Frank Wilczek (M.I.T.) won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004. He wrote "Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces".

RfM entertains some scientists and many who are interested in Science. Would anyone care to comment on Wilczek his book his Nobel and his place in the world of Physics? I'd love to read it.

I find him fascinating in this bloggingheads.tv conversation with Robert Wright:

In it he briefly outlines how Light and Matter are not separate things but are an amalgam of each other.


"We've found that we can get a much nicer description of the world by postulating that we live in a medium [the way fish live in a medium] that changes the way Matter behaves, in particular, slows down how lots of particles behave, that changes them from particles that move at the speed of light to particles that --since they are dragging along pieces of this medium--move slower, so they look like they have Mass. There's a medium that fills the Universe that changes the properties of things, just as fish in water have their world change by being in the water.

It's very much like an Ether."


Anyway, interesting stuff.

I am still trying to measure the speed of dark.

This ether is what yogis merge into. We experience forms and material objects as light constructs, as "condensed light". We experience reality as a projected hologram.

So this invisible medium that we live in, changes the way matter behaves by slowing down particles? I think we should name it Air.
