01.06. Boundary or Boundless

Outer Border
Universe is immeasurably wide and we really can´t imagine billions of light-yeas. These distances are far beyond horicont of man´s normal experiences, which are ´naturally´ limited to range of millimeters to kilometers.

On the other hand it´s astonishing how easy we escape natural boundaries. For example, we can draw a circle, symbolically representing our universe, draw besides further ´universe-circles´ and ask hypothetically, God would have liked to put one or diverse universe into state of existance.

By this ´divine´ distance we even are able to ask, whether outside our universe (or between diverse) really Nothing could exist. Then each Something would border to Nothing. These questions are of real ´divine´ dimension, thus illusionary to speculate about possible answers. Nevertheless, question of outer border of our unsiverse is relevant anyway.

One attempt to answer (or bypass) this question is hypothese of bended space: a hollow body bended back into itself, like circle without starting and ending point. By previous ´divine´ view however, also (twisted) torus like this still has an outer bordary suface. So for us by view from inside, question still is, why ether-inside shouldn´t disperse into nothing-outside.

Cohesion
Substance of ether could be gaseous, however gases expand into areas of lower density resp. pressure, so our unsiverse immediately would disperse into surrounding areas of pressless nothing.

Substance of ether could be liquid, as liquids show much better cohesion, e.g. based on tension of surfaces at least building trops. By minimum outer pressure however, fluids vaporize, thus also universe of liquid ether would disperse into nothings.

Within stable bodies however, parts keep together based on diverse mechanism (as described later), e.g. a clean crystal keeps stable shape even within extremest vacuum. So our universe could show stabile outer-surface, if ether would have consistence of extrem hard crystal.

That´s the point, where searching for properties of ether (and ether by itself) was stopped. Based on recognized, real give, rather smooth movements within universe like on earth, ether should have to behave like ´ideal´ gas, be extreme soft and elastic resp. compressible and expansible. Opposite, ether should have characteristics ´harder than steel´ - otherwise outmost dubious appearance of extreme attracting forces would have to be existent anyway.

Dividing and Assembling
It´s normal experiece of everydays problems, which limit horicont twice and hinder us to find solution to previous problem.

At the one hand we are ´mentally limited´ as we can concentrate only each one fact. We experience and concider and discuss - however only one special topic, at one time by one point of view. We know well, comprehensive knowledge will come up finally by ´holistic view´, by integration and (especially modern) by networks overlaying all subjects. However it is to state in general: as long one thinks by parts, assembling is necessary.

Second we practically all times have to do with parts: all materia is to divide into parts. There is nothing within our material world of everydays experience, which is one whole piece (and if it looks like, it´s common understanding it´s made of diverse, separate chemical compounds or molecules or atoms etc.). To handle by parts is normal usage as e.g. all products are made of parts. As soon anything ´big´ shall be achieved, parts must be assembled that kind it keeps together.

Whole
Previous question was, how ether of universe could anyway keep together. Answer is so simple, to most it will seem like ´piece of juggling´ - however remember lots of incredible hypotheses, wildest speculations and pure fictions within all sciences all times.

My deduced answer simply is: there must no parts keep together, cause ether is one whole, coherent by itself. Ether with that property can´t disperse, cause there are no parts of ether anywhere. So my conclusion of problem above is, whole universe is one whole piece of ether.

This claim naturally provokes opposition, cause un-dividabiliy is contradictionary to all normal experiences. At everydays life we only handle with parts and just Quant-Physics did demonstrate, even elementary particles once more are divided into sub-elementary particles and no end of dividability is to see.

I agree completely, cause concrete experiences reflect variety of physical occurrences. Naturally, at scale of material bodies there are separated parts, one scale further down naturally there are separable molecules and atoms. However material bodies different kind don´t exist of diverse ´materias´ and same time each elementary particle or each kind of sub-elementary particle exists not each of an own substance. All these ´parts´ are occurrences of each other kind of ether movements. Various occurences show most different properties, e.g. one is possibility of seperated appearance (as a single ´whirlpool´ within ether).

As in reality there is only one single materia, that ether-materia logically is not to compare with any corresponding fact. So ether well can show solitary property of undividability. Opposite, occurrences can be situated more or less dense to each other up to completely separated apperarance of an isolated single part.

Ether of universe is one whole, it´s part-less cohension is essential characteristic. Ether thus must not be hard like cristal, opposite ether can be totally soft and still totally cohesive. Indeed, status of ´gel´ is good comparison: gel keeps together like being one whole, based at adhesion of parts (however gel appeares only like a whole, while ether really is one whole).

Thinking by Parts
Question concerning outer boundary of universe resulted previous conclusion. However also by microscopic view, ether as one whole is inevitably logic consequence.

