The Birth of Electromagnetism from Spacetime

Spacetime Becomes Electromagnetism

The aether particles that broke off from air-aether during collisions gained:

• more speed than the air-aether because they had to travel farther at the same amount of time.
• the ability to change shape so that it could fit anywhere

They became the fire-aether.

The excess fire-aether needed to fill the small gaps in the round air-aether necessarily go around them and must draw back toward the centers around the air-aether.

This is because the air-aether occupies all the other, more distant places.

At those centers, the remaining fire-aether must compose perfectly liquid and subtle round bodies.

The Inverse Square Law Comes From Circular Motion

These incessantly turn much faster than, and in the same direction as, the parts of air-aether surrounding them.

The parts of the fire-aether have the force:

• to increase the agitation of those parts to which they are closest and
• in moving from the center toward the circumference, to push the parts of fire-aether in all directions, just as they push one another.

This action we perceive as light.

Let us assume that round bodies of pure fire-aether are the stars.

The air-aether turns around those stars as stellar gravitational territories [’the heavens’].

Imagine, that:

• the points sun, barnard, sirius, and alphacentauri are the centers
• all the air-aether of the gravitational territory FFFFGG turns around the sun
• all the air-aether of the gravitational territory HGGH turns around the star alphacentauri, and so on for the others.

Thus, each star has a stellar gravitational territory.

• Since the number of stars is indefinite, so too is the number of stellar gravitational territories.

The firmament is the breadthless surface separating all the gravitational territories from one another.

The particles of the air-aether towards F or G are more agitated than those toward K or L.

In this way, the speed of the air-aether decreases little by little from the outside edges of each gravitational territory towards their center area such as:

• the sphere KK around the sun
• the sphere LL around alphacentauri.

It then increases little by little from there to the centers of the gravitational territory because of the agitation of the stars at the center.

Thus, the air-aether towards K draws there a complete circle around the sun.

Those towards earth, which is 10 times closer to the sun, can draw 10 circles (as they would do if they moved only equally fast), but perhaps more than 30.[42]

Again, the air-aether towards F or towards G, which is 2,000-3,000 times more distant. They can perhaps draw more than 60 circles.

This is why:

• the farthest planets move more slowly than those nearest to the sun
• all the planets together move more slowly than the comets, which are more distant.

The Sizes of the Air-Aether Particles Depend on their Location

• Between the edges of FFFFGG and edges of the circle KK, the air-aether has similar sizes, with those at the edges of FFFFGG being slightly smaller than those at the edges of circle KK .
• By contrast, from circle K to the sun, the air-aether nearest to the sun are the smallest and strongest due to their agitation.

The smaller their size, the faster their speed.

• Otherwise, if were large and fast, then they would be flung out to the edges of circle KK

The sizes of the stars can be so small with respect to their stellar gravitational territories. This makes the circles KK, LL, etc mark the edges of the agitated area of these stars which facilitates the smaller particles of the air-aether.

• These circles can be considered as the center of those stellar gravitational territories.
