[net.physics] Well, maybe there IS ether

zben@umd5.UUCP (07/14/85)

For those following the recent unification of quantum electrodynamics and
the weak nuclear force, does the Higgs field/False Vacuum theory amount to
an ether (after all, it is everywhere, and higher energy than true vacuum)?
It would just be an ether that has no inertia (inertial mass) so that
experiments like the Michaelson-Morley would not be able to detect it...
