Neutrons fly through Earth (and our bodies too) without even slowing
down.Somewhere in America,underground,there is a big tank of pure water
and scientist use that tank of water and equipment to catch the tracks
of Neutrons.Or is it Nuetrinos? I once read about that in National
Geographics magazine many years ago.

Neutrinos - you were right the second time. These little babies are so
tiny and of such high energy that they are hard to capture or even
detect.

Neutrons, however, being big and heavy, pretty much stop on collision
with anything, once released from an atom.

Well stated.

I'm sticking with Maxwell for now.


Good idea!

Radio signals are photons, little quanta of light energy, which have
characteristics of both particles and waves. They are characteristic
of particles, in part, in that they do not require a "medium" through
which to travel and can physically impinge upon other particles. They
are characteristic of waves in that they can be seen to resonate at
specific frequencies and interfere with wave characteristics of other
quanta. And vice-versa. Please excuse the imprecision in my language,
it's been awhile.


VERY well stated, and your language was fine.

I doubt that "John Smith" will get it, however.

John Smith,
You seem to be consumed by this ether subject yet you give no current

enjoy the attention this thread has generated, yet offer nothing even
remotely update on this subject. Fact of the mater you have taken
ether beyond theoretical physics and have tried to apply it to applied
physics...Antenna radiating waves through an ether!!!! I feel you are
have made a leap that hasn't been proven scienticically by experiment
yet! Only theory in some circles...which rise and fall with eb
scientific conjecture. Bruce


Bruce:

You are correct, no recent data and we CANNOT see or prove the ether.
But, at your disposal, you DO have logic ...

Waves require a medium, if you propose radio does not require waves, and
some other form of transfer is being had when radio energy leaves the
xmitting antenna to arrive at the receiving antenna--you may, indeed, be
correct. But, until you can prove that, the ether stays ...

Buddy, if you are claiming radio waves transverse the universe without a

Wikipedia is wrong. Probably why some say not to believe everything you

Of course, your radio probably receives protons rather than waves, you

The modern concept of the photon was developed gradually (1905–17) by
Albert Einstein[2][3][4][5] to explain experimental observations that
did not fit the classical wave model of light. In particular, the photon
model accounted for the frequency dependence of light's

that is taken from he
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

And, while that is indeed a neat "concept" and depends on einsteins
"gravitational ether", it is not the protons which are real and NOT a
concept ...

As I pointed out in "Newtons Balls of Force", the energy imparted to the

a wave and particles ...

Radio frequencies only have properties of a wave ...

I think the idea of the ether is that it does not violate the concept
of a vacuum, the latter of which is merely devoid of mass. Obviously,
a vacuum can be, and usually is, full of energy in the form of
radiation. The ether, to an electromagnetic "wave," is supposedly the
electromagnetic equivalent of an ocean of water through which
mechanical waves travel. It does not add anything that would negate
the no-mass-dependent vacuum of space.

While I am not in the "ether" camp, in defense of the concept, there
*is* a hypothetical construct that may be real, which I alluded to
elsewhere, known to me as the "quantum background," which pervades all
of the universe, quite possibly *outside* of the universe as well,
which could constitute an ether-like fabric. I don't know much about
it, other than that it is a constantly bubbling stew of virtual
particles that appear and disappear very quickly, and that it may be
responsible for the outpouring of energy at the moment of the Big Bang.
It may also be the "carrier" of quantum waves - but that is getting
well beyond my own knowledge base.

For what it is worth, one very important type of wave that has yet to
be solidly documented is the gravity wave, the "long wave" of the
cosmic spectrum. It is not exactly an EM wave, but also not exactly a
mechanical wave, yet it has connections to both worlds. It is a major
key to the Holy Grail of cosmology, the "Theory of Everything" that
unifies all the basic forces of the universe. Its attendant quantum
particle is the graviton, and a weird thing it must be if it connects
us to our planet, among other things. Long story short, it is unclear
what kind of medium this wave would traverse, if in fact it traverses a
medium at all.

Enough about that...

Energy sets up a field around an antenna. It alternates at some
rate[s] per second but there are no waves that I know of.

Brian Denley December 21st 06 04:31 AM

What Albert Einstein said about Radio.
 
No there is no difference; they are both electromagnetic radiation but with
differing wavelengths. They both move at the speed of light and they obey
the same principles (Maxwell's equations). Radio waves are also 'photons'
and have both wave and particle behavior.

BTW, as someone else posted Michaelson and Morley (in one of the most
amazing leaps of knowlege ever taken by man) dispelled the ether myth at the
end of the 19th century when they measued the speed of light exactly the
same whether the observer was moving towar the source or away from it. This
measurements would have been different if there was an 'ether' for the
'waves to move through'.
