[General] The New Aether

[Richard Gauthier]

Hello John and others,
   Just as a comparison, I think that you and others will find that your proposal of an energy density of about 10^113 joules/m^3 for spacetime will be seen as quite modest compared to my proposed energy density of the very early universe (consisting of a single proposed quantum particle—following Lemaitre's proposal of a primordial quantum atom for the very early universe to a logical conclusion) of about 10^361 joules/m^3 (please see the attached powerpoint slide 10 used at my 2013 APS presentation in Denver on this topic). This cosmological model is based on my superluminal quantum model of the photon, which I think you may also appreciate due to the superluminal aspects of your own photon model. There is an accompanying article at https://www.academia.edu/4429777/A_Transluminal_Energy_Quantum_Model_of_the_Cosmic_Quantum <https://www.academia.edu/4429777/A_Transluminal_Energy_Quantum_Model_of_the_Cosmic_Quantum>  if you are interested.
    with best wishes,
        Richard

But you also say that it is a vortex, with angular momentum, which, in my mind, conjures up a notion of circulating fields instead of the standing wave model. Circulating fields, when viewed from any point external to the model, contain an advancing and a retreating wave component as well. But it seems the two models are not compatible.  Thoughts?

In particular, I would like to call your attention to section 2 of this paper starting on page 2 and finishing on page 4.  Many parts of this paper were inspired by this group, but particularly this section 2. The message has come through loud and clear that no one else believes that spacetime can have the energy density that I propose.  This section addresses that point.  I also like the quote contained in the first paragraph.  I think that it sets the stage for the rest of the paper.
