Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen, The idea of an ether was proposed in the latter part of the seventeenth century by Sir Isaac Newton and given prominence by the Dutch physicist Christian Huygens. There is no proof that the ether does or does not exist but it is a convenient concept that there is such an all pervading medium that can transmit light and heat across a vacuum at the enormous speed of 186,000 miles per second. In 1864 Clerk Maxwell put forward the theory that light travelled in waves not as mechanical motion in the ether but as undulations of electrical potential. In the year 1900 the German physicist Max Planck put forward a new postulation that the transmission of light was due to the movement of actual particles. He further postulated that the radiation and absorption of these particles, or photons as they were subsequently called, could only take place in definite amounts or quanta. Evidence in favour of the existence of an ether was not, therefore, forthcoming from this source as particles can travel by reason of their mass and velocity. A new quantum theory of light was published in 1905 by Albert Einstein based on the research of Max Planck and another German physicist Philipp Lenard. A confusing situation then existed inasmuch as there were two schools of thought, one leaning towards, the wave theory of light of Huygens and Maxwell and the other leaning towards the photon or corpuscular theory of Planck who viewed light as a substance. In 1938 Einstein discussed the relative merits of these two schools of thought in The Evolution of Physics (Cambridge Univ. Press) stating: It would seem wise to avoid the ambiguity resulting from the existence of two distinct theories of the same phenomena by deciding in favour of one of them after a careful consideration of the faults and merits of each. The decision at this point would be more a matter of taste than of scientific conviction. Einstein went on to explain that the corpuscular theory does not allow light to bend and it demands the existence of sharp shadows whereas the wave theory, on the other hand, shows that a sufficiently small obstacle will cast no shadow. Experiments by Young and Fresnel supported the latter theory and implicit with the acceptance of the wave theory is also the existence of a medium in which the waves can oscillate. However, in any considerations of the existence of an ether one question inevitably arises. Is there any evidence of friction when bodies move at great speed through the ether such as when the earth moves round the sun? The answer to this was provided by the Michelson experiment carried out at the Astrophysical Observatory in Potsdam in 1879 and repeated later in the United States. It was conclusively proved that there was no such effect as it was impossible to find any relative motion between the earth and the ether.

This negative result appeared to discount the existence of an ether and yet it could also be interpreted to mean that the ether was a fluid possessing no mass in which solid bodies could move without friction or displacement since the ether also penetrated the solid body itself. Nevertheless further contributions to thi s field of research are necessary before any conclusions can be drawn. The argument between the followers of Maxwell and those of Planck was summarised by Einstein and Infeld in The Evolution of Physics in the following words: In optics we have to decide in favour of the wave theory against the corpuscular theory of light. Waves spreading in a medium consisting of particles, with mechanical forces acting between them, are certainly a mechanical concept. But what is the medium through which light spreads and what are its mechanical properties? There is no hope of reducing the optical phenomena to the mechanical ones before this question is answered. But the difficulties in solving this problem are so great that we have to give it up and thus give up the mechanical view as well.

There is some indication, however, that the ether does not provide any resistance to the passage of matter until extremely high velocities are reached. Just as the sound barrier has been discovered to resist the speed of a solid body in air at approx. 700 miles per hour so has the light barrier limited the velocity of light corpuscles in the ether to 186,000 miles per second. It would appear that the mechanical properties of the ether had in some way been interfered with. Einstein and Infeld could again be quoted to some purpose: The neglected clue connected with one of the fundamental concepts of mechanics is that of mass. It is true that the concept of an all pervading ether as a substance is difficult but to then attempt to consider it as non-material is a contradiction in terms, unless our terms are wrong. Possibly there should be a revised concept of Mass.

FIG. 4 Plan view of three dimensional model seen in Fig. 3 but with coloured counters substituted. Is it not possible that the building brick of the physical universe is a particle of ether having no mass and no charge but that it also has other qualities? It would then follow that any particle of ether that is given a charge would be classified according to its behaviour and potential, e.g., an electron or a proton, as in common practice in atomic physics today, and the material state would then be linked to the ether. If the ether does have these other qualities the present concept of mass could patently undergo revision. The classical formula E = mc2 would then be misleading as it only expresses mass in terms of energyeither latent or kinetic. With these other qualities in mind' the current understanding of mass could be adjusted and a new

