Let's suppose that all of space is filled with a particle which is a
combination of an electron and a positron. We normally think that an
electron and positron will annihilate into photons, but in this view,
they do not disappear, but rather they hide in the background of pre-
existing positron/electron pairs that make up the aether and the
action of combining releases photons. Conversely, if you send
sufficiently energetic photons into the aether, it will break it up
into positrions and electrons.
How could we possibly scientifically test for the existence of such
neutral positron/electron pairs?
By applying an electric field and looking for polarization. Google
"dielectrics".
By measuring the mass of the ether. An electron-positron pair weighs a
little over an MeV. You'd have to propose a density of electrons and
positrons that would be sufficient to bear the properties of the ether
that you need, and this would tell you how much mass per cubic meter
to expect. This would be *easily* measurable, if you do the math.
I think a field of position/electron
pairs would have very specific characteristics that could be probed.
Is this something that we could use high power accelerators to
determine? Or what do we already know that could rule out such a
possibility.
