What you suggested is more practical of course. The source I'm
talking
about is Bohm Implicate Order. But it's ok if you don't take that as
possibility.
Let's go of the Aether. Aether was postulated to explore a possible
privilege frame of reference. But Special Relativity has proven
everything esp. motion is relative. So the Aether is already
destroyed.
Aether and Special Relativity are opposite. Since Special Relativity
wins, the Aether loses. So there is no Aether.
You are completely wrong. Aether has only lost the position to hold as
a FOR.
EM waves need a medium, otherwise they can't propagate.
I assume a lot of people are thinking in math only and forget the
phys. priciples as a
condition sine qua non.
The Aether has at minimum the characteristic 377 Ohm or Z_o if you
like.

Neither, actually, Bilge, since the Lorentz transformation results
in mathematical lack of simultaneity which does NOT match the
universe we are studying.
Actually, it does. Every experiment done to date has
confirmed that the Lorentz transform is a true representation
of the physics of the universe. If you say otherwise, please
provide a cite to a peer reviewed experiment that demonstrates
it.
No, Greg, it doesn't look:

Simultaneity is an observer dependent thing, and should

the finite speed of light.

Two widely separated switches wired in series to a power supply and a
mountain of dynamite and each set to spring and make contact
momentarily at about the same time. If multiple observers in multiple
frames cannot agree upon whether the switches made contact
simultaneously or not, can they agree on whether the dynamite blew?

Hint 2: Do the various observers Need_to_See the switches closing

the speed of light was much higher than the speed of

The aether does not ondulate, it doesn't move, what ondulates are two
fields, one electric and the other magnetic, and they do it at speed
'c'.

EM waves need a medium, otherwise they can't propagate.
No, EM waves require no medium. See Maxwell's Equations.
If they did, Relativity would not work re the constant
speed of light for all observers.
EM requires a medium.
No. Stop confusing the newbies. If space contained such a
medium then it would have mechanical properties and provide a
preferred rest frame. The whole gammut of tests for such a
medium came up nil, up to and including Michelson-Morley.
Free-space *does* have mechanical properties. What pushes
a positive charge pulls a negative charge. That isn't confusing.
It is an important distinction from acoustic waves.
Right, that's where force lines come from.
MMX was null so is irrelevant. "Newbie" grasp this just
fine if you don't confuse them with Newton's 'corpuscles'.
If you do, they end up deranged like Androcles and Henri.
If we want to enhance the path between a pair of computers
we don't evacuated the space. We fill it with glass or copper.
Now you're confusing waveguides with space.
What kind of space do you mean? Is it 377 ohms?
If so we ~confuse~ (impedance match? ) them all
the time.

Force lines are a metaphor for the isopotents of the
given field. They have no basis in a mechanical aether.
If free space has mechanical properties, what is its
stiffness (can't have transverse wave propagation without
a rigid material)? It must be huge for it to carry waves
at the speed of light. What is its Young's modulus? How
about shear strength? Density? How can all these
disparate mechanical properties required to serve the
purpose of a medium for light propagations be reconciled
with null experimental results for its detection?

Very simple.
1. MMX gave a null result. To state from that "there is no Aether" is
wrong
You can only say: "It has not the property to carry EM waves like
light we thought"
2. A medium is needed for the propagation of EM waves
Evidence: A moving charge creates a magnetic field. How can "no
Aether" be a carrier for the E and H field propagating and have 377
Ohm =sqrt(my_o/epsilon_o)?
If you can show me what other physical basic principle allows
propagation of an EM wave leaving the antenna/transmitter I will thank
you very much and I have learned something.
But pls avoid Maxwells equations, they say nothing about the transport
principle, only what are the rules for the transport, e.g. propagating
with c.

Then it ceases to have *any* function at all, and by

That's not evidence for a medium any more than it is for
a mass translating through space.

The only conclusion was as yours above.
That's too simple in my view. Aether seems to be more complex, but you
passed it to Occam.

Huygan's principle, for example.
I've found behind only the Navier-Stokes equations and I can't find
how this can be applied for EM.
But nevertheless this fluid behaves as a FOR, so it can't serve as
that medium I'm searching for.
What I'm searching for is a medium that can transport EM fields
(oscillating charges).
The best I've found for me to date is that.:
EM leaving the transmitter with c is time dilated and the universe for
EM looks like a point, so it's no wonder that it is, acc. to it's
clock if it would have one, at the receiver in zero time.
For the transceicing process with c from transm. to reic. (our frame)
c = const. because c takes the role of an infinite speed. What EM does
on the way is not detectable. On basis of that, one can say "no Aether
nec.". As it is detected the process of propagation has stopped. So
may be my search for a medium is superfluous when no solution is nec.
for the EM in it's frame with no dimensions.
I have problems with coordinate transformation, if one frame is zero,
apart of mass.

Between Aequator and pole you have 90=B0 already. It makes no
difference.
Also on other places you may have 90=B0 inbetween. Never a difference
was found.

Even if there were a flow perpendicular to the Earth's surface,
the Earth moves through space. Unless all of the aether in

would be aberration effects.

You would never see a relative movement of the earth through ether if
the ether is a fluid/gas systematically attracted by a mass.

I don't see how that's possible. What do you mean by
"systematically attracted"? There's some process or
mechanism that governs the attraction that conspires
to hide aberrations? If it's a flow due to attraction,
wouldn't the flow rate be greater heading into the
'wind' then away from it?

If any mass attracts ether, then the Earth would attract ethet, and the
ether flow would be perpendicular to the earth surface. right?

That's right. The flow should be stronger while you approach the surface
of the Earth.

Well, that's just what the Michelson Morely experiment
*didn't* find. No aether wind.

The MMX was designed to measure an aether wind parallel to the surface
of the earth, not perpendicular to it.
You need one vertical arm and one horizontal arm to measure a
perpendicular flow. I've never seen that kind of set up.
Still looking for one.

In order for there to be no* sideways drift, the
direction of flow would have to be always radial
no matter that the Earth is moving through space
(and constantly changing direction to boot).
That would imply that the entire expanse of the
aether in space is pinned to the motion of the
Earth. That is rather implausible.

Yes and it would be the case If ether is attracted by any mass. May be a
scheme would help:
http://nachon.free.fr/asp-ether.png
The ether flow would always be radial to any mass.
