I almost agree with you.

I am grateful for your honesty. There has to be more like you, and just that, your statement, rekindles my trust in science. And your statement is, I think, is very close to the reality. As close as can be accurately stated. Therefore I can say that I almost agree with you too. I believe those unobservable properties occur because of the generality, what's the right word, the,,,"unbounded". That's a good word for it. We can't observe it not because there is nothing to observe, but rather that we can only observe something in particular, and the Aether is nothing in particular.
I've thought about this, and eventually thought that maybe we can observe the interface between Aether, whatever it is, and the physical world. Of course, this would not tell us anything about the Aether specifically, but it can, I think, by inference tell us with certainty that there is something there. I think that is what I want to say most of all, that there is certainly something there.Here. Inside. Well you know what I mean. That is what I am certain about and all I am certain about. I don't know what it is either, I can guess, but I don't really know. I do know it is something.
Not content with just that though, I want to know more. So far, I can trace it to Maxwell's displacement currents. I think.

I moved this from redshift anomaly to focus on reference material here. I also discovered the printer friendly tag.
Hoagland's Hyperdimensional cosmogny

Message:
It has always been assumed, by some, that space was empty. Indeed, if we look closely between our outstretched hands, the space inbetween looks empty. But it can also be assumed, and quite a few do assume, that space is full. Have you ever wondered how an atom can move around forever? In 1987, Hal Puthoff wrote the paper showing that the atom get an energy from the ZPE. So space turns out to be an energy.
The significance of this to cosmology is that now we have the mechanism which accounts for the tremendous outflowing of matter/energy from the center of the Galaxy. And a major prediction that the centers of Galaxies are ejecting matter, not sucking it in.
The following is from an introduction to Hoagland's introduction to what he calls hyperdimensional space. The source for plasma energies...
quote:
Via < www.enterprisemission.com/hyper1.html> ; -- and the continuation of the narrative on subsequent webpages -- Hoagland goes on to discuss the following:
z “Vortex atoms” -- tiny, self-sustaining “whirlpools” in the so-called ether -- one envisioned by William Thompson (1867), which he and his 19th Century contemporaries “increasingly believed extended throughout the Universe as an all-pervasive, incompressible fluid.” The latter included James Clerk Maxwell -- undoubtedly the patron saint of modern electromagnetic theory -- who developed a mechanical vortex model of an incompressible ether in which Thompson’s vortex atom could exist.
z The use by Maxwell of quaternions (ordered pairs of complex numbers), who made it clear in his writings that his choice of quaternions as mathematical operators was predicated on his belief that three-dimensional physical phenomena -- including quite possibly human Consciousness -- was dependent upon higher dimensional realities! Some of these writings are included herein as Hyperdimensional Poetry. A brief diversion.
z The disastrous “streamlining” after Maxwell’s death of his quaternion equations by two 19th Century so-called mathematical physicists, Oliver Heaviside and William Gibbs, who simplified to extinction the original equations and left four simple (if woefully incomplete!) expressions. This was done by Heaviside’s drastic editing of Maxwell’s original work after the latter’s untimely death from cancer. The four surviving, “classic” Maxwell’s Equations -- which appear in every electrical and physics text the world over, became the underpinnings of all 20th Century electrical and electromagnetic engineering -- from radio to radar, television to computer science, and were inclusive of every hard science from physics to chemistry to astrophysics that deals with electromagnetic radiative processes. The classic equations never appeared in any of Maxwell’s papers or treatises!
z The introduction in 1854 by Georg Bernard Riemann the idea of hyperspace, i.e. the description and possibility of “higher, unseen dimensions”, a fundamental assault on the 2000-year old assumptions of Euclid’s The Elements -- the ordered, rectilinear laws of ordinary three dimensional reality. “In its place, Riemann proposed a four-dimensional reality (of which our 3-D reality was merely a ‘subset’), in which the geometric rules were radically different, but also internally self-consistent. Even more radical: Riemann proposed that the basic laws of nature in 3-space, the three mysterious forces then known to physics -- electrostatics, magnetism and gravity -- were all fundamentally united in 4-space, and merely ‘looked different’ because of the resulting ‘crumpled geometry’ of our three-dimensional reality...” In lieu of Newton’s “action-at-a-distance theories, Riemann was proposing that all such apparent forces were the result of objects moving through three dimensions, but distorted by an intruding geometry of 4-space.
