Clarifying Space, "Ether" and Nothingness
Richard Harrison wrote:
It seems likely to me that this experiment indicates that no medium is required for transmission of light despite the need of a medium to transport sound. If the vacuum pump was evacuating ether along with air molecules, the clock would also be evacuated. An opaque solid is a medium that will pass sound but not light. A vacuum is a medium that will pass light but not sound. One cannot evacuate ether using a vacuum pump. In that evacuated space in the bottle, two conducting plates will be pushed together although connected to nothing. What does the pushing if not something in the vacuum medium? -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com "According to the general theory of relativity, space without ether is unthinkable." Albert Einstein |
