In a gas-like ether, the duality between the oscillating electric and magnetic fields,
which are transverse to the direction of propagation of electromagnetic waves, becomes a
triality with the longitudinal oscillations of motion of the ether, if electric field, magnetic field
and motion are coexistent and mutually perpendicular. It must be shown, therefore, that if
electromagnetic waves comprise also longitudinal condensational oscillations of a gas-like ether,
analogous to sound waves in a material gas, then all three aspects of such waves must propagate
together along identical wave-fronts. To this end, the full characteristic hyperconoids are
derived for the equations governing the motion and the electric and magnetic field-strengths
in a gas-like ether, in three space variables and time. It is shown that they are, in fact,
identical. The equations governing the motion and the electric and magnetic field-strengths
in such an ether, and their common characteristic hyperconoid, are all invariant under Galilean
transformation.

A new theory of the refraction of light is presented, using the mathematical
fact that the equations of acoustics and optics are identical and that light may
therefore be treated as waves in a fluid ether. Light waves are penetrated
by the more slowly moving constituents of a refractive medium and so the
rays behind them are perturbed and made wavy as they are diffracted around
material particles. The arc-length along a wavy ray is thus increased by a factor...

It is shown that Planck�s energy distribution for a black-body radiation field can
be simply derived for a gas-like ether with Maxwellian statistics. The gas consists of an infinite
variety of particles, whose masses are integral multiples n of the mass of the unit particle,
the abundance of n-particles being proportional to...

For most of the 20th century, both relativity and star travel fascinated this writer. The reasons Albert
Einstein concluded there is an absolute barrier at the speed of light seemed at first clear, then later not
so clear upon closer examination.
"The speed of light relative to what?" I often asked anyone who would listen. The common response
was, "Light needs no specification of that kind; its speed is the same no matter who measures it."
"That's true." I would respond; "That's just the second postulate of special relativity which is not in
doubt; but that postulate applies to light, and we're talking about rocketships here." However it
seemed that no one understood what I was saying.
By referring to the universal constant c= 299.792 458 megameters per second as "the speed of light,"
we paint ourselves into a logical corner in which light is automatically taken as the subject of
discussion even when it is not. The careful reader will know not to immediately think "light" when he
hears or reads "the speed of light." But it is better to have a neutral name for that universal constant.
It has been called the Lorentz speed; Ignazio Ciufolini & John Archibald Wheeler (1995) called it the
characteristic speed of space, and they were then able to apply it to all "primordial forces" whether
electromagnetic or gravitational or other (what other, C&W did not say).

Following the work recently developed by Guala-Valverde in
this journal, we search for the conditions which constrain the
choice of arbitrary sets of standards in order to make inertial
mass numerically equal to gravitational mass.

To discuss the possibility of deriving the law of Coulomb and Newton�s second law theoretically, according to the law of conservation of energy, the variable dimension fractal method is developed, and used to improved Newton�s second law and the law of Coulomb in an example (a small electrification ball moves down along a long incline within the electric field due to an electrification globe). ...

Recent fits to nucleon form factor data show that the nucleon core has a Gaussian charge
density distribution and peripheral periodicity of declining amplitude whose wavelength
approximates the particle's Compton wavelength. This periodic feature was not anticipated by
quark models, but its characteristics do match those of a three-dimensional Turing wave
pattern produced in certain nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems. Almost three decades prior
to these observational findings, the novel physics methodology of subquantum kinetics had
predicted this type of electric field distribution for the nucleon, theorizing that subatomic
particles may be Turing patterns or dissipative structures that emerge from an underlying
reaction-diffusion matrix. This model, which is now confirmed by particle scattering data,
provides new insights into the origin of charge, spin, nuclear binding, particle diffraction and
electron orbital quantization.

We regard a classical field as medium. Then additional
parameter is appearing. It is the local fourvelocity vector of field.
If the one itself regard as potential of same field then all field�s
self energies became finite. As examples electromagnetic, mechanical,