It´s certainty, all elements of atoms lastly are nothings else than movements. Even largest machines of nuclear research plants, lastly show nothing else than foto of spiralic ending motion, as a ´particle radiates into energy´ (remarkable usage resp. mixup of terms: supposed reality of a material particle converts into abstract expression of ´energy´). Materia like energy lastly is any kind of motion, motion however can only be movement of something, here called ether.

However practically all explorers (event those who honestly think about existance of ether) regard ether again being build by ether parts. So one discusses about density of ether, assumes materia to be condensed ether, speculates about different speeds of ether particles, so about hot and cold areas of ether etc.

Thinking that kind however, only transforms established understandings inclusive inherent problems and unsolved phenomena from level of material bodies and their parts onto level of ether and its parts and sub-particles etc. That kind of ´alternative´ physics is really superfluous, cause there is no progress, e.g. discussion about gaps between suggested ether-parts and inevitably about something / nothing again is completely same than before. So thinking by ether-parts is in vain, cause only shifting words.

Billardballs
Parts include existance of gaps between, no matter how narrow ´billardballs´ are placed at table. If one ball is pushed into certain direction, carambolages by most different angles result, so originally directed motion is spread chaotically, lastly diffuses into ´heat´. If ether would really exist by parts, universe really would already have suffered ´heat-death´.

On the other hand, ´signal-speed´ within medium of parts is rather limited. Parts of air e.g. move by some 450 meter each second, so sound moves ahead by some 330 meter each second. Molecules of fluids are more dense, so sound is transported correspondingly faster.

If however speed of light within (earlier assumed ´light´-) ether should be possible, its parts should be packed incredibly dense (previous ´harder than steel´) - and easyness of other movements within ether would be quite impossible (so one decided any medium of high-speed motions superfluous).

At the one hand, real energy-constance (instead of energy leveling) is only possible, if movements ahead are possible without losses. On the other hand, high speeds of electromagnetic occurrences demand extreme ´dense´ medium.

However, it´s again an unpronounced assumption, if density of a medium is implied only to be possibel by most compact package of seperated parts. Same effect is automatically given, if medium by itself is not compound of parts but is implied to be a real whole (like at common physics lots of properties are defined to be ´inherent´, strange enough - even to nothing).

Right-Angles
Only if ether is assumed to be a whole, an impuls within this medium is tranported without loss and delay - nevertheless there exists no ´time-less´ fast signal speed. In addition, each electromagnetic wave does not only run straight ahead but ´induces´ right-angled other ´fields´.

Why within ´vacuum´ electromagnetic motion should not be timeless fast and why should electric fields generate right-angled magentic fields, mutually again and again - these are major, not pronounced questions. Just phenomen of simultaneous, inevitable, additional and right-angled effects are clear evidence for gap-less-ness of ether.

One ´portion´ of ether can not simply move ahead, cause there are already other portions, without gaps between. These would have to move aside, so that first portion could move ahead. That second portion getting out of way, by itself demands siding of third ether-portion there. So lastly all has to make place right-angled for each other, every lateral-movement to left side, as well known basics of electromagnetism.

Naturally ether never moves by right-angled-edges anywhere, but all is turning at spiral tracks, around wandering fulcrums with differing radius, multiply overlayed, by differing and variing speeds - and only as an appearance results extreme fast light-speed of electromagnetic waves. Naturally there is no ´portion of ether´ hunting through space, like no waters flow over ocean, even waves produce impression of stormy seas running ahead (as will be described next section).

Laws of Nature
Here at first it´s only to state, within parts (billardballs) never would exist steady compulsion to each right-angled additional effects (cause separate balls can move as they like it, e.g. get out of way in all directions - like parts of fluids do). If universe really would be build up by parts, chaos would exist indeed, cause within parts every motion is possible, e.g. anything can move alongside boundary surfaces into any direction, or wouldn´t have to keep together anyway.

Only if ether is assumed to be one whole, moving within itself, possibilities of motions are limited resp. are resulting inevidable follows of movement´s processes - like they are recongnized as essential physical occurrences.

Remaining possibilities of motions are still of huge variety, however only within that frame which is determined by laws of nature - or vice versa: finally these restrictions (based and only demanded by gap-less ether) result strong limitations resp. mutual relationships of physical factors, i.e. these restrictions are laws of nature by itself.

Strange enough - like logically same time - strong order within system of universe only results, if there are no internal boundaries, but everything is immediate connected with all next, most direct possible kind, as really one whole. Cause ether is no assembly of (bulky) parts, motions within ´soft´ ether can take place without problems, however only by ´mutual understanding´ of neigbouring areas, within that frame in practically unlimited variety.
