Theories Citing This Reference (3)
Ether as Spacetime Medium
The vacuum is not empty but filled with a physical medium (ether/ZPE) that has properties of permittivity and permeability, dictating the speed of light.
Ether-Based Electromagnetism
Electromagnetic waves do not travel through empty space but through a physical medium (ether), which allows for the regeneration of fields and potentially the extraction of Zero Point Energy.
Variable Speed of Light via Vacuum Manipulation
The theory that the speed of light is not constant but can be altered by manipulating the permittivity and permeability of the quantum vacuum.
