from an article by H.C. Dudley, Ph.D. in The Psychic Observer,
January-March 1978:
"The term ETHER appeared in textbooks of physics to as
late as 1932, postulating the existence of some, undefinable mechanism
for the transmission of heat, light, magnetism and radio signals,
all of which may be accomplished in a perfect vacuum.
It was stated "It appears wise to continue to use the word
ETHER, at least denoting the power of space, vacant or occupied
by matter, to transmit radiation." Particularly note
the words "vacant or occupied by matter. It is this
45-year-old quotation that forms the basis for this paper..."
"The modern development of an ether concept began in 1951
when Dirac, (Nobel laureate in theorectical physics, 1933) posed
the question, "Is there an Ether?" as the title of a
paper. He answered in the affirmative, developing the concept
of an essentially-isotropic sea of electrons in random motion.
Debroglie (Nobel laureate in theorectical physics, 1929) postulated
a "subquantic medium" in 1959. Later he characterized
this medium "as a gas made up of leptons and probably neutrinos."
During the past decade there has been developing in astrophysics
the concept of a generalized "neutrino sea." This flux
of uncharged particles arises from the nuclear reactions in the
myriad of nearly randomly-distributed stars. This subject is extensively
reviewed in the "Cosmic Neutrino" by B. Kuclowicz.
The "subquantic medium" or "neutrino sea"
has been defined as an energy-rich substrate, the common denomination
in all particle reactions..."
(Note: The author cites energy density estimates for the neutrino
sea as high as
10,000,000,000,000,000,000 electron volts per cubic centimeter,
with a particle
density of approximately 1,000,000,000,000 particles per cubic
centimeter.)
"Therefore, it is suggested that the technology resulting
from reorganization of our thinking with respect to the energy-rich
particulate flux in which we exist will lead to many practical
developments. Among these is electrical power transmission, with
power losses approaching zero, at more manageable temperatures
that at present."