z The fundamental problem of an alleged lack of experimental or experiential evidence of a fourth spacial dimension. This was addressed in part in 1919 by Theodr Kaluza, who suggested a solution to the mathematical unification of Einstein’s theory of gravity with Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetic radiation, via the introduction of an additional spacial dimension. Kaluza also proposed that the additional spacial dimension had somehow collapsed down to a tiny circle -- an idea now prevalent in Superstrings! This idea was expanded in 1926 by Oskar Klein, who applied the idea to Quantum Physics and came up with the idea that Kaluza’s new dimension had somehow collapsed down to the “Planck length” itself -- supposedly the smallest possible size allowed by quantum interactions -- thereby tying in with Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.
z A rebirth of hyperdimensional physics in the guise of Superstrings (beginning in 1968), in which fundamental particles and fields are viewed as hyperspace vibrations of infinitesimally small, multi-dimensional strings -- with updated versions of the old Kaluza-Klein theory; discussions of a modern supergravity hyperspace unification model; and the exotic “String Theory” itself. The enormous increase in interest represents a fundamental revolution within a major segment of the worldwide scientific community. A significant factor is the number of dimensions: 10 (or 26, depending on strings rotation). And still, all additional dimensions are still within the Planck length!
z Discussions by Thomas E. Bearden, including, “Maxwell’s original theory is, in fact, the true, so-called ‘Holy Grail’ of physics... the first successful unified field theory in the history of Science... a fact apparently completely unknown to the current proponents of ‘Kaluza-Klein,’ ‘Supergravity,’ and ‘Superstring’ ideas....” “...In discarding the scalar component of the quaternion, Heaviside and Gibbs unwittingly discarded the unified electromagnetic/gravitational portion of Maxwell’s theory.” “The simple vector equations produced by Heaviside and Gibbs captured only that subset of Maxwell’s theory where EM and gravitation are mutually exclusive. In that subset, electromagnetic circuits and equipment will not ever, and cannot ever, produce gravitational or inertial effects in materials and equipment.”
z The unwarranted restriction of Maxwell’s theory, also impacted Einstein who restricted his theory of general relativity, and thus by fiat prevented the unification of electromagnetics and relativity -- as well as experimental evidence of the general theory due to any local spacetime curvature being excluded.
z The exclusion by quantum physicists of Bohm’s hidden variable theory, “which conceivably could have offered the potential of engineering quantum change -- engineering physical reality itself.” “Each of these major scientific disciplines missed and excluded a subset of their disciplinary area...”
z The loss to science by the limiting of Maxwell’s equations of: The electrogravitic control of gravity itself, in effect, the ability to curve local and/or distant spacetime with electromagnetic radiation. “Whittaker accomplished this by demonstrating mathematically that ‘the field of force due to a gravitating body can be analyzed, by a spectrum analysis’ into an infinite number of constituent fields; and although the whole field of force does not vary with time, yet each of the constituent fields is an undulatory character, consisting of a simple-disturbance propagated with uniform velocity.” [emphasis added] Significantly, the waves would be longitudinal and require gravity to be propagated with a finite velocity, which however did not have to be the same as that of light, and in fact may be enormously greater.
z The measurement of the hidden potential of free space by Yakir Aharonov and David Bohm in 1959, the resulting “Aharonov-Bohm Effect” providing compelling proof of a “deeper spatial strain -- a scalar potential -- underlying the existence of a so-called magnetic force-field itself. This potential is equivalent to the unseen, vorticular stress in space first envisioned by Thompson.” “And stresses, when they are relieved, must release energy into their surroundings!”
z Quantum Electrodynamics Zero Point Energy of space -- vacuum energy -- in which is created, then relieved stresses in Maxwell’s voticular ether (a process equivalent to tapping the energy of the vacuum -- a vacuum which, according to quantum physics, possesses a staggering amount of such energy per cubic inch of space.
z “Given the prodigious amount of ‘vacuum energy’ calculated by modern physicists (trillions of atomic bomb equivalents per cubic centimeter...), even a relatively minor but sudden release of such vast vacuum (ether) stress potential inside a planet... could literally destroy it.” Or alternatively, in a far more controlled fashion, provide the anomalous infrared energy output of the planets Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter; or even the same source of energy for stars, including the Sun.

Although I was mainly a theoretician, I am generally very sceptic about new theories ... Thus, the following comments are probably too careful !

