Michelson-Morely experiment could not prove the presence of the aether. But how does aether affect matter waves? Should we look for aether by influencing matter wave rather than light?
I have shown in a recent work that a quantum particle moving at constant velocity experiences a drag force proportional to -mv/t_0, where t_0=h/mc^2 but a wave does not show this. Because of this the particle exhibits a jittery motion. Its motion is like the fish motion in a river.
Hi!
Good question. I think, you thought that since elementary particles other than photons have a speed less than c, and therefore, a change in speed of the particle across two different directions wrt the aether should be noticeable. Am I right?
But, in CERN/LHC, scientists are making particles collide after firing them in opposite trajectories. If there is some drag due to aether, it must have got noticed, I believe.
And, can you please give suitable reference to support your claim: "I have shown in a recent work that a quantum particle moving at constant velocity experiences a drag force proportional to -mv/t_0, where t_0=h/mc^2 but a wave does not show this. Because of this the particle exhibits a jittery motion. Its motion is like the fish motion in a river."?
Dear Arbab,
Thanks for the article. May I ask the journal in which it was published?
