The Void, the Aether and David Hilbert’s Infinity Paradox

Voids are infinities of nothing. They have no attributes. They have no dimensions, no shape nor form of their own. From this alone, we know that space is not a void. Space can be measured. It has dimensions.

Furthermore, in aether physics, space is composed of particles. That gives space all sorts of characteristics.

Aether particles transmit forces, and they conduct electricity when sufficiently stressed.

The void

However, the fact that empty space is something other than a void doesn’t reduce the void to mere philosophy with no bearing on physics.

This is especially true if everything, including space, is made up of particles.

Because, any gaps between fundamental particles must be voids. So, there are little voids everywhere, unless aether particles constantly change their shape to perfectly fill the gaps between them.

The aether

All aether particles move at the speed of light. So, the neat packaging that is possible with stationary particles is not possible with the aether.

Gaps between particles must constantly change in shape and size in order to accommodate for motion. So, we end up with tiny infinites everywhere. Their sizes and shapes constantly changing.

This may sound like a contradiction. But David Hilbert discusses this at length in his infinity paradox. He proves mathematically that some infinities are larger than others. So, nothing stops an infinity from changing its size.

We have mathematical support for our position.

Conclusion

This opens for the use of exotic math in order to describe the aether.

This might in turn explain why aether particles inside a given reference frame move at the same speed as all other aether particles.

We may get better ways to describe surface textures of particles, and how such textures can span gaps between particles, which in turn can explain quantum entanglements.

A great deal of weirdness may in this way be made more understandable.
