19. Einstein's Theories and Quantum Physics
Mon Nov 3, 2025, 09:15 PM
Nov 2025

Thank you for pointing out my dumb mistake. I had not posted anything for a long time on this website and nowhere else either, for that matter. That is offered as an excuse. A casual interest in particle physics finally convinced me to purchase a book entitled "Why does E= mc^2? (and why should we care?)" by Brian Cox & Jeff Forshaw and then a second one, "Relativity Simply Explained" by Martin Gardner Illustrated by Anthony Ravielli. Einstein's Theory of General Relativity apparently according to my understanding replaces the Aether Theory with Spacetime. It is hinted that there may be an Ether or Aether, but it cannot be detected by currently available optical means. I listed these two references since they might relate to your field of interest.
