A dual approach to Aether theory

The AWT can be interpreted as a extrapolation of 1D particle theory in 10-24 dimensions (i.e. string theories) to theory of zero-dimensional particles in infinite-dimensional space-time, i.e. into Aether. The quantum gravity (QG) theory can be considered as dual quantum field theory to string theory (ST) in certain extent, while still being slightly more general then ST, being based on general relativity, instead of special relativity, like ST. Which theory should be dual to Aether theory, after then?

By my opinion the most promising candidate should be generalized geometrodynamics, introduced by J.A. Wheeler in the mid of 50th of the last century. Geometrodynamics is general relativity based concept, which describes Universe in terms of space-time deformations. If we realize, all particles in AWT are formed by Aether density fluctuations, we can say, material particles are formed by space-time curvature and whole universe can be described in terms of nested space-time curvature and acceleration instead of mass/energy density field.

From geometrodynamics theory the Universe existence follows from omni-directional Universe expansion, which in its consequence leads to the formation of local and global event horizons, i.e. particles and gravity phenomena. While the quantum mechanics neglects the expansion of probability function (wave packets of particles) due the gravity (the existence of gravity cannot be derived from quantum mechanics), a classical geometrodynamics neglects the gravitational collapse of geons into singularities due the expansion of Universe.



The omni-directional Universe expansion/collapse prohibits both the expansion of wave packets into infinity from internal perspective, both the collapse of geons into singularities from internal perspective, so we can see, the gravity is a direct manifestation of Universe expansion and the gravity force as an acceleration force at the presence of space-time curvature.

Why AWT is more general, then relativity and quantum mechanics?

The general character of AWT is given by its implicit, recursive nature, thus fulfilling the Ouroboros archetype. From AWT follows, whatever theory of your personal preference can be made nearly as general, as AWT simply by introducing of recursion concept into it, so it will obtain a fractal character of nested Aether foam. The so-called double quantization or double relativity can be considered as a first unconscious attempts to give an implicit character to existing formal theories.

But AWT still remains more general, then every fractal version of relativity or quantum mechanics or their combination, because of lower number of ad-hoced postulates required. In addition, the classical (Newtonian) character of AWT makes the Aether most symmetric and as such atemporal description of reality, i.e. stable dual brane in causal space-time of many theories possible. By AWT the character of relativity (the special relativity in particular) is given simply by fact, it describes the wave spreading from internal perspective exclusively - i.e. from perspective of the very same wave, which is serving for information spreading, while being strictly Lorentz invariance based. This introduces a causal bias into interpretation of observation.

With compare to relativity, the quantum mechanics is dual to relativity, i.e. by strictly outer perspective driven, as it always describes the energy wave spreading and space-time deforms from perspective of observer, which stays outside such deforms and it has some reference wave/frame available (i.e. it's Lorentz symmetry violation based). While the classical mechanics still enables us to describe for example the surface wave spreading both from perspective of surface wave (i.e. from relativistic perspective), both from light or sound wave perspective (the quantum mechanics approach). So we can consider the classical physics as a conceptual environment, which enables us to seamlessly reconcile the quantum mechanics and relativity by unique way with respect to correspondence principle without introduction of interpretation bias on background. And this is rather strong point of Aether concept - it can seamlessly connect the relativity and quantum mechanics on all ends of both energetic, both dimensional scales.

From the above follows, the contemporary view of classical mechanics as a special cases of both relativity, both quantum mechanics is fundamentally incorrect, as the exactly the opposite is true here: both relativity, both quantum mechanics are special, biased view of chaotic particle system, as described by classical mechanics, instead.

Why AWT forms the most general description of reality?

From general perspective, the AWT is the theory of zero-dimensional objects (i.e. particles) in infinitely-dimensional space-time. This view is apparently more general then for example string theory of one-dimensional objects in 10 to 11-dimensional space, as it doesn't introduce any arbitrary assumptions about dimensionality of space-time and/or particle structure or geometry.

For some people, AWT may appear as being dual to generalized geometrodynamics concept introduced into physics by J.A.Wheeler, because the concept of nested deformations of space-time can be transformed into concept of nested density gradients of Aether without apparent lost of information. But by my opinion, the opposite way is not possible and therefore AWT is slightly more general then every theory based on space and time concepts, because it can explain the common nature of space and time, while for geometrodynamical theory the space and time concepts remains ad-hoced, i.e. postulated quantities.

We can understand it for example by using of water surface model, which can serve as a local space-time for surface waves. AWT enables us to describe the underwater by model of chaotic environment, even though the surface waves cannot spread through it and therefore the underwater doesn't exists from surface waves perspective. We can see, AWT can describe even the behavior of environment, which cannot serve as a causal space-time at all.

