5.  We point out here that measuring a field of force existing in the electron gas in a probe of the measuring instrument is not at all the same thing as measuring a force in the vacuum, nor does it establish that a force exists in vacuum.  Indeed, it is already well known that the FIELD concept itself will not withstand rigorous logical examination.  For a discussion rather clearly showing the present difficulty in defining a field, see Robert Bruce Lindsay and Henry Margenau, Foundations of Physics, Dover Publications, New York, 1963, pp. 283-287.  Note particularly on p. 283 that a "field of force" at any point is actually DEFINED only for the case when a unit mass is present at that point.  It is then illogically ASSUMED that the force continues to exist at the point in the ABSENCE of the mass, which of course need not follow at all.  On p. 284, note the similar logical paradox connected with the idea of a scalar gravitational potential field.  The potential (field) is only defined at a point when mass is present at that point, .and it is specifically defined as the potential energy per unit mass for a particle present at that point.  IF THERE IS NO MASS PRESENT, NEITHER A FORCE VECTOR FIELD NOR A SCALAR POTENTIAL FIELD IS DEFINED THERE.  ASSIGNMENT OF THESE FIELDS TO THE POINT IN THE ABSENCE OF THE MASS IS AN ASSUMPTION, NOT AT ALL A DEFINITION.  SINCE A TRUE DEFINITION IS AN IDENTITY, THEN THE ENTITY IDENTIFIED (DEFINED) TO INCLUDE THE PRESENCE OF MASS IS NOT IDENTICAL TO THE ENTITY RESULTING WHEN THAT MASS IS ABSENTED.
          To see just how arbitrary and postulational are present. "definitions" of mass and force, see Lindsay and Margenau, op. cit., pp. 84-101.  Also see Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, and Matthew Sands, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Addison-Wesley, New York, Vol.1,. 1963, Fourth Printing July 1966, p.2-4 for a definition of the electric field in the context of its POTENTIALITY for producing a force.  Again, the force only exists when a particle of mass is present.  From these examples, one can see the implication that A PHYSICAL FIELD IS SOMETHING SUCH THAT, WHEN A MASS IS INTRODUCED INTO IT, THE MASS EXHIBITS AN EFFECT.  For a "force field," this is tantamount to stating that there exists some mechanism connected with a field which, in the presence of a mass causes a force to be exhibited.  In that case the force is an EFFECT, not a cause, and there is a more fundamental mechanism that GENERATES FORCE ITSELF.  See also field discussions in Feynman, Richard, The Character of Physical Law, M.I.T.

6.  While in Europe prior to 1881, Albert Abraham Michelson performed his first interferometer experiments to determine the velocity of the earth through the ether, obtaining essentially null results.  At the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Ohio, he perfected his interferometer experiment from 1883 to 1887, assisted by a colleague, chemist Edward Williams Morley.  By 1887 the results were ready and announced. Michelson himself thought his experiment had proven Stokes' theory of an ether dragged along by the earth in motion, and thus motionless with respect to the earth.  This was at odds, however, with certain other experiments indicating a moving ether.  The Michelson-Morley experiment was finally reconciled with these other experiments by Fitzgerald's suggestion in 1892 that the physical dimensions of material bodies are altered when they are in motion.  In 1907 Michelson was awarded the Nobel prize, the first American to receive it in the sciences.

8.  The field, of course, is indeed a highly useful concept and this author certainly does not recommend its abandonment.  Instead, he recommends that it be placed on a sounder logical basis. 

9.  Specifically, they came to feel that the "electric field" which was improperly defined -- was what was waving. 

10.  In fact Einstein once proposed that the vacuum, complete with its electromagnetic and gravitational fields, should be called the ether.  His proposal was not adopted.  (See Born, Max, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Revised Edition, Dover Publications, New York, 1965, p.  224. )

11.  Particularly from the work of Schrodinger, Born, Dirac and others. 

12.  For example, see Lindsay and Marge. nau, op. cit., pp. 287-288.  A physical vector is thought to be defined by its magnitude, its direction in space, and its transformation characteristics.  Actually that is a geometrical vector, not a physical vector.  It does not tell us WHAT A VECTOR CONSISTS OF, but only tells us some of its important characteristics.  Remember that a true definition must be an identity. 

13.  Here a reading of Lindsay and Margenau, op. cit., pp. 79-81 may prove enlightening.  Also note that velocity, or L/T considered "at an instant" (stopped), represents an idea of "motionless motion" and is an application of the fourth law of logic.  For a discussion of the fourth law of logic and its usage, see Bearden, Thomas E., "A Conditional Criterion for Identity, Leading to a Fourth Law of Logic," Specula, Journal of the A.A.M.S., P.O. Box 1182, Huntsville, AL 35807, combined Vol. 3, No. 4/Vol. 4, No. 3, Oct 1980 - Mar 1981, pp. 50-57 (also available from Defense Technical Information Service). 

