Morton Spears' Ether

Morton Spears' Quantum Space is not the same thing as the ether.

The ether was a transmission medium in which light waves traveled through space. Morton Spears' space is not an efficient transmission medium, and light is not waves but particles.

Rather than acting like a transmission medium, Morton Spares' Quantum Space acts as an interfering agent. It causes scatter, and interference.

Transmission through the ether was thought of as follows:
  1. A transmitter vibrates
  2. The ether vibrates
  3. The receiver vibrates
Transmission using Morton Spears' Quantum Space works as follows:
  1. A transmitter vibrates
  2. A nearby low energy photon is kicked higher in energy
  3. The photon travels through space
  4. The photon hits a receiver
  5. The photon is kicked back down in energy by the receiver
  6. The receiver vibrates
Still, the idea of a traditional ether is often a practical way to think about light and radio transmission. James Maxwell's equations are based on the idea that light waves travel through an ether.
