What Albert Einstein said about Radio.
 
''You see,wire telegraph is a kind of a very,very long cat.You pull his
tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.Do you
understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way; you send
signals here,they receive them there.The only difference is there is no
cat''

Well, although in 1925 Einstein denied existence of the ether, in 1929
he reneged and accepted the existence of the ether. Without the ether
no electromagnetic wave could traverse what we know as space.

Cat = ether, when it comes to radio (or, ether performs the same service
for radio waves as a telegraph wire does for the dc signal of the
telegraph.)

I suppose you are going to claim our antennas can shoot out protons
across the expanse of space? That radio waves are nothing but a myth?

Educate yourself, waves need a medium to propagate in; of course,
shooting photons are like bullets and don't!

Surely you are joking. LOL!

Buddy, if you are claiming radio waves transverse the universe without a
medium, your IQ is zero.

Wikipedia is wrong. Probably why some say not to believe everything you
read on the internet.

Of course, your radio probably receives protons rather than waves, you
must be a true genius to have figured out how to do that!

It amazes me that so many are so ignorant to the matter, and that sheer

Strike a tuning fork and you hear the sound of the fork vibrating in
your ears. This is because earths atmosphere serves as a medium for the
propagation of the sound waves. In space, you hear no sound ...

Toss a stone in a pond and you see waves, that is because water serves
as a medium to propagate the waves.

Now, you and I both know radio signals DO traverse space. And, if there
is no medium which propagates the "radio waves", then we need to rewrite
some books here. Especially covering how to build antennas capable of
receiving "radio protons."

In 1915 Einstein began denying the ether, in a lecture in 1929 he
reneged and stated the ether exists. Most catch the 1915+ lectures and
miss the 1929 lecture. Indeed, material on that lecture has been ignored.

The ether exists, only idiots would deny that ...

OK. I will take the time to explain this to you. If your antenna DOES
NOT emmanate waves into the ether, then it must shoot sub-atomic

So, stay away from your antenna idiot! Laughing Out Loud!

================================================== ====
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.

I don't think John Smith read the entire section on Ether...you need to
update your Physics book to the late 20th Century. Ether is considered
a non-issue in modern physics theories.



"Today, the majority of physicists hold that there is no need to
imagine that a medium for light propagation exists. They believe that
neither Einstein's general theory of relativity nor quantum mechanics
have need for it and that there is no evidence for it. As such, a
classical aether is an unnecessary addition to physics that violates
the principle of Occam's razor.

Moreover, it is hard to develop an aether theory that is consistent
with all experiments of modern physics. Any new theory of aether must
be consistent with all of the experiments testing phenomena of special
relativity, general relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics, and so
on. As outlined earlier, these conditions are often contradictory,
making such a task inherently difficult.

Nevertheless the intuitive appeal of a causal background for
"relativistic" effects cannot be denied. Some physicists hold that
there remain a number of problems in modern physics that are simplified
by an aether concept, so that Occam's razor doesn't apply."

I trust "Newton's Balls of Force" can still be found in high school
physics labs. I trust most have seen how energy can travel through the
balls as a "wave" and only the end balls will swing free in an effort to
"dispel" the energy which is imparted to the device.

In much the same way, tesla described the "travel" of "radio waves" in
the ether. It is true, einsteins "gravitational ether" does seem to
break occam's razor, true physicists ponder these things ... however,
present theory depends on a medium for waves to travel in, otherwise
"radio waves" are a myth, if that is what you claim--so be it ...

John Smith,
You seem to be consumed by this ether subject yet you give no current
references, only historical data from the early 1920's. You seem to
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

No, photons.


It's a particle that has no mass, yet it can impart momentum and it
travels through space or air in a transverse wave motion but it is not a
wave and it has no charge but it carries the force of electromagnetic
fields as it travels through space.

I'm sticking with Maxwell for now.

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.

When you deal with mechanical waves, you must provide a medium for them
to propagate. Quanta are different, and do not always conform in
obvious analogous ways to mechanical waves. There is a hypothetical
all-pervasive quantum background that seems to be the source of the
characteristics of quanta, but this does not equate to an ether.

I am not an expert in quantum theory or relativity by any means, I just
have some educational background in quantum/radiation physics, and I
love astronomy and cosmology...and one tends to absorb information
about beloved subjects.
