Re: You seem to be more confused than I thought.

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: You seem to be more confused than I thought.
The posts saying my Ether Model can't be tested have ignored my posts where I mention a possible field test that predicts effects of an ether (not directly demonstrating the ether, but, certain effects having been predicted, would be strong indirect evidence of its existence.
How could we have ever missed that, what with all your hand-waving and word salad constantly obstructing our view? Maybe if you were to write it down clearly and concisely then you might be able to convince somebody.
As I've said, such a test would be expensive, and no sponsor has been found to get it done.
So apply for a grant. What would ever make you think that we would be sources of such funding?
One of the key skills for research scientists is how to write a request for a grant. You obviously lack that skill, so I would recommend that you ally yourself with a research scientist, mostly likely a physicist, who can help you through that process. Of course, you would first have to convince him/her of any promise your ideas have, so yet again you would have to be able to present your ideas clearly and concisely. And show the math! (or at least the basis for the math)
Every path that you must take involves the same basic requirement: a clear and concise and cogent description of your ideas, preferably including some of the required math. Since we have seen no hints of any such description, we can safely assume that it does not exist. Create it! Until you do that, you have nothing.
Failing at that, I'm sure you could find a way to tap into some of that massive dark money swirling around in the Q-niverse. Maybe if you could pitch your experiment as being able to prove that Trump is indeed Jesus Christ.
During the Viet Nam period, I was an MD in the Army.
Did the Army recruit (or draft) you out of medical school, possibly early, and then train you for combat medicine? I don't know whether the US Army did that, though the military's demand for medical skills has always been high such that in the 80's MDs in their 60's and older were getting direct commissions. A similar thing happened to Frederick Banting with the Canadian Army in WWI when they fast-tracked medical students to get them in the field treating the wounded. After the war, Banting continued to practice as a surgeon until he turned his attention to the treatment of glycosuria and earned a Nobel Prize (the youngest laureate ever for Physiology/Medicine at 32) for treating diabetes with insulin.
 
I'm also reminded of that scene in M*A*S*H where Houlihan asks out loud how such a degenerate could have ever reached a position of responsibility in the US Army Medical Corps, to which the chaplain, "Dago Red", responds, "He was drafted."

Uh, because it's far more easier to explain away the lack of a paper trail before the invention of paper! Nu?

My very first creationist encounter was live. He had a BS biology. He actually tried to claim that wings were sixth appendages instead of modified forelimbs, but then immediately realized his mistake.

Actual origin of QM
For anybody curious the actual origin of quantum theory is the emission spectrum of helium, i.e. the frequencies of light helium emits. People had tried to handle this problem by adding stochasticity (non-determinism) and discreteness into the Bohr-like Solar System models of the atom to no avail.
Heisenberg went to Helgoland in 1925 and took as his basis two empirical facts: the emission spectra of hydrogen first predicted by Bohr and the emission rates worked out by Einstein. Emission rates roughly being how rapidly hydrogen will give off a frequency of light when supplied with the energy to do so. His idea was that if he could find a framework where he could derive the emission rates from the spectrum then this framework would also be able to handle helium. He also imposed the requirement that the equations relating spectra and emission rates from classical electromagnetism continued to be true in the atomic regime.
So he had three ingrediants:
1. Bohr's Emission spectra
2. Einstein's Emission rates
3. The classical equations relating spectra and rates
He found the only way to feed 1 into 3 was by dropping the idea that electrons had positions or momenta, once he did that he could instantly compute 2 using 1 and 3.
Shortly after with Born and Jordan he expanded his new framework out from just spectra to an entirely new rewrite of mechanics.
Schrodinger came up with what initially seemed like a new theory, but was later shown by Born and Dirac to actually be identical to Heisenberg's formalism, just written in a different notation.
Bohr then tighten the framework by showing that the central point from which everything flowed was dropping the notion of observation independent properties, a central concept of everyday human thought. Physics was now a symbolism of atomic scale measurements, not a direct description of the atomic world.
Pauli and others then showed that Helium could be correctly handled by this new theory and thus by 1931 the new quantum mechanics was fully formulated.
Nothing to do with the ether.

Re: Actual origin of QM
Does quantum consensus theory still hold to the "lattice" model of atoms? If not, how is an underlying ether still able to be dismissed?

I think you really meant to ask about one of the latticed models of condensed matter physics, such as the Icing model, the Mrs. Potts model, the XYZZY Adventure model or the Yoda lattice.
If not, how is an underlying ether still able to be dismissed?
It's dismissed in a manner similar to the way the Flying Spaghetti Monster is dismissed, apologies to you Pastafarians out there.
Though unlike the ether it can be difficult to dismiss the FSM, since we have actual images, like this one from an appearance in Denmark:

Re: Actual origin of QM
There's no such thing as the lattice model of atoms.
Modern physics can dismiss the ether by matching observations without it. Same as how it dismisses the caloric theory of heat.

Re: Actual origin of QM
There is such a thing as the lattice theory of atoms in theoretical physics. Anyone interested in the status of the lattice theory can look it up on the Internet or in Wikipedia.

Re: Actual origin of QM
Percy,
I don't want to get deeply into lattice theory, inasmuch as, from the perspective of my ether model, it's just another aspect of consensus quantum theory, and my Ether Model has a fundamentally divergent perspective on theoretic permutations of quantum physics.
However, when I looked up "lattice, atom" on the Internet, and checked all the sub-references to it in Wikipedia, I found a number of sources dealing with it, including in Wikipedia. You have to stick with its sub-references to find them.

Re: Actual origin of QM
This is the perfect time for you to link to or explain the so called subreferences. But it will be fun to see an actual physicist destroy your bs.

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Actual origin of QM
Is it possible you are referring to the lattice model of certain solids? For example crystals are often modelled with the atoms mostly concentrated around nodes of a rigid grid.

Well, don't forget we're talking about a guy who thinks aliens gave him to a key to a code somewhere and that inspired his ether fantasy. I have to wonder why the aliens want HIM to know about the code and ether? What's in it for them? Why didn't they give the code to Stephen Hawking or someone who could actually understand it?
