Re: Sci Am proposes SR wrong and Aether exists

For those who would like to view the Sci Am article, you cannot do it
online. I just got my December 2005 issue and the article is titled "An
ECHO of Black Holes". You cannot get it online without paying a $36
subscription fee to Sci Am. They did reference the original paper which
you can look at:

As the title would suggest, this is more about the mechanics of black
holes than a discussion of the existence of the aether. The main point
is that some of the mechanics of black holes can be explained in terms
of fluid behaviors. We should be able to produce black-hole like
phenomenon using fluid experiments. The point is that since a fluid
model can help explain black hole phenomenon and since a fluid consists
of individual molecular grains, then space may also consist of 'grains'
or 'particles'. Empy space may not be continuous as assumed by current
theory. It is these 'particles' that suggest the existence of the
aether. Here is a quote from the article:

"The work suggests that spacetime may, like a material fluid, be
granular and possess a preferred frame of reference that manifests
itself on fine scales - contray to Einstein's assumptions."
