When Nickola Tesla invented the car that ran on the Ether, what was it actually powered by?
What about rows -1 and lower? Could an antimatter periodic table be mirrored on the top, and would this have predictive power for antimatter chemistry?
The experiment showed, amongst other things, that there was no detectable movement of the earth around the sun at all, and Einstein was unable to show that it did move at all. His special theory of relativity was put together to counter the idea of a stationary earth, which was considered too controversial for supporters of Copernicus.
Great video, but one thing I’m still struggling with is: why does the fact that the speed of light is always the same mean there is no such thing as an ether? Wouldn’t it just mean that it is wrong that the ether impacts how light travels
because the ether is supposed to be the medium that light travels in, so like a sound wave in air they expected to find that motion of the ether would affect the waves of it... They thought that the Sun or tthe center of the galaxy or whatever might cause tides in that medium and thus affect the light. But really you are right, all that MM experiment shows is that there is no ether 'wind' direction on the surface of the earth. I have heard it mentioned in somewhat esoteric physics books that if they made the apparatus much larger and tipped it on its side they might have found something, a small ethereal wind effect of gravity.
but if a photon moves at the speed of light and they already proved that through some transparent materials they can slow down the photons to have them almost steady, it means that the speed of light it is not always constant or not? then why there cannot be an ether? Einstein was a good mathematician but Tesla was a great scientist and he believed in the eater
Whats that outtro music?
found it years ago on the royalty/license free list in the YT studio. Pretty sure it is still there if you are willing to spend some time searching.
Great videos mate, really enjoyed your lectures on organic chemistry too!
Thanks, man. I appreciate the kind words. If you are interested in organic, don't forget to check out my Great Courses project from 2013 as well.
Nice history lesson. It seems like their faith back than required it to exist despite it was at best an hypothesis. As well you can not obviously an negative number of particles. I guess the closest thing is an anti-atom as that is the inverse in the QFs such as anti-hydrogen but in practice its basically is the same thing just opposite charge. What wasn't known back than which you missed which is chemistry in practice is an subbranch of particle physics that deals with the study of atoms and likewise how they interact. The only reason I feel why it is treated as an different field than physics is because of the historical one but in practice it is the same field.
Technically, you could put a neutron in there somewhere. But then you'd need to add proton and all the mesons and ... and... Would be nice to see the whole subatomic particle zoo alongside the periodic table. The diversity in subatomics is large.
indeed. the periodic table loses focus at the sub-atomic level, because it is after all organized based on atomic structure. Only elements are atoms, and the remarkable order of this little niche of the study of matter will always have a special place. that doesn't make it the only place of interest, just possibly the most remarkable.
Can't imagine how that sort of chart should be organized but hydorgen should be somewhere in the middle of it.
Michaelson Morley also said that his experiment showed that the earth's movement around the sun was effectively nill.
Couldn't there be an ether that is allways still undependently to the speed of the obeserver?
I have literally fought people over the concept of an aether
Tell me what you think about it
I think it has validity
Especially in concepts like dark matter and fuzzy strings
Ps have you seen the Modified michelson morley experiment done by the US airforce
They basically put it on a gyro and spin the entire apparatus while the aperture is fixed in place and it gives wonderful results
Maybe "element 0" is space itself, with its own properties, pressure and density.
I think element zero is Light.
Light is Lucifer, Lucifer is Phosphorus. I think the Aether is Light.
So I wonder if zero point energy is when you remove or borrow energy from the light projections in your area? Maybe by finding out the exact frequency they emit then tapping into the potential energy they posses somehow?
