Communicating at Translight Velocities

"Great spirits have always encountered violent oppositions from mediocre
minds." - A. Einstein

In the 19th century, science had concluded that reality was based upon
the Aether, a rigid medium that pervaded all of space. The Aether was
required to account for the ability of forces (electric, magnetic,
gravitational, etc.) to "act at distance" and through which the vibrational
disturbance known as light could propagate. Late in the century, the next
obvious step was taken. Attempts were made to measure our velocity through
the Aether. The most notable of those attempts was the Michaelson-Morley
experiment which, to everyone's chagrin, produced a null result.

The difficulty was first resolved in 1903 with conclusions by
Fitzgerald and Larmor. Fitzgerald concluded that what was happening was that
lengths became shorter in the direction of the velocity vector and Larmor
concluded that, if this were true, clocks must slow by a reciprocal amount.
The result was the Lorentz Transformation Aether Theory, which, in
conjunction with the fact that the velocity of light represented the most
rapid means of transferring information, insured that our absolute velocity
through space could not be measured. In 1905, Dr. Einstein showed that the
theory could be derived from fundamental principles and Special Relativity
was off and running. When examined objectively, both theories are found to
be identical (cross-derivable), and differ only in philosophical viewpoint.

One viewpoint asserted that the classical Aether exists but because of
the Lorentz Transformations and the limit on the transfer of information
imposed by the velocity of light, we could not, in principle, measure our
velocity with respect to it. The other viewpoint asserted that, because our
velocity with respect to the Aether could not be measured, it was not valid
to include the Aether in physical theory. This interpretation required that
all velocity reference frames were equally valid and reality did not consist
of space and time as separate entities but was a single entity which was
named space-time.

The mathematics of space-time work as long as they are not abused by
arbitrarily jumping from one velocity reference to another in the same
problem, but science was still left with the problem of explaining "action
at a distance". This difficulty was overcome by the addition of the concept
of "virtual exchange particles" (photons, gluons, gravitons, etc.) whose
existence was of such short duration that the laws of quantum mechanics
allowed them to "pop into and out of existence" without violating the Law of
Conservation of Energy and which acted to exchange momentum (force) between
physically separated entities.

The elimination of the Aether from realm of acceptable physical theory
did not result from observations or the application of rigorous logic. It
was eliminated instead by a consensus opinion upon the part of the
scientific community. Since the Lorentz Contraction-Aether Theory is a
special case solution of the Special Theory of Relativity, the existence of
the classical Aether cannot be disproved without also disproving Special
Relativity. The existence of the Aether can be verified, however, if
information can be transferred between physically separated locations at a
velocity that exceeds the velocity of light! If that can be accomplished,
all that is necessary to determine our "absolute velocity" through space is
to compare the synchronization of clocks set by the hyperluminal information
transfer method with the synchronization of clocks set by electromagnetic
means. The difference in their "now" readings would allow their "absolute
velocity" to be measured and the establishment of our absolute velocity
through space (i.e.- the Aether) by direct observation, exactly as
Michaelson and Morley wished to do.

In the 1980's experiments were performed which showed that the quantum
coupling of the polarization of "paired photons" could be observed as
propagating at a velocity at least 4 times the velocity of light (and
perhaps at an infinite velocity). IT MUST BE RECOGNIZED THAT, SINCE CHANGING
THE POLARIZATION OF A PHOTON DOES NOT CHANGE ITS ENERGY, TRANSFERING
INFORMATION THROUGH THE POLARIZATION COUPLING OF PHOTONS REPRESENTS A
TRANSFER OF INFORMATION WIHTOUT ANY TRANSFER OF ENERGY. Since transfer of
energy is not involved, the limitation on the velocity of transfer of
information which is encoded by energy which is imposed by the Lorentz
Transformations does not apply. Since energy is not part of the information
encoding there is no theoretical restriction currently known which limits
the velocity of transfer of information encoded as a quantum number. The
paired photons travel at the velocity of light, but their polarization
coupling, in principle, can travel at any velocity up to infinity. This is
consistent with one of the two interpretations of quantum theory (considered
"spooky" by Dr. Einstein) in which quantum effects propagate thoughout space
at infinite velocity. (The other interpretation is that at every instant of
time, every quantum event in the Universe produces a parallel Universe that
occupies the same space as our own and contains as much energy. Such an
interpretation requires the continuous input of energy to the Universe at a
virtually infinite rate and requires that a virtually infinite number of
particles occupy the same space at the same time. The writer is old
fashioned enough to accept that energy cannot be created or destroyed and
that two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time and therefore
rejects such a concept as foolish.)