Another reason for AWT priority from TOE perspective is gnoseologic. The particle concept remains the only physical concept, which is known for people for ancient times and it doesn't require any deeper explanations - with compare to space and time, whose nature is unclear without introduction of Aether concept. The people have understood the concept of particle system a much earlier, then they ever understood the space and time concept. This is because the space and time are abstract quantities with no physical attributes, so that every assumption about space-time deformation or waves tries to assign some physical attributes to abstract quantities by ad-hoced way, which is unacceptable from causal point of view. By such way, the concept of chaotic particle environment itself can serve as a TOE, because it doesn't relies upon unexplained yet artifacts, like the space and time quantities.

We should still realize, such environment is unthinkable without some time and space on background. Such environment is atemporal and void space from perspective of both radiative, both thermodynamical time arrow, because it doesn't enable both the causal energy spreading, both the further entropy increasing. The only time arrow, which persists here is the anthropocentric (psychological) one, which isn't defined and very relevant from physical point of view. Therefore the psychological time arrow is the only clue for further questions about Aether origin and existence.

Correspondence of AWT and other theories

The Aether concept as a "zero dimensional particle theory" is quite fundamental TOE and it cannot be omitted from physics due the Occam's razor and Anderson's "More is different" principle. It serves as a conceptual Newtonian mechanics based glue between relativity theory and quantum mechanics both on cosmic energy/distance scale, both on Planck scale. But the Aether multi-particle concept goes even deeper - it can help us to redefine the whole observable reality on the background of probability calculus. It's not still the ultimate approach, as it cannot explain, which the Aether is composed from and why reality exists. But if we consider, the reality exists and its composed of infinitely many pieces/units, it enables us to predict the appearance of this reality on the background of scale invariant fluctuations of such system.

The Aether Wave Theory is closely related to Constructal theory, Process Physics, Unparticle Physics and Emergence Theory - it can serve as the conceptual base of all these theories. The concept of Aether foam covers the quantum foam or spin network of LQG theory, the protosimplex lattice of Heim theory or the recent string net liquid concept. And the non-linear properties of Aether foam can reconcile the dual aspects of general relativity and quantum mechanics and quantum field theories (the free fermion models of string field theories in particular). As a particle theory the AWT is closely related to Garett's E8 group theory, because the Lie E8 group describes the tightest structure of hypersphere particles, exchanged by another particles, recursively.

If all these theories are relevant each other - as the correspondence principle requires - here must exist some common connecting point/concept and we are forced to find it, because it's unacceptable to have so many theories, which are incompatible each other. Therefore the AWT isn't limited to realm of physics, as it describes the general connections/interactions inside of all multicomponent systems, including the biology and sociology and theories of information spreading.

Aether Wave Theory Introduction

Aether Wave Theory (AWT) is chaos based model of observable Universe based on luminiferous Aether model of Rene Descartes ("Principia Philosophiae", 1642), who proposed the Aether as an inertial particle environment, capable of energy spreading in waves. It's based on the assumption, the observable reality is recursively formed by scale invariant density gradients of hypothetical particle environment - so called the Aether. It's an extrapolation of "Boltzmann brain" concept: the complexity of density fluctuations in particle system can increase with mass/energy density of this system up to level, they may be able to interact/observe it's own environment by less or more consciouss way. AWT folllows ideas of discordian monism and pantheistic solipsism.

With compare to other Aether theories, AWT uses the assumption of (supposedly infinitely) high mass/energy density of Aether, which was proposed originally by Olivier J. Lodge ("Electric Theory of Matter", Harper Magazine. 1904), but if was later abandoned on behalf of formal theories, like relativity or quantum mechanics. The dense Aether concept follows from the fact, the light of very short wavelength cannot be mediated by sparse inertial environment in transversal waves.

The physical model of AWT is based on the assumption, the only observable portion of sufficiently dense inertial environment are the density gradients/fluctuations/waves of it - by the same way, like during observation of condensing supercritical fluid.

Inside of dense particle systems these fluctuations are similar to foam or sponge, being formed by heavily compacted density fluctuations of ideal Boltzmann gas. Most of energy is spreading along density gradients of such environment in transversal waves, i.e. by analogous way, like the light is spreading through vacuum.

These fluctuations can form a less or more continuous phase, which can exhibit another level of density fluctuations in the narrow range of conditions, when it behaves like foam or fluid, composed of fluctuations of another fluid. This Lifshitz point, which is used to model the triple point in condensed matter physics has increasing importancy in renormalization of quantum gravity and various cosmology models.

The AWT extrapolates such observation to the infinite mass/energy density under assumption, whole Universe is composed by infinite number of recursively nested levels of Aether density fluctuations. By AWT the level, which we are living in, is forming the observable generation of Universe. In certain sense is dual to whole contemporary physics, which is atemporal due its adherence to formal math language: "Physics is not about the 'why' of things but the 'how'". In comparison with physics, AWT is trying to explain origin of observable thing and phenomena in logical way and it doesn't care about formal regressions of reality.

Max Planck: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."
