photons have energy. Hence E=mcc aint valid. STR is krapp -- & GTR is mostly krapp. We are presently in the Einsteinian Dark Age of science -- but the times they are a-changin'. The aether will return -- it never left. |

This reminds me of a book I read (part of) years ago when I was spending time in a Barnes & Noble many years ago: There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings, by Kenn Amdahl. I think I'm going to order it and give it a re-read. --- End quote --- https://www.facebook.com/There-Are-No-Electrons-Electronics-for-Earthlings-by-Kenn-Amdahl-112434572156821/ https://geekmom.com/2011/02/kenn-amdahl-makes-learning-fun/?fbclid=IwAR3LocbyR23NEJT9tuMkKlOELGe88JGkiRNfUrnRvxYaNP6OC2UqK7C407E In an effort to write an engaging book on a dull (to some) subject, Kenn Amdahl brings us There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings. Praised by the likes of Ray Bradbury, Clive Cussler, and Dave Barry, this book aims to teach electricity to those that don’t take to it naturally. With a really humorous tack, Amdahl teaches aspects of electromagnetism with humor and narrative. This isn’t a book that just systematically teaches you how electricity works. It takes you on a journey, including you as part of a story line. The learning will come easily. This book very much reminds me of the English book Grammarland which we use in our homeschooling. That 100+ year old text for kids teaches grammar in the context of a story. It is much more entertaining than any other way I’ve seen grammar taught, and Amdahl does the same for electronics here. Filled with examples, stories, a handful of equations and diagrams, plenty of tongue-in-cheek, and even some poetry, There Are No Electrons: Electronics For Earthlings makes a dry subject easier to read. Many concepts are addressed, and specific electronic parts (diodes, capacitors, transistors, semiconductors, oscillators, etc.) are explained. You may not know or remember all of the equations dealing with electricity, but by the time you’re done reading this book, you’ll understand the basics. And for most of us, that’s enough. There Are No Electrons: Electronics For Earthlings retails for $12.95.
