To: xxxxxxx "Re: Evidence of the Existence of the Aether" 04 Jan 2004 1100:00:00 GMT Hi, as we saw above, Hafele and Keating's eastward-flown cesium atomic-beam clocks lost 59 nano secs, while the westward clocks gained 273 nanosecs (w.r.t stationary clocks). Details at http://pages.sbcglobal.net/webster.kehr/Chapters/Chapter030-H-K.htm Results agree with most Relativity theories and with Ether theories. As does the Michelson-Morley experiment see http://www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/experiment.txt So, does a deciding factor - a CLINCHER - exist? Yes - Instantaneous transfer of Info (I.x.I) or Far Faster than Light (f.f.t.l) transfer of _anything_ is forbidden by all Relativity theories but _demanded_ by one Ether Theory (U.E.F Theory). See http://www.perceptions.couk.com/blinded.html#pairs From that we can infer there _is_ an Ether [or "quintessence"], so far f.t.l that it can be regarded as "instantaneous" throughout the Universe. best regards Ray D --------------------------------------------- FURTHER REFERENCES GO - "search perceptions" - in SEARCH-ENGINE file-ID www.perceptions.couk.com/uef/ether.txt
