Yah, Einstein prove that scientist of the past where wrong about aether in space. I've actually study some recordings of Einstein voice(some you can find here on youtube)and this doen't sound anything like him.

This video is sure to make HS kids lose 10 points in their extra credit project. Einstein theorized the curvature of space, time slowing down, mass increasing at speeds close to the speed of light, etc... all without the concept of an aether.

it's not his voice that is used here !

Einstein was the first to explain the null result by not invoking the aether concept at all.

Earlier comments seem to suggest that Michelson Morley were promoting the aether concept. To my understanding, the entire generation of scientists believed that the aether must exist, including Maxwell. They had even formulated the physical properties that the aether must have the be the medium for EM radiation. The null result obtained by M M perplexed everyone. Then there were different explanations invented for the null result, while still keeping the aether.

so you are suggesting that the energy- mass consevation laws (themselves) are NOT promoting the concept of free energy?energy cannot be created nor destroyed -what does that tell you? I am also well aware that physicist Willard Gibbs' equations state that there's no free energy, even 2nd law of thermodynamics tells us that.e.g (A boat cannot be expected to propel itself forward just simply by relying on the warm ocean surface of the water etc...

Something along these lines has no doubt already been posted but...
For an aether to exist in Einstein world it must be a non-particulate aether. Einstein said this himself (of course!). This goes against the classic thoughts on what an aether should actually be, but it doesn't mean one absolutely cannot exist.

Hahahahahahahaha! AH-hahahahahahahaHA-HAH! That's great! XD

One small correction, the Michelson-Morley experiment turned up a null result. It was supposed to measure the Earth's velocity through the ether, but it found that it was zero, regardless of the Earth's position in it's orbit around the Sun. But I agree with your main idea, nacipr, anyone who suggests Einstein declares an ether necessary is very uninformed. Those in the academic community realize that there is no free lunch (at least, as far as energy is concerned).

why do they want us to beleive in a free energy concept? |
