Yes. There is no "ether". Radio "waves" are not really waves. Your
opinions on this are about 70 years behind the times.

ahhh. I thought so. You are the one whose antenna is firing those protons!


Not protons, photons. You are totally clueless, aren't you?

No. protons - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton

Well, unless now you are firing up the Startrek Enterprises "photon
torpedoes!"

That's because they have more supporting evidence than the "ether"!


The "ether" does have its proponents. In any event there just may may be
a measurable asymmetry to the universe.

Mike:

At least give everyone the opportunity to grieve the death of radio
waves and get used to your revelation about proton shooting antennas (oh
yeah, I forgot, your antenna shoots photon torpedoes!)

Krist. It will take awhile to redefine and rewrite all of radio theory
according to your new theory, and you know the hams are going to be
****ed when we tell 'em that radio waves are only a myth ...

LOL!!!

================================================== ====
Albert Michelson, physicist - Astounding ethereal result (1852 to 1931)

Polish American physicist born in Strelno (now Strzelno, Poland).

In 1887 Albert Michelson, funded by Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, developed the interferometer. Together with the American
chemist Edward Morley he used the interferometer to measure the speed of
light with great precision.

At that time, most scientists believed that light travelled as waves
through the ether, a substance that filled the universe. They also
believed that the Earth travelled through the ether. The
Michelson-Morley experiment measured the Earth's velocity through the
ether, and found it to be zero. This proved that the ether does not
exist! (By now, the ether was very different from those of Descartes and
Newton).

Eight years later, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity explained
this surprising result, giving weight to his revolutionary theory.
Michelson's result on the speed of light was key to Einstein's theories
of Relativity.
Michelson's results showed that there wasn't an ether - as thought by
Descartes and others.
Michelson developed ideas on the motion of the Earth from those of Foucault
With Maxwell's equations, Michelson's work led to the idea of
electromagnetic waves in free space.
