EPILOGUE
Having shown the power of my theory and presented (as by the tenth appended paper) what has to be a convincing account of the true nature of gravitation, I remind readers of that riddle and the challenge I introduced at the outset of this work.
It will, I am sure, become possible to build the machine that can harness the force of gravity. One might hope to see a levitating machine operating with an energy input that is minute in relation to the power demands of 20th century aerospace technology. That objective is a little beyond my own horizon, even though I remind readers of my early reference on page 28 to John Davidson's book The Secret of the Creative Vacuum.
It is not beyond my range of view to see in prospect the possibility of so enhancing the gravitational pull on the working core of a machine that the drop in consequential energy potential releases very substantial amounts of heat energy.
This could become a way of doing the work of the Maxwell Demon, namely the effortless pumping of energy from a cold to a hot environment. That would provide us with a pollution-free new source of power.
With that in mind I offer now another clue. It was noted that uranium was amongst the four metals that were candidates for use in exploring the supergravitational activity, but neodymium and samarium were more likely to be destined to be at the heart of that future technology. However, it will give confidence to the project if we can also understand why uranium is also so very special in this gravitational context.
The reason is similar to the dual influence applicable close to the atomic number Z=61 (promethium). There was a 5th harmonic resonance by the K-shell electrons coupled to the gravitational frequency (the Compton electron frequency). Also, as explained in the fourth of the appended papers, for corresponding orbital motion there was a strong perturbation because the orbiting electron sweeps close to the aether lattice charges at radius d
2 from the atomic nucleus centred at an aether lattice site, where d is the lattice spacing.
One needs now to imagine a gravitational resonance involving the electrons in the L or higher order atomic electron shells. Note that the harmonic pulsation frequency of the electrons, as set up in the electromagnetic reference frame, is the Compton electron frequency multiplied by the factor:
(Zα)2εγ/n3
Here α is the fine structure constant (approximately 1/137), n is the Bohr quantum number of the electron, ε is 1 or 2 according to whether one electron is active or two in antiphase motion are active and γ is the order of the harmonic setting up the resonant condition. The latter condition is then given by resonant tuning giving a phase-lock condition in an atom for which Z has a value close to that given by:
Z2 = (n3ε>γ)(137)2
From this, with n=2, the least value of γ corresponding to a value of Z in the range of stable atoms is then seen to be 9, with ε equal to 2, so determining Z as 91.
Now this is a quite remarkable circumstance, because it not only determines which harmonic is governing but it also replicates the situation we see for neodymium (Z=60), promethium (Z=61) and samarium (Z=62) by a new sequence. Thorium (Z=90), protactinium (Z=91) and uranium (Z=92) constitute a special group as well, with a very rare middle element. Unlike promethium, protactinium has a finite abundance, but it is virtually non-existent, being ten parts in a billion of the abundance values of its `next of kin' thorium and uranium!
Surely this is evidence of a supergravitational influence acting upon the two atomic elements that are at the centre of each of these dual resonant situations.
I can also add the point that had I set 85 J/gm as the threshold level for the latent heat of fusion of metals with melting points in excess of 1,000oC, there is only one metal that would then have been added to Nd, Sm, Au and U in that introductory note on page 1. That metal is the one we see next to protactinium, thorium with a latent heat of fusion of 82.8 J/gm!
The latent heat of fusion of promethium Pm (Z=61) and protactinium Pa (Z=91) were not listed in my data source as having been measured. Promethium (3.7 year half-life) is a fission product of uranium. As to protactinium, even if the wisdom of nuclear experts favours attributing its scarcity to some quirk of radioactive decay, they must surely view the natural absence of promethium as a real mystery and give serious consideration to the supergravitational proposition offered here.
Hopefully these thoughts will cause scientists to realise that the gravitational theory I have developed gives a new direction for research aimed at harnessing the link indicated between gravity and these particular atomic elements. In the meantime, and even before that research prospect of technological benefit emerges on the near horizon, I do hope that common sense will prevail and scientists will have the wisdom to turn their attentions away from Einstein's theoretical treatment of gravitation.
Leaving the gravitional challenge to the future, I now conclude this dissertation. I believe that enough has been presented in this work to put my discoveries on record for scrutiny by future generations.
The present generation of theoretical physicists has shown an unwillingness to pay attention to my findings and so they are best left to squander their time on their own devious attempts to interpret a universe of their own imagination. I was, by that anonymous referee quoted on pp. 46-47, accused of presenting phantasy and science fiction as physics and offering no tight logical mathematical structure.
You, the reader, if you have read what I have presented in this work, must now judge whether or not my `phantasy' world has something to offer.
Meanwhile, I now look away from the 'physicist' who wears his fine and invisible garments woven from a 'relativistic web' over his 'superstring' vest. I appeal instead to that portion of the scientific community that sees technology as having the more prominent role in scientific endeavour and I ask that attention be paid to the role the aether can play in supplying the pollution-free power we need in the 21st century.
As readers will understand from the dates of the papers referenced and presented, virtually all of what has been described was completed more than six years ago. I could have produced this collection of papers then, but I have deemed it more important to divert my attentions to experimental projects. I shall now concentrate on writing about 'Energy Science' from a practical viewpoint and describing the results of my endeavours of the past six years on that task of extracting energy from the aether.
Being academically trained and well versed in conventional disciplines of physical science it has not been easy for me to overturn in my mind the dogma that block research interest in the latter field. Nor has it been easy to solve the riddle of gravitation but we have now the solution, thanks to overturning belief in erroneous dogma. Gravitation aside, the breakthrough factor in this work has been the new fundamental principles of electrodynamics which we can already see have practical application in the latest research on the generation of a new form of electrical power.
It came as a welcome surprise to see that Dr. Paulo Correa acknowledged the relevance of my work [1,34,112] in the U.S. patents [117,118] which describe the research findings on that new power generation project and I record here my appreciation for that recognition.
Undoubtedly the way forward is to show that we can tap energy from the aether even though this does mean overturning some of the accepted doctrines in physics. 'Aether Science Papers' may help to ease the bewilderment of the scientific community as the new technology emerges.