The study of the spectrum of a micro-quasar, taking into account the CREIL effect (which is a direct application of standard coherent light-matter interactions) shows that they become quasars if they are embedded in a cloud of hydrogen. There are two main types of quasars: quasars bound to galaxies and isolated quasars whose repartition is isotropic. It seems that the isolated quasars are bound to our galaxy, so that it seems that the micro-quasars (which are fast moving neutron stars) become quasars when they leave their galaxy. A possible conclusion may be: there is much more diffuse hydrogen out of the galaxies than inside... maybe, the galaxies are not regions where there is a larger mean density of usual matter, but regions where the matter agglomerates.

This applies supposing that Maxwell's equations are linear in the vacuum. But they are not at very high energies, because electron pairs may be produced by pure EM fields. It is possible to build (3+0)D solitons (that is particles) of the EM field introducing nonlinear permeabilities and permittivities for the vacuum, from (2+1)D solitons ( in matter, light filaments well known in optics).

I think that it is necessary to know exactly the meaning of the words and more, of the concepts we use, going at their source. If we are not very careful, we may build a religion such as the BB and the principles of quantum mechanics (listen the anathema uttered by their defenders).

The ZPE allowed to set QED identifying the energy in a mode with the energy of an harmonic oscillator.
Else, how could Nernst compute the ZPE more than 10 years before QED ? Learn old physics (modes...)

Nernst worked on the ZPE in 1916. From thermodynamics and Einstein (1917), the ZPE cannot be used. Maybe interesting at very high frequencies ...
I think that it is necessary to know exactly the meaning of the words and more, of the concepts we use, going at their source. If we are not very careful, we may build a religion such as the BB and the principles of quantum mechanics (listen the anathema uttered by their defenders).

It certainly can be helpful if those who speak of something have the same thing in mind. You talk about a physical field that happens to be around when there is little else. What is the source of this field?
You say that a lot has been said of the ZPE that is absurd. But what about life without the ZPE? Saying that atoms self-exsist forever sounds just as absurd to me. Two absurds cancel, we are still left with the question of what is happening.
I also appreciate your wish to remain physical as opposed to metaphysical. Granted, I am Eastern philosophy orientated, but of those Zen gets closer. If you know Zen, you know the experience rules.
But I would like to point out that the principle of emergence enables a couple physicals to form a relationship with emergent properities which when taken as a whole have new unique properties which cannot be found in the original physical parts. These words were physically created, does that physicality preclude their obviously non-physical meanings?
So I am very comfortable imagining that there is more than just space and matter. I would have to say that I imagine space and matter working together somehow. And that tells me that space is something else anyhow.
The big question that everyone was asking when Aether was popular was "Where is it?" That's a fair question, and when I asked it my answer was INSIDE space.
That's when Hal Puthoff wrote and told me of his paper showing how the ground state of the hydrogen atom is balanced by a flow of energy from or through the ZPE.
As we see, citing the ZPE has its problems. But that is true whatever we choose to call it. And that is precisely why I like to call it simply the INSIDE of space. And the reason I cannot call it something other, is that any other has limitations and constraints which may apply in one case and not in another. This is a scientific problem that is delt with by the scientist "Of which I do not know, I speak not." Unfortunately there are a thousand less than scientist perfectly willing to say something about what they do not know.
It may very well be that the INSIDE is not anything in particular which I admit poses a big problem for the scientist who needs something to test.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">To absorb a field, you must generate an opposite field. It is impossible to generate a field opposite to the field radiated by a dipole using other, far dipoles: therefore, the fields emitted by the atoms cannot be fully absorbed, it remains a stochastic field.
This stochastic field plays the role of a thermal bath; if an atom emits a quantum of energy, the mean level of the field is increased, so that the probability of an absorption of a quantum is increased.

If we consider Bohr's model of H atom, the electron radiates a field. Without ZPE, this radiation corresponds to a loss of energy, the electron falls to the proton; with the ZPE, the radiated field interferes with the ZPE, so that no energy is radiated (more precisely, it is necessary to correct slightly Bohr's atom with Lamb's energy).

Using the laws of physics to find something new, there are two possibilities:
i) the "new" is a discovery, the theory works, it is good.
ii) the experiment shows a failure. It is better, allowing to improve the old physical laws. It may be known that these old laws are approximate; In the case of electromagnetism in the vacuum, there is a single known failure: at very high energy with the creation of electron pairs.
