it solves linear wave equation

3d wave equation

Yes, many things nothing to do with the aether solve a wave equation

the ether implies wave equation

wave equation is basicly the ether

No, basic maths implies the wave equation

No it's not at all

so what does the ether imply?

That's obviously completely untrue. Is a wave in a pool due to the aether?

The fact that waves can exist in an aether, does not mean waves cannot exist without an aether

you do know the ether is the idea that there is a medium that transmitts the waves right?

Yes

That transmits waves of light

Not any wave

Einstien did away with the Ether

^ Kevin is right there, a stopped clock is right twice a day

someone was saying that was where he made a mistake, you need a medium for light to move thru

just because that is an assertion I saw doesn't make it right or wrong

I did no thought into it other than to note the assertion

so give me an experement that implies an ether

actually tell me what an ether actually means

A medium for the propagation of light is what the aether actually means.

yes

altho its simpler than that because all you can tell is that there is a medium but cant tell what the medium actually is

the properties of the medium are up for question tho

No, it is not simpler than that.

ok

The aether is a medium for the propagation of light, not anything else.

ok

so how would you know there is a medium?

Water, a medium for propagation of water waves, is not an aether.

ok tell me how you would know there is a medium?

You would know there is a medium by seeing what there being a medium predicts, and testing it and seeing if this matches experiment. If it does not match experiment, there isn't a medium.

It's been tested, it does not match experiment.

that depends on the properties of the medium tho

lorents ether theory simply states that the ether is a motionless medium that follows the wave equation

Every aether model, does not match experiment.

false

lorents ether theory simply states that the ether is a motionless medium that follows the wave equation

Lorentz's aether model states a **lot** more assumptions than that, and regardless, does not match experiment.

the wave equation has properties that allow those results

The medium also does not follow the wave equation.

Propagations in it do.

dont be that picky with what i say

... No, if you say something untrue I will correct it.

the medium follows the wave equation

i will stand by that because you know what i mean by that

No, it does not.

I know what you mean by that, I also know what that means.

What you mean by that, is not what that means.

in the first 8 minutes of this globe busters video they talk about math not matching reality

ok what does it actually mean when i say that?

When you say that it means exactly what it says. The medium follows the wave equation.

It doesn't. Propagations in the medium do.

tell me what it means instead of stating what i said

It means exactly what it says.

The medium follows the wave equation.

i dont see a problem with that

There isn't any simpler to put it. The medium does not follow the wave equation, propagations in it do.

i donmt see a difrence

exsept my way is more general

I don't see how you can't see a difference. Your way is not more general.

e.g. waves in a pool follow the wave equation. The pool does not.

This is very straightforward.

A propagation in a medium, is not the medium.

any states of the medium thru time follo0w the wave equation

the wave equation has no consept of propogation

....

the wave equation = u_xx=u_tt

.... Yes, I know.

this seems to be a problem of semantics

and its not an important one

thats why i said dont be picky

No, it does not, it seems to be a problem with you not understanding what you're talking about

iits a problem with you not willing to drop it and move on

as its not important

Ok we'll drop that you're talking nonsense and don't have a clue about what the aether is and move on then

this is a particle moving at 0.707 the speed of light

to the right

you simply apply the lorentz transformations and it remains a solution to teh wave equation

(i use a modified version of the wave equation tho to render this)

the wave equation i perfer is iu_t=u_xx

yes it does break the symmetry but so does adding more dimentions

... I thought we were dropping this nonsense you don't understand?

i cant drop something i dident pickup

i dident pickup nonsense

im not advocating ether as a theory

im simply saying its not contradictory

with relativity

(special relativity)

and that relativities origins came from ether

Yes, I have agreed with an exceptionally convoluted and unnatural model of the aether you can predict the same results as special relativity. But add in gravitation, and even very unnatural aether models can't fit the results.

true

well actually i dont know

there are ether theories that are consistent with general relativity but so far ive heard its convoluted

unless its convoluted in its derivation process

There aren't aether theories that are consistent with general relativity

i personaly think in science its more lijkely true if its foundations are simpler not its derived predictions

altho they are less usefull
