thinks so:
Although
reformists might think these claims by regressive physicists are hopeful signs,
they should not hold their breath. In addition to aether denial they would have
to give up the photon and spacetime along with the rest of the contradictory
nonsense associated with relativity. In other words, they could not “save
relativity” without discarding it entirely. Current funding sources will not
allow that. Best they tread lightly.
A few quotes:
“Tom Złosnik, a
cosmologist at the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague, is one of those looking
to achieve that goal. Like Jacobson, his original intention was to paint a
unified picture of quantum gravity that incorporated an aether-like field. But
as he and his colleagues got stuck into the mathematics, they made a remarkable
discovery. The aether that fit best into their model was one that matched the
demands cosmologists made of dark matter. “The result,” says Złosnik, “was
general relativity with a dark matter dust.
They published that result in late 2018.
At about the same time, Richard Battye at the Jodrell Bank Centre for
Astrophysics in Manchester, UK, published a paper suggesting the aether could
explain dark energy as well. He and his team followed in Złosnik’s footsteps,
using an expanded form of Jacobson and Mattingly’s Einstein-aether theory to
see how such models tallied with cosmological data.”
The author’s
(Brenden Foster) conclusion:
“Whether the
aether actually does make up dark matter, dark energy or both, the dark sector
may be the best place to look for clues, says Blas. “It opens a window of
detection to the aether.” We could check any experiment that probes the
properties of dark matter to look for signs of a preferred frame, he says.
If anything does
turn up, it would be an irony of truly cosmic proportions. More than a century
after its banishment from the realm of respectable science, the aether could be
the very thing we need to help make sense of the universe. In the graveyard of
failed ideas, something ethereal is stirring.”
[GB: A “preferred
frame,” I think not. “Dark Energy,” I think not. There is no “preferred frame”
in the Infinite Universe, with each microcosm in motion, whether aetherial or
not. They will never discover “Dark Energy” for two reasons: 1) Energy does not
exist; it is a calculation and 2) The magical Dark Energy is an ad hoc invented to save the
bogus universal expansion idea promulgated by relativity itself.]
