Aether dynamics: Classical mechanics explained.

In this paper, we propose that the density of the aether is a universal constant and is the same in all inertial frames of reference. We suggest that other physical phenomena, such as the speed of light, Maxwell's equations, and gravity, which are the same in all inertial frames of reference, behave in this manner, because they all depend on the density of the aether. We discuss the origin of mass in terms of aether displacement by subatomic particles with mass. Explanations of Newton's laws of motion, based on the aether, are given. The fundamental causes of kinetic energy and momentum are explained in relation to the aether. We offer an explanation for the constant speed of light. Einstein's special theory of relativity is explained in relation to the constancy of the aether density, and the famous equations in his theory are derived using basic aether dynamics. We suggest that aether particles are fundamental particles behaving like tiny springs as proposed by Hooke's law and be given the name aetheons. We propose the spring constant of the aetheon ultimately limits the speed of light to c. This paper offers a way to link classical Newtonian physics to quantum physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
