Of
course the theory of relativity has a tremendous amount of experimental support, and it's
hard to imagine that we can actually go back. to a pre-Einstein position
without contradicting some of this experimental support. Do you think
it's actually possible?
John
Bell:
Well, what is not sufficiently emphasized in
textbooks, in my opinion, is that the pre-Einstein position of Lorentz and
Poincare, Larmor and Fitzgerald was perfectly coherent, and is not inconsistent
with relativity theory. The idea that there is an vacuum, and these Fitzgerald
contractions and Larmor dilations occur, and that as a result the instruments
do not detect motion through the ether - that is a perfectly coherent point of
view.
And it was abandoned on grounds of elegance?
Well, on
the grounds of philosophy; that what is unobservable does not exist. And also
on grounds of simplicity, because Einstein found that the theory was both more
elegant and simpler when we left out the idea of the ether. I think that the
idea of the ether should be taught to students as a pedagogical device, because
I find that there are lots of problems, which are solved more easily by
imagining the existence of an ether. But that's another story. The reason I
want to go back to the idea of an ether here is because in these EPR
experiments there is the suggestion that behind the scenes something is going
faster than light. Now, if all Lorentz frames are equivalent, that also means
that things can go backward in time.

Yes, and
that is the big problem.
It introduces great problems, paradoxes of
causality and so on. And so it's precisely to avoid these that I want to say
there is a real causal sequence which is defined in the ether. Now the mystery
is, as with Lorentz and Poincare, that this nvacuum does not show up at the
observational level. It is if there is some kind of conspiracy that something is going on behind
the scenes, which is not allowed to appear on the scenes. And I agree that
that's extremely uncomfortable.
Basil Hiley
In our
theory we use the foregoing dissident Aether theory. The explanation for the conspiracy is given by the Photon transition at
3 cm, together with the oscillating Higgs-virgin vacuum (full of zero-point
energy ), gives the explanation! (see also the introduction)

So the motion of the electron isn't forced upon it by the quantum
potential. The potential just carries the information to tell the electron
how to move?
Basil Hiley,
Yes,
it's an information potential. The more traditional way in physics is to think that the electron is
pushed-around by the field, just as water waves can push a ship around. The
quantum potential doesn't work like that, because you can actually multiply the
field by a constant and it doesn't change the force on the particle. So it's
not an ordinary classical force pushing the electron around.
This quantum potential seems to be quite unlike anything we have encountered before in physics. Indeed,
it seems to be rather remarkable. If we think of the electron as being like the
ship, moving; under the guidance of the information carried by this
potential, it rather makes the electron seem a bit like a super-computer. Can
we really imagine that such a simple thing as an electron, which is
supposed to be structure less and have no internal parts, can respond in
such a complicated way?
page: 139
When I
first began to think about this idea, I remember that Richard Feynman had
already pre-empted us in saying that he thought of a point in spacetime as
being like a computer with an input and output connecting neighbouring points. The
point would have a memory for all the fields and particles that are possible
and would actually act like a computer. So he has each point in spacetime
acting like a computer. I am only suggesting that the electron may act
like a computer !
Of course
present experiments, fail to reveal any structure within the electron
down to a distance of about 10-16 centimeters. But remember we've still got to
go down to gravitational length which are about 10-33 Centimeters, so there's
still room for a lot of structure, even though it is going to be rather small
on our scale.
Page: 140
But you
seem to be saying that the quantum potential tells the electron how it's got to
zig-zag about, but we can't find any motive power to cause the
zig-zagging. We always have the zero point energy. We know the vacuum
state is actually full of energy, and the theory exploits that energy.
