<br />He has invented a new concept called the "elysium" which, according to him, is not the aether but, as you can see from his definition, it is the "unit of the carrier medium of light".<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">"Elysium" is not a new concept, being equivalent to the gravitational potential field. It is just a new word to get rid of the historical baggage associated with an absolute aether.
"Elysium" is the name for the field or medium. Its unit particle is called an "elyson". Confusing the two is like confusing "atmosphere" and "oxygen molecule".

The proton rest mass is simply the electron rest mass multiplied by the proton-electron mass ratio. It can be found in many standard reference works such as the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics".
Do you have another suggestion for what to call the mass of a proton at rest? -|Tom|-
