The Material Connection Between Classical Mechanics and Modern Physics

Abstract

Hu Chang-Wei*

Classical mechanics is intuitive, clear, and deterministic, but it is generally regarded as an approximate description applicable only under macroscopic, low-speed, and weak gravitational field conditions. In contrast, the quantitative description of modern physics is quite accurate, but it presents non-intuitive anomalies. Why is this the case? This paper argues that there exists a special material connection between classical mechanics and modern physics, which gives rise to the non-intuitive nature of the latter. The matter of this connection is the physical vacuum, which is called the ether. The ether is omnipresent, and humans always observe the world through it. Relativistic effects can be understood as lensing effects caused by variations in ether density. The peculiar phenomena of the microscopic world, such as quantum behavior, are related not only to the lensing effect of the ether but also to its microscopic structure. Due to the ether's lensing effect, there is a dislocation between the precise quantitative descriptions of modern physics and the truth of facts. The theory of compressibility ether based on absolute spacetime view can restore the truth of facts, but in quantitative terms, we should take modern physics as the standard, and the two are complementary. The relativistic effect is a vacuum effect caused by the change of ether density, not a physical object effect, so an experimental idea is put forward.
