Ethereal Mea Culpa

Preface explains purpose of the essay. Briefly lay out support of wave theory of light. Take some swipes at Einstein and Newton. Chapter 1 briefly goes over the history of the problem from Ancient Greece to modern times. We attack Democritus, Aristotle and Newton. We take issue with Einstein's photoelectric theory of quanta and propose going back to Fitzgerald supposition for explanation of Michelson-Morley. Chapter 2 discusses the microcosm of the ether and elements. We note that sufficiently small, light, hard and densely packed ether particles will allow light to pass rapidly and planets to pass along their orbits without recourse to a rigid ether. We suggest twisting concepts of subatomic world to find answers to black body anomalies. Chapter 3 goes over my ideas on gravitation, the liquid nature of electrons and liquid nature of current. Chapter 4 states that both the torque created by the Fitzgerald effect and the motion of the planets through the ether can be immediately returned to angular momentum within the impacted, twisted items, allowing the same energy to remain within the arms of an interferometer on the one hand, and to cycle through to push planets through the ether. This is all done briefly without detailed mathematical explanations. I express regret at spending time on photon suppositions of any kind and apologize for past essays that attempted to posit the photon.
