The Q Particle

  The Resurrection of the Luminiferous Medium By Chuck Bennett An approach to resurrect the concept of the luminiferous medium is presented herein. However, the theory departs from the traditional view of an absolute medium by the introduction of a granular matrix. This involves the quantization of the plenum with a proposed fundamental particle hereby coined the “Q particle”. The properties of the Q particle must adhere to all known phenomena especially to the null result of the Michelson and Morley experiment. Everything is made of atoms and atoms are made of   Q particles. Protons, neutrons, electrons, photons and dark matter are all comprised of Q particles.    The interferometer of Michelson and Morley was part of a localized frame of reference. There is no absolute medium where light and matter are separate from each other, rather, light is evaporated mass and mass is condensed light. Furthermore, I am proposing that light has a mass that is nearly inf...
