How the Universe Works: Fact & Appearance in Physics and Cosmology - Pt 6, Gravity

Abstract

The ether is solid, not fluid, as shown by breaking an old pair of polaroid sun glasses and rotating one lens through 90 degrees in front of the other -- the resultant opacity confirms that light is a polarised shear wave in a solid medium. The other thing to know is that light speed is slower in the reduced ether density near a large gravitating body, as seen in the bending of starlight close to the Sun.