 M. E. M.

evaluation obtained in relation to latent and kinetic energy and that might be described as potential mass . It has been found that the particles of ether may, in fact, have latent characteristics. Actual patterns in the ether* have been detected and independently verified. Experimentation with a novel form of Detector has revealed the existence of points of influence around certain objects that are related to those particular objects and their structure. These points of influence are called Nodal Points and in Fig. 1 a number of them are shown in the actual positions in which they have been detected around a bar magnet 1/4" diam. x 1" long. It is believed that this lattice arrangement of nodal points extends to great distances. Other points of influence have also been found around this bar magnet but they have different characteristics. These are seen in the three dimensional perspex model in Fig. 2 and, when correctly piled up, the perspex laminations reveal two spirals. The technique of operating the detector provides that the operator shall be thinking carefully of the point at issue whilst operating the Detector, and this will enable the latent energy patterns to be detected. In this particular case the operator was thinking of Hydrogen and Oxygen respectively in relation to the small bar magnet seen in the centre of Fig. 2. Each lamination was dealt with separately.

Fig. 5 Nodal Points detected around a tree three feet above ground level using the Portable Detector (1960). The Detector The detector in its most convenient form consists of a rubber membrane stretched over a metal plate screwed to a small box approx. 8" x 4" x 1" overall containing a resonant cavity into which a single stub projects that is connected to the flexible antenna wire. This antenna is used to probe the point in space that is being, investigated as seen demonstrated in Fig. 3. A skilled operator, whilst rubbing the rubber membrane with the middle finger, can detect an increase in the frictional response as the point of the antenna' passes through a position in the ether appropriate to the thought of the operator. If, for instance, the operator holds the point of the antenna near the magnet and seeks the position of Hydrogen, in relation to the magnet it can be determined by the change in the frictional response of the detector. The model seen in Fig. 2 is made of laminations of perspex and the points on these laminations have been determined by using the detector in the manner described, the operator first thinking of Hydrogen and then of Oxygen. It is important to note that a state of resonance can exist between the frequencies of thought and a point in space.

Biological Patterns in the ether related to Organic Growth The model in Fig. 3 shows the biological patterns that are associated in some way with the cactus plant seen in the centre. Fig. 4 shows these biological patterns in plan view, and they are themselves spirallic in structure but beyond that little is known about them as yet. Although the model shows some of the convolutions broken it is because they are rising out of the top lamination of perspex. They are thought to be complete loops that return to the plant.

FIG. 6 Biological Patterns detected at the level of the bronchi. The patterns for the left bronchus of a fairly healthy person are compared with those of the right bronchus of a chronic asthmatic. Four Nodal Points as distinct from the Biological Patterns are seen in Fig. 4. They show the commencement of a spiral which has subsequently been extended by way of interest but the complete pattern has yet to be investigated in three dimensions. It is known that these nodal points extend over considerable distances in the ether and that they are all related in some way to the physical plant. Nodal points were first discovered in 1945 but in connection with humans and animals. It was not until 1960 that attention was seriously directed at the Nodal Point problem and Fig. 5 shows the result of two teams working independently with their Detectors. The photograph only shows the nodal points that were detected in the plane of a table erected three feet from the ground. The presence of biological patterns around the human being was a chance discovery that followed an earlier one. It was originally found that a reaction could be obtained on the Detector when the antenna touched a persons skin. Closer investigation showed, however, that Anxiety Neurosis could be detected at a number of points remote from the body. Attempting to solve this mystery led to plotting the presence of other points of influence around the person. Fig. 6 shows the biological patterns that were eventually traced out as being related to a persons bronchus. Those on the left of centre relate to the left bronchus of a fairly healthy subject seated in front of the model with the chest touching the perspex. The patterns on the right of centre relate to a chronic asthmatic. The unduly distorted loops and kinks would appear to be due to the dominant psychological imbalances of

 M. E. M.

the subject. The three psychological states shown in Fig. 6, for instance, appear to have caused specific distortions. Closer inspection of the patterns of the healthy subject, left of centre, shows a symmetry of the loops and one of them, seen as a small spiral of markers in the photograph, has a subsidiary arrangement resembling * an actual looped coil which descends approx. 3 inches on its return journey to the body. The shape of this spiral is not unlike a simple induction coil or pick-up probe. It is possible to detect the appropriate etheric patterns from all parts of the body and this would suggest that the ether in the immediate vicinity of living things has an extremely complex structure which might well be described as an etheric Force Field Body. Independent teams of operators have verified the existence of the various patterns indicated in the photographs and described in the text. (A discussion then followed)
