BW: If there is an infinite reduction in aether-1, -2, ad infinitum, then there is no "smallest unit" to move. I suppose you could have discrete "levels" of motion at each nominal size of aether particles, but my point is that your assertion of a smallest unit of mass or motion is NOT consistent with infinity.

[GB: You are right that,
according to the Eighth Assumption of Science, infinity (The universe is
infinite, both in the microcosmic and macrocosmic directions), there really can
be no “smallest unit of motion,” just as there can be no “smallest particle” or
“finite particle.” Of course, Planck was only dealing with the smallest
detectable motions, which we assume to be aether-1 collisions with
ordinary matter. The constituents of aether-1 particles must be aether-2
particles, which we probably will never be able to detect. We need to hypothesize
this infinite regression because, in Infinite Universe Theory, matter always
comes from other matter. Unlike the regressive physicists, we do not
hypothesize that matter can be formed from “nothing” or from magical “quantum
fluctuations” or “virtual particles.”
Planck and others
assumed that these “smallest detectable units of motion” were produced by
photons. But photons do not exist, just like “soundons” do not exist. Light,
like sound, is wave motion in a medium consisting of particles undergoing
random motions. Also, motion does not have mass. That is why Einstein’s imaginary
photon had to be massless. I suggest that the collisions responsible for the
photoelectric effect are aethereal collisions. An advantage of this view is that,
by using Planck’s constant, one can calculate the properties of what we presume
to be the aether particle (e.g., m = 10-48 g,
etc.).]
