1.3.5 Aether and Quintessence
Aether was used in ancient and medieval science as a thin transparent material that fills the upper spheres where planets revolve. The concept was used again in the 18th century to explain the propagation of light and gravitation. This continued until the late 19th century in what is called: luminiferous aether, or light-bearing aether, which was needed to allow the apparently wave-based light to propagate through empty space. The concept was contradictory because this medium must be invisible, infinite and without any interaction with physical objects. Therefore, the concept was completely discarded after the null results of Michelson-Morley experiments in 1887. After the development of Special Relativity, aether theories became scientifically obsolete, although Einstein himself said that his model could itself be thought of as an aether, since empty space now has its own physical properties. In 1951, Dirac reintroduced the concept of aether in an attempt to address the perceived deficiencies in current models, thus in 1999 one proposed model of dark energy has been named: quintessence, or the fifth fundamental force. As a scalar field, the quintessence is considered as some form of dark energy which could provide an alternative postulate to explain the observed accelerating rate of the expansion of the Universe, rather than Einstein’s original postulate of cosmological constant.
The classical concept of aether was rejected because it required ideal properties that could not be attributed to any hypothetical medium that was thought to be filling the otherwise empty space background. With the new dynamic creation, however, those ideal properties of aether can now be explained, because it is no longer something filling the otherwise empty space, but it is the space itself, being dynamically created in the inner levels.
However, in the light of the Duality of Time, there is now a fine distinction between aether and quintessence. Quintessence, which literally means: the fifth essence, is the Single Monad itself, which is the real individual metaphysical point of geometry, while aether is the medium produced by its continuous recurrence in the inner levels of time. Therefore, in addition to the above homogeneity problem, the magnetic monopole can be thought of at this fifth essence, which exists effectively everywhere but it can never be isolated, since it is the individual metaphysical points of space-time geometry. For this reason, we do not witness the magnetic force alone, but it is always accompanied by the electric and other forces. This same issue can be also analyzed further to solve the hierarchy problem because all the forces are now associated with the dimensions of space, so gravity is very weak simply because it is exhausted in the volume and the other forces are the properties of lower dimensions.
The science of Time is a noble science, that reveals the secret of Eternity. Only the Elites of Sages may ever come to know this secret. It is called the First Age, or the Age of ages, from which time is emerging.
