Two Types of Aether
James Maxwell modeled light as waves, and required for this an aether to propagate the waves. However, ever since the discovery of the photon, there has not been any need
The Aether as a Standing Wave
An aether of zero-point particles will have the overall behavior of a very high frequency standing wave. This is because the photons and neutrinos that make up the aether will constantly bump into each other. Since these particles have similar…
Pilot Waves vs. Wavelengths
The standard explanation for how Faraday cages work is that the metal mesh from which it is constructed will let through only those photons with sufficiently small wavelengths to fit through the openings. Wavelengths If a photon has a long…
