It was proposed that, though the weight of modern experimentation leaves an extremely narrow and convoluted window for even a reconceptualization of a medium, all of modern physics recognizes a plethora of behaviors and attributes for free space and these physics are interchangeable with modern methods for treating superfluid-like continuums. Thus the mathematical equivalence of the methods do not comprise alternative physics but an alternative interpretation of the same physics. Though many individual components describing a "neo-aether" are available, an overarching structural outline of how these tools can work together to provide an alternative working overview of modern physics has remained undefined. This paper will propose a set of introductory concepts in the first outline of a toy model which will later connect the alternative tools and conceptualizations with their modern counterparts. This introductory paper provides the simpler "100-miles out" overview of the whole of physics from this perspective, in an easily comprehensible, familiar and intuitive, and informal dialog fashion. While this paper grants the largest and loosest introductory overview, subsequent papers in this series will address the finite connections between modern physics and this hydrodynamic view.

Relative Simultaneity in Phased Arrays: Challenging Minkowski Spacetime Predictions

While relativistic aberration is well understood for single-source light beams [4], phased arrays-which rely on precise timing for wave interference-transform differently under Lorentz transformations [6]. The resulting frame-dependent beam paths raise interesting questions about the nature of simultaneity and the transformation of interference patterns in relativistic frameworks [7]. This analysis suggests new experimental approaches to studying fundamental aspects of reference frame physics, with implications for our understanding of wave phenomena in relativistic frames.

Practical Design of an Ansible: Quantum Collapse Signaling via Weak Measurement Biases.

Through the framework of an 'Ansible'—a theoretical device enabling faster-than-light information transfer—we propose an experimental test that leverages weak measurement techniques to create locally measurable statistical biases in quantum states while preserving entanglement. This approach challenges a fundamental contradiction in orthodox quantum mechanics: the claim that measurement of one entangled particle instantly affects its partner, yet cannot transmit information. Our method employs weak measurements to create known biases in entangled particles, followed by strategically timed strong measurements that should, according to quantum mechanical principles, instantly alter these biases at a distance. The design provides a specific experimental test of instant action at a distance using proven technology, forcing a choice between orthodox quantum mechanics' claims about instantaneous collapse and its assertions about the impossibility of faster-than-light communication.

We provide herein, the first step toward a possible solution to this paradox via reinterpretation of the conceptual-theoretical framework while still preserving the modern art and tools in an unaltered form. This redivision of concepts and redistribution of the data can revolutionize expectations of new experimental outcomes. This major change within finely tuned constraints is made possible by the fact that numerous mathematically equivalent theories were direct precursors to, and contemporaneous with, the modern interpretations. In this first of a series of papers, historical investigation of the conceptual lineage of modern theory reveals points of exacting overlap in physical theories which, while now considered cross discipline, originally ...

The Neoclassical Interpretation of Modern Physics and Its Implication for an Information Theory Based Interpretation of Spirituality

This superfluid model of mechanics and the known behaviors of superfluids is suggested as a possible substrate and system for the storage and processing of data. Methods of data storage found in natural systems such as the brain are compared via extensive use of analogies to support the conjecture that a rational and mechanical basis for spirituality can be supported under the neoclassical interpretation because of the inherent persistent structure and interaction of the suggested pervasive medium. This model of information theory spiritualism is suggested as a basis for the unification of ...

Through the development of computers, as the crucial application of mathematical methods has grown, the limits of our specific methods and applications have become far more clear, more quickly, than they ever could have without massive computing power. The limits hinted at by Godel are becoming more specific and applicable rather than vague idealizations. The very nature of our computation methods have become fundamentally unsuited to meet our requirements. We have recognized the necessity for "massively parallel" systems even if our current incarnations of them are less than truly concurrent. Simultaneously, physics has begun to probe the strange borderline between information and energy that were first encountered with questions of the EPR paradox. With the physics community recognizing its own need for revolution, some writers have suggested that the solution be an ...
