Twentieth
Century Physical Science has been hallmarked
by two powerful Physical Theories, Relativity
(Albert Einstein) and the Planetary Atom (Niels
Bohr), which despite their usefulness, have
constrained many scientists unfortunately to
think within that frame of reference.
With the gradual disappearance of the Ether
(Relativity) the Physical Space in which to
place the Atom and rebuild its structure (1),
(2), also disappears.
The experiments started by Trowbridge to study
the physical properties of the Ether had no
followers (2), and today only the Zero Point
Energy Field (Ether) physical properties are
going to be reinvestigated again (2), (3).
Niels Bohr’s reluctance to incorporate
Parson’s idea of the Magnetic Electron
caused the nominal electron orbits , contrary
to the laws of Electrodynamics, to become Official
Science, and, in the words of J. J. Thompson
“as far as atoms with many electrons are
concerned Bohr’s Planetary Model becomes
hopelessly intricate” (2).
As a consequence of these entrenched models
of the Background Space (Ether, Zero Point Energy
Field) and of the Atom, when Fleischmann and
Pons showed experimental evidence of the Transmutation
of the Elements (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions)
(4) in 1989, the world physics community was
largely unprepared to accept or to examine objectively
the New Physics concerned by these phenomena.
