Do you actually see any relation between quanta and aether theory?


Looks like you assumed I was making an exclusive assertion when it was
actually inclusive.


Okay, Cecil - now work phlogiston theory into this, and I'll buy you a beer.

Exactly what is wrong with the concept of a "quantum aether"?

And what about of Dirac see: "The Dirac sea is a theoretical model of the
vacuum as an infinite sea of particles with negative energy".

It's still not aether, it's an awkward prediction of infinite energy.

As incredibly cool as I think that would be, I suspect that we're going
to find that there is an equal and opposite effect going on.

If it's real, then Arthur C Clark predicted not only a whole lot of
energy, but a heat crisis to boot. Know how that would happen?

So is this like the aether that acts as a transport medium, or is it
like quanta, that pop into and out of existence?

And that's where I have the issue. Use of the two terms like that is
confusing. I find that some like to invoke the term as some sort of
vindication of previous ideas, some just invoke a superficial
resemblance. I remember when I first learned of quantum soup, I
immediately thought of aether, but after ten seconds or so, I figured it
was a very superficial resemblance only.

Change the "or" to "and" and you've got it. It is quanta that pop into
and out of existence that acts as a transport medium for EM waves. EM
waves cannot propagate without "it" as a medium. That's why EM waves
cannot escape the universe - witness the 12+ billion year old
background radiation still propagating through the quantum aether to
this very day.