The reason that it has been impossible to transfer information at
translight velocities is that we have always attempted to encode the
information in the form of energy. Consider the Lorentz Transformations as
expressed in a Force-Length-Time system of units:

Force = 1
Length = 1/(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5
Time = (1-V^2/C^2)^0.5

In this system, the Lorentz Transformation for Energy (Force times
Length) is equal to the Lorentz Transformation for length and becomes
infinite at the velocity of light and imaginary at velocities higher than
the velocity of light. The situation is different if we consider the
transformation of information by the coupling of the polarization angle of
paired photons. Since angles are measured in radians, which is the length
along an arc divided by the radius of the arc, the Lorentz Transformation
for Angle is equal to the Lorentz Transformation for Length divided by the
Lorentz Transformations for Length and is equal to unity, as is the Lorentz
Transformation for Force. One might conclude from these transformations that
not only is the velocity of polarization coupling not limited to the
velocity of light, it should be INFINITE. If this is the case the "spooky"
interpretation of quantum theory is not spooky after all, it represents
reality. It is the "Parallel Universe" concept, which is incorrect.

The diagram of the original experimental setup is shown in
http://members.isp.com/einsteinhoaxi...nhoax/cf51.gif . The
experimenters attempted to use a modification of this experimental setup to
transmit information at velocities greater than lightspeed. In this effort
they were unsuccessful. The information that was received consisted of
random noise. It is reported that later attempts were made using laser
amplifiers to greatly increase the signal to noise ratio of the signal. That
effort was also unsuccessful and it was concluded that Nature conspired to
interfere with the transmission of information at translight velocities.

The failure of this attempt at the transmission of information at
translight velocities was foredoomed, regardless of any conspiracy of Nature
to prevent translight communication. It had to fail because the
experimenters were violating the basic requirements of a communication
system. The paired photons, as emitted, were randomly phased and the phasing
of those photons was then modulated to represent the information. What the
experimenters were attempting to do was to phase modulate a randomly phased
carrier. At the receiving end of such a system, the information is present
but it is indecipherable because its phase has also been modulated by the
randomly phased carrier noise and is therefore appears as random noise.

This limitation can be overcome by eliminating the random phasing of
the paired photons at their source using additional polarizers set at an
angle of 45 degrees to the transmitting and receiving polarizer's axes as
shown in the figure at
. (There
does not seem to be any reason why it would be detrimental to insert laser
amplifiers between the paired photon source to improve signal to noise
ratio.) With this modification, the detectable peak to peak signal, as
received, would be expected to have an amplitude of 50% of the amplitude of
the original paired photons (ideal case assuming no losses). AT THIS POINT,
THE FEASIBILIY OF ACHIEVING TRANSLIGHT COMMUNICATION HAS CEASED TO RELY ON
PHYSICS, IT HAS BECOME A STRAIGHTFORWARD ENGINEERING PROBLEM WHOSE SUCCESS
IS ONE CAN PREDICT WITH CONFIDENCE. Assuming the original experiment
described in figure
worked as
reported, translight communication will be demonstrated. (A recent program
of NOVA on PBS showed an experiment in which music was transmitted at a
modest translight velocity. Since this feat has been achieved, it should
only be a matter of time before it is used to establish our absolute
velocity through space. If successfully made, such an observation of
"absolute velocity" would throw the currently accepted idea of space-time
into a cocked hat (where it undoubtedly belongs since it is based upon a
consensus opinion and not provable fact) and return science to the idea of
the classical Aether. (The text associated with these diagrams can be
accessed at
.

A recent posting has brought a question to the writer's attention. It
was asserted that passing the paired photon's through the 45 degree
polarizers, as suggested, would destroy the coupling between them. Searching
through the material available to the writer provides no firm answer to this
possibility. All is not lost, however, if the crossed polarizers detroy the
polarization coupling, they may be eliminated. The detectors at the left
side of the diagram will still detect information propagated at the velocity
of the polarization coupling and probably at a better signal to noise ratio.
(Doubters will please note that, in contrast to what many may believe and in
agreement with the last paragraph of this posting, the writer does excercise
care in making sure that his writings represent valid science.)

Remember that Dr. Einstein warned "we have not proven that the Aether
doesn't exist, we have merely proven we do not need it (for calculations).
Also remember that it took 25 years of peer pressure to cause Dr. Einstein
to relinquish the idea of "absolute time" (equivalent to believing the
Aether) and accepting the unproven consensus viewpoint of space-time as a
single entity.

If this is correct why hasn't Officer Greysky brought this to
our respectful attention? And why does Uncle Al have so little
confidence in your declarations despite long net reposting of your
affirmations? Why not perform finally an peer examined experiment
confirming your observations instead of net whining about it? Results
speak louder the words. Admittedly, our cosmic Darla says it can be done
but remember she has a few million years on you. Reduction to practice
is self evidentiary proof, give it a try.

ponder on,
