We are, of course, now at the point where we are starting to find direct evidence, of a sort, for the ether in the form of the Higgs field. Einstein labored mightily in the 1920s and 1930s to develop ...

This ether field isn't to do with light, but rather is something that boosts the gravitational pull of stars and galaxies, making them seem heavier, says Starkman.

The ether was meant to be a system at the same level as air, and light an excitation at the same level as sound. These were shown not to exist, but that doesn’t rule out an electromagnetic field ...

The ground of being may not be directly detectable but understanding its presence is becoming more of a reality ...

So how does the “gloop” of the Higgs field differ from the non-existent ether? Is it a case of different terminology, but the same concept? Issue no. 3397 published 30 July 2022.
