Just for the fun of it, some back of the envelope calcs. on the density of
aether. First assumption, the aether is composed of photons. Second let's
consider it to be a particle. We know that light from a single source changes
every 1 X 10 -8 seconds. We also know that light travels approx. 3.0 x 10 +8
meters per second. Third, let's assume the reason the light changes every 1 x
10 -8 seconds is because it collides with another photon. If we calculate the
number of collisions per millimeter of travel, we find that the number of
photons, based on the above, per cubic millimeter is 1 x 10 +45. Enough to
give us a reasonable sea and maybe an idea of how much energy is available
all around us. Nuts, huh? But fun.
