Description:
A discussion of several kinds of ether as they can be inferred from Geosciences, and what the existence of the ether could imply for Physics and Cosmology. A tribute to the memory of my mentor Franco Selleri.
Description:
This article is written in honor of my mentor Franco Selleri who
has helped to consolidate my awareness of the existence of a medium subtended
to ordinary matter, and from which everything comes. From my
field, the Earth Sciences, come clues converging on an important role of the
ether in the geological evolution of Earth and planets, as well as all the
structures of the universe. Paleogeographic reconstructions allow a rough
quantitative evaluation of the amount of new ordinary matter that is added
to the planet in the unity of time, and the consequent statement of some
cosmological consequences and on the inner energy balance of the Earth.
The concept of central flow of ether defended here is different from the
Lorentian stationary ether, but the two concepts could be made compatible.
