... It doesn't help me with antenna performance. Go there without me. I can see the "spirit" you said that in, however, that statement could not be further from the truth ... "it" (or "those" theories and "ponderings"--space-structure/ether) is the whole reason why a signal gets from point a to point b ... We cannot know if there are possibly better ways to manipulate this/these mediums, or if it is possible to design antennas "better" to manipulate "it", until we know what "it" is ... barring "dumb luck" and someone just "stumbles" onto some antenna which shows some improvement, somehow. But yes; build something from present-day data/technology, it looks as if all this is going to take a bit before we know. Regards, JS |

[1913 Webster] A. I see no induication that the word has changed since at least 1913. I see no indication of the use of "empty" as a scientific term that includes absence of space. B. It is obvious from the above definition that "empty" includes the presence of space, otherwise there would be no locus of points which could be characterized as empty. Another way to say it is, in the absence of space, there is nothing to be empty. Without space, the word "empty" has no utility or purpose. |

Without space, the word "empty" has no utility or purpose. in 1913 the study of particles was not linked to the four forces of the standard model It hasn,t hit the books because there is no series of references that can be included. No book no need for a revised dictionary no need for change Re obvious.. a word used when supporting logic is not readily available Art Art |
