Abstract: Although 20th century scientific philosophy has sought to banish
the aether and outlaw it from our modern civilisation, that effort has
failed. The great contributions of philosophers of earlier centuries,
giving us recognition of the aether, and notably by Rene Descartes,
live on, nothwithstanding acceptance of the four-space notions of the
theory of relativity. The aether remains the essential fabric of
space, the canvas on which Nature has painted the glorious picture of
the world and the universe we see around us. This paper will simply
point to one scientific phenomenon which reveals a direct
manifestation of the aether and shows us how to tap into its power.
This paper also provides a bibliographic listing of this author's 20th
century discoveries concerning the aether, this being research which
has been published in spite of the opposition by those who prefer to
accept the virtual reality images which stem from Einstein's
doctrines. The key property of the real aether is its universal
rhythm, its universal time keeping, as enforced by a phase-lock
between its quantum properties. This property is manifested by aether
in rotation because the phase-lock involves one-way energy transfer
from aether to matter in company with an electric charge induction by
rotation, neither of which feature in Einstein's vision of the
properties of space.
