These entities can (and do) violate accepted physical laws.<br>--::--<br><br><br>Now when we describe a "field" using of vector theory in continuum fluid dynamics approximation, we fundamentally describe what used to be called a "Physical field of force". A "field" which is described using mathematics in such a way that the causes and effects of the "force" are fully accounted for because they are described in terms of (parameters of) a physical fluid-like medium.<br><br>However, mathematically, a "field" *can* also be defined, without also defining how the cause and effects of the force are actually transmitted or propagated trough a medium with defined properties.<br><br>As an example, we can consider Quantum Field Theory, which is based on "gauge" theory or "gauge freedom"::<br><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory</a><br>-:-<br>Gauge freedom<br><br>A gauge theory is a theory that admits a symmetry with a local parameter.

I posted my latest paper which explains in much more<br>> detail, with formulae etc, a few days ago. Happy to take questions.<br><br></div><div>So, you start out at:<br></div><div><br></div><div>a) one type of fundamental particle/anti-article;<br>b) two types of energy ("mass" and "charge");<br></div><div>c) three dimensions of space.</div><div><br></div><div>Now the two types of energy are described using "fields", but these are NOT "physical fields of force" as I defined them above, because they are described in terms of "<b>fluctuations of other fields</b>" and not in terms of fluctuations in a medium.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Your mass and charge fields are defined as fluctuations of (overlapping) "particle - anti-particle" pairs.<br></div><div><br>For these pairs, "loops" are defined, which represent <b>rotation</b>, whereby the two particles making up the "pair" chase one another, with a certain angular rotation velocity., which can be related to a frequency (f) (by dividing by 2*pi). <br><br>Also, a certain mass (m) is associated with such a loop. So, a loop has a unit of measurement in [kg radians/sec], or in [kg/sec].<br><br></div><div>And, since a photon is an electron chasing a positron (or vice versa) at c, a certain charge (Q) is also associated with a (second?) loop. So, this (second?) loop has a unit of measurement in [Coulomb rad/sec] of [C/s].<br><br></div><div>So, your "charge" field is defined using a frequency (f), which corresponds to the same frequency by which you define your "mass" field. In other words: both of your fields are defined as fluctuations (with a frequency f) of a "deeper" field, described as consisting of "overlapping particle - anti-particle pairs", each having a certain mass (m) and a certain (elemental) charge (e).<br></div><div><br></div><div>In other words:<br><br></div><div>Your "mass" field defines the "mass density" rho [kg/m3] in the field in terms of oscillations with a certain frequency (f) of a number of elemental "pairs" each having a mass m.

field in terms of oscillations with a certain frequency (f) of a number
of elemental "pairs" each having a charge e.

aether level 3 is an ANALOGY of "water", which is why you can use WATER
as an ANALOGY for studying and defining ANY kind of structures you can
observe in between the waters and air all around us and even observe in
events and signals from all over the Universe, the COSMOS.<br><br><br>This
means that, using water as an ANALOGY, I can explain "charge" and
"magnetism" by using an ANALOG computer simulation. And since the electron is considered to be a vortex ring, we can use this analog "simulation":<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/pnbJEg9r1o8">https://youtu.be/pnbJEg9r1o8</a><br><br>I call this a simulation on an analog computer. :)<br><br>Can you say: an electron propagating along the surface of two media with a distinctly different density?<br><br>Notice that the structure propagates perpendicular with respect to the line going trough both of the black dots?<br><br>Well, there we have our 90 degree angle between the vortex ring and it's propagation direction. And notice that angle can be both + and - 90 degrees, hence we now have understood the difference between + and - charges.<br><br><br></div><div>In other words: I argue that it's not enough to be able to reproduce the particles and effects in the Standard Model, but that we need to understand what charge IS before we can make a proper and complete model and that the consideration of the electron being a vortex ring yields the understanding we will need.<br></div><div><br><br></div><div>So, I agree that you (and Ilja) have shown that it is possible to "produce all the particles and effects we observe" by essentially re-arranging the field concepts currently described in the standard model and tie them to two separately postulated elementary concepts: "charge" and "mass", which are subsequently considered to represent "intrinsic" properties of "particles" like the electron.<br></div><div><br></div><div>According to the WP, this is exactly the root of problems which causes the need for "renormalization" in Quantum Field Theory:<br><br><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory#Renormalization">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory#Renormalization</a><br>"Many of these problems are related to <b>failures in classical electrodynamics</b> that were <b>identified but unsolved in the 19th century</b>, and they basically stem from the fact that <b>many

Without a fundamental consideration of an (aetheric) *structure* which could explain what charge IS, you unavoidably introduce such "self-referencing recursive loops" at the logic level into your model.<br></div><div><br></div><div>As far as I can tell from the WP articles, the latter can only be done using "gauge" theory. So you end up with a model containing not only self-referencing recursive logic loops, but also relying on the existence of a certain amount of "gauge freedom" to be present within the model. <br></div><div><br></div><div>In other words: the only way to prevent such self-referencing recursive loops to enter your model, is to derive your equations directly from the *two* fundamental *physical* field of force we can define in continuous approximation, starting out with the *single* postulate that "quanta" or "elemental particles" which each have a certain mass (m) and a certain velocity [v], exist:<br><br></div><div>a) the vector aether flow velocity field [v] at each point in 3D space [x];<br>b) the scalar mass density field rho at each point in 3D space [x],<br><br>whereby we know these fields have no "gauge freedom", since all energy within the system is fully accounted for by these two fundamental physical fields of force.<br></div><div><br><br>><br>> On Dec 15 2016, Tufail Abbas wrote:<br>><br>> *I would be greatful, if the proposer of the aether theory could answer to<br>> couple of questions as below*<br>><br>><br>> *>>>>>>>>All of space is filled with a fluid-like substance called aether,*<br>> *which can, in first approximation, be modeled as an ideal,*<br>> *frictionless, compressible fluid in continuum fluid dynamicsapproximation.*<br>><br>> *Are the properties (that has mentioned above) of the proposed aether<br>> isotropic?*<br><br></div><div>Well, it depends on the situation one is considering.<br><br></div><div>As you can see, the mass density field (rho) is defined as one of the fundamental fields of force in our model.

An example could be (Platonic solid) crystals and electrons. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The electron is considered to be a single toroidal vortex ring.
