Abstract: Although 20th century scientific philosophy has sought to
banish the aether and outlaw it from our modern civilisation, that effort has
failed. The great contributions of philosophers of earlier centuries, giving us
recognition of the aether, and notably by Rene Descartes, live on,
nothwithstanding acceptance of the four-space notions of the theory of
relativity. The aether remains the essential fabric of space, the canvas on
which Nature has painted the glorious picture of the world and the universe we
see around us. This paper will simply point to one scientific phenomenon which
reveals a direct manifestation of the aether and shows us how to tap into its
power. This paper also provides a bibliographic listing of this author's 20th
century discoveries concerning the aether, this being research which has been
published in spite of the opposition by those who prefer to accept the virtual
reality images which stem from Einstein's doctrines. The key property of the
real aether is its universal rhythm, its universal time keeping, as enforced by
a phase-lock between its quantum properties. This property is manifested by
aether in rotation because the phase-lock involves one-way energy transfer from
aether to matter in company with an electric charge induction by rotation,
neither of which feature in Einstein's vision of the properties of
space.
