<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Aether was thrown into the circular file over 100 years ago. This sounds like a rehash. <br /> Posted by derekmcd</DIV><br />well, wasn't photon thought to be wave, then it was 'thrown into the circular file' for some hundred yrs and it was thought to be a particle which was then 'thrown into the circular file' and was thought to be wave for some hundred yrs give or take (I just throw in those centuries, nobody quote me on that or learn history of physics from that, pls) and then it was particle again at the turn of last century and shortly after that it was settled by deciding that it is both particle and wave depending how one looks at it LOL a fitting capping of centuries of confusion, now that all permutations of ignorance are exhausted physicists can sleep well for many centuries to come. safe in the belief that nobody can beat that, or can they</p><p> </p><p>same with the ether, it is rocky going and its past is heap of bungled theories concerning it but its future hasn't been settled yet I dare say </p><p> </p><p>btw., this is not meant as endorsment of the thread poster's theories which I believe are completely wrong and not worth even refuting, so don't call on me to support my claim as is becoming habit on these forums lately </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