14.  Note this is an identity of opposites, which explicitly violates the three Aristotlean laws of logic.  See Bearden, "A Conditional Criterion for Identity, Leading to a Fourth Law of Logic," loc. cit., 1981. 

15.  Again note the fourth law of logic:  zero motion (the absence of motion) being recognized as a special case of the presence of motion.  Also, physical reality consists of internested levels, and any physical object has an internal substructure of nested levels of finer structure, extending down into the virtual (nonobserved) state.  For a vector to model (apply to) a physical object, it itself must be modeled in such fashion as to reflect this kind of substructure.  Thus the use of geometrical vectors as models of physical objects in motion is presently flawed in a fundamental fashion. 

16.  The reader is most strongly urged to read Morris Kline, Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty, Oxford University Press, New York, 1980 as a prelude to understanding what mathematics is and is not, and what it does and does not. 

17.  Refer to Lindsay & Margenau, op. cit., pp. 79-81 to see how the ideas of motion and vector are inextricably entangled with the idea of a particle. 

18.  Call it uncertainty or call it constituency; a quantum change is composed of two canonical entities inextricably welded together into a single entity. 

19.  Time is an unavoidable, nonexclusive constituency of the welded quantum. 

20.  Simply from the definition of force as CONSISTING OF a time- and length-smeared mass motion change. 

21.  The force is an effect, not a cause.  It IS the smeared charged particle.  It is CAUSED by a more fundamental mechanism.  It is the result of the combination of (1) a nonzero del phi, and (2) the presence of a spinning charged particle.  IN A DEL PHI, THE SPINNING CHARGED PARTICLE ACCELERATES ITSELF!  This is the fundamental secret of free energy that was suppressed, to bury the fundamental work of Nikola Tesla, shortly after Tesla was forced to abort his Wardenclyffe attempt to provide the world with free energy.

24.  Note the Soviet scientist Kozyrev's experiments with time waves.  See Kozyrev, N. A., "Possibility of Experimental Study of the Properties of Time," September 1967, pp. 1-49, in JPRS 45238, May 1968.  Kozyrev reports real physical effects from the oscillation of time.  Also, note that scalar potential energy of appreciable size with respect to a particle's rest energy can force the situation to be relativistic, even though the velocity of the particle with respect to the velocity of light is small.  That is, electrostatic scalar potential alone can cause variation in the rate of flow of time and hence vary physical characteristics.  See Bloch & Crater, "Lorentz-invariant potentials and the non-relativistic limit," American Journal of Physics, Vol. 49, No.1, 1981, pp. 67-75.  By inference, oscillating the electrostatic scalar potential can produce time waves and lead to direct physical effects. 

25.  It is already shown in the literature that the electrostatic scalar potential (ESP) can affect spacetime (ST) in the same manner as velocity.  Cf Bloch & Crater, op. cit., 1981.  Now note that, to any quantal or macroscopic observer, the existence of the 4-space volume of ST implicit in (Δt)(Δv), where v is volume, cannot be separated from the existence of the subquantal entities that exist therein.  We therefore DEFINE the magnitude of the ESP as the summation of the absolute values of all the internal virtual vectors in the (Δt)(Δv) quantum of ST, divided by the absolute value (magnitude) of (Δt)(Δv).  We take the view that no such thing as "unstressed" ST physically exists, and that "spacetime" and "stressed spacetime" are identical.  Hence ESP and ST are one and the same thing.  Note that this implies that the virtual density of ST is
variable, and is nothing but the magnitude of the ESP.  In EM theory, the assumption that the ESP of vacuum (ØO) is equal to zero is in serious error.  In fact, ØO IS "spacetime of the laboratory observer," in the new view. 

26.  For example, the definition of the electrostatic potential (ESP) is usually taken as "the work which must be done against electric forces to bring a unit charge from a reference point to the point in question; the reference point is located at an infinite distance, or, for practical purposes, at the surface of the earth or some other large conductor."  (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of. Scientific and Technical Terms, ed.  Daniel N. Lapedes, second edition, 1978, p.  518.)  Note that this is NOT a definition at all, for it is not an identity.  Instead, it is the statement that, if an ESP exists at a point and a unit charged mass (assumed to be at a point) is brought in from infinity toward the ESP location point, the amount of work it is necessary to expend upon the mass of the particle is equal to the magnitude of the ESP.  The ESP exists whether or not any work at all is expended, and whether or not a charged unit mass is brought in.  To adequately define ESP, we must define its identity, or what it consists of, in the absence of mass, since we have conceived the ESP to exist at a vacuum point.  Further, the definition usually taken is completely a 3-space definition.  Instead, in our new view the ESP is to be taken at a point in n-space, where n is equal to or greater than 4.
