What we may be looking at in the bright spots of this picture of glass is the core of the atom and the grayer shades where the edges meet?

Atoms have no space in them, the EM field comes from the core of the nucleus. In the core of the earth or the atom there is no aether filling the gaps between atoms, they are compressed together and function as one. The aether around the core compresses as if it were heat radiating from the core but instead creates a field. Two of the same fields attract because the core has infinity in it in size and temperature and are like infinite sinks floating in the infinite cold and big and expanse. Instead of the sinks pulling in the aether like water, they pull together.

Is this from Ken Wheeler?

The most common type of glass, silicate glass, is made from silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is a 3D network of tetrahedra. In this network, each corner oxygen atom is shared with the adjacent tetrahedron. The tetrahedral units can also form chains and sheets, which are used to make other ceramics.

Translucency in a substance refers to its ability to transmit light while scattering it to some degree. The understanding of translucency is rooted in the field of optics and the interaction of light with matter.

The theory explaining the phenomenon of translucency was developed by English physicist Lord Rayleigh, also known as John William Strutt, in the late 19th century. His work on scattering of light and the behavior of small particles within a medium laid the foundation for our understanding of translucency.

Lord Rayleigh's theory, known as the Rayleigh scattering theory, explains that when light encounters particles or structures within a substance that are smaller than the wavelength of the incident light, the light is scattered in all directions. This scattering of light contributes to the substance's translucency rather than complete transparency or opacity.

To prove the theory of Rayleigh scattering and understand the phenomenon of translucency, several experiments have been conducted. Some notable experiments include:

Tyndall Effect: John Tyndall, an Irish physicist, observed the scattering of light by colloidal particles in a transparent medium. This effect, now known as the Tyndall effect, demonstrated the scattering of light in a translucent material, making the path of light visible through the medium.
Electromagnetic Wave Scattering: Experiments involving the scattering of electromagnetic waves, including visible light, by small particles or structures within a medium, have provided evidence for the theory of Rayleigh scattering. These experiments have helped establish the relationship between the size of the scattering particles and the wavelength of the incident light.
Microscopic Analysis: Microscopic analysis of substances with translucent properties allows scientists to observe the scattering of light at a microscopic level. By examining the structure and composition of a material, researchers can gain insights into the scattering mechanisms responsible for its translucency.
Optical Measurements: Sophisticated optical instruments, such as spectrophotometers, have been used to measure and analyze the transmission and scattering properties of translucent materials. These measurements provide quantitative data on the amount of light transmitted and scattered, helping to validate the theory of translucency.
Through a combination of theoretical understanding, experimental observations, and advancements in optical technologies, our understanding of translucency and the Rayleigh scattering theory has been refined and confirmed.

All matter taken down to its sub atomic state is nothing more than energy. Even a steel bar if you look down small enough isn't hard at all. It's just a very tightly packed seething mass of energy. That's why the more matter in one spot the more energy, the more energy the gravity it creates as it draws other energy towards it.

why are some substances transparent, who came up with the theory, when, and what are experiments as proof?


GPT-3.5-Turbo

Substances are transparent when they allow light to pass through them with little or no scattering or absorption. The understanding of transparency in materials is based on the interaction of light with the atomic and molecular structure of the substance.

The theory explaining transparency was developed by multiple scientists throughout history, and its understanding has evolved over time. Here are some key contributors to our understanding of transparency:

Ancient Greeks: The ancient Greeks, including philosophers like Empedocles and Democritus, proposed that vision involves the emission of "visual rays" from the eyes interacting with objects. While their theories did not directly address transparency, they laid the groundwork for the understanding of light and vision.
Ibn al-Haytham: The Persian scientist Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) made significant contributions to optics in the 11th century. He formulated experimental methods to study light and vision, including the use of controlled experiments with transparent objects, mirrors, and lenses. While he did not provide a comprehensive theory of transparency, his work laid the foundation for future advancements.
Isaac Newton: In the 17th century, Isaac Newton conducted experiments and proposed the particle theory of light, which suggested that light consists of particles (later known as photons) that travel in straight lines. Newton's work contributed to the understanding of how light interacts with matter, but his theory did not fully explain transparency.
Thomas Young: In the early 19th century, Thomas Young, an English scientist, conducted experiments on light interference and diffraction. His work demonstrated the wave nature of light, which was crucial for understanding transparency. Young's experiments with double-slit interference helped establish the wave theory of light.
Augustin-Jean Fresnel: Fresnel, a French physicist, made significant contributions to the understanding of light and optics in the early 19th century. He developed the wave theory of light and proposed that light waves vibrate perpendicular to their direction of propagation. Fresnel's work on light polarization and diffraction provided insights into transparency and its dependence on the orientation of light waves.
Experiments conducted to demonstrate transparency and validate the theories include:

Light Transmission: Observing the transmission of light through various materials, such as glass, water, or air, demonstrates their transparency. By shining light through substances and measuring the intensity and wavelength of transmitted light, researchers can study the behavior of transparent materials.
Absorption Spectroscopy: Absorption spectroscopy involves passing light through a sample and analyzing the wavelengths of light absorbed by the material. Transparent substances exhibit minimal absorption in specific wavelength ranges, further confirming their transparency.
Optical Microscopy: Optical microscopes equipped with transmitted light illumination allow scientists to observe and study the transparency of thin sections or samples. By examining the interaction of light with the sample's structure, researchers can gain insights into its transparency properties.
Optical Fiber Experiments: Experiments involving the use of optical fibers, which rely on the transmission of light through transparent materials, provide practical evidence of transparency. The successful transmission of light signals through fiber optic cables demonstrates the transparency and efficient propagation of light in those materials.
It's important to note that the understanding of transparency has evolved over time, with contributions from multiple scientists and ongoing research. Theories and experiments continue to refine our understanding of why some substances are transparent and how light interacts with matter.

I didn't say much about the light being colorful. I said the light emitted by the smaller atoms in the molecule is casting light over the whole picture. Do you still not understand specific heat? I don't think I'm interested in opaque dry wall being the answer enough to look into it so if you're not going to explain yourself and your 'answers' then I'm done here.

I've been looking into gravity recently, trying to figure things out. There's the theory that gravity is all about time dilation, which is interesting, can't quite get my head around it, I feel there's something missing.

Gravity varies depending on a location. Earth Gravity is not all the same either. And Earth and the Moon vary a lot.

Specific heat is a physical property of matter ... the amount of energy required to be added fora certain temperature increase ... for example, we must add a joule of energy to a gram of air to raise the temperature 1ºC ... here's a link to a textbook explanation and a chart with the specific heat of various materials ...

Photons are much much smaller than atoms ... so small they easily pass right through the spaces between electrons and nuclei ... for the rock that makes up drywall, there's sub-atomic motions that greedily suck up any passing photon ... there's room for the photon to pass by, but it's being sucked in and absorbed ... window glass is not so at visible wavelengths, photons pass right through, although it is very opaque in the IR part of the spectrum, how gardener's greenhouses work ...

Thus the premise of your OP:

Atoms have no space in them ...

... is flawed, thus all of your logic here is flawed ... starting with a misunderstanding of what "heat" is ... or why "heat" has three laws ...

I still enjoy that when they came up with the particles in particle physics, that we needed a particle that caused a sound wave. This shining example of real men of genius is called the phonon. "We understand that light is a particle and a wave, oh and sound is a wave, and is exactly the same as light, hmmmm... welp can't see any difference, ssssound, llllight, they even sound the same!" brilliant job guys.
density in a medium causes a wave, it pushes outward, if the medium is made of matter, sound or water etc., then it is weight that is dense, no need for the majestic romantic phonon making a stink.
So that's transparency? tough butts for you. do you think that glass is as dense as the center of the earth? There is space in the chains formed by the atoms in the picture. Heat of the aether retracts less magnetic fieldd back into the core for a smaller atom which causes specific heat, the bigger the atom and its magnetic field the less heat it takes in the aether to raise the temperature.

If this is what you believe ... then I can understand your confusion ... that's not what I understand, hate to go gender specific on you but maybe use the word "we" correctly ... maybe that'll help you understand ...

I did get a tickle out of your notion that the center of the Earth is dense, it's not ... neither the Sun ... not really massive enough to really crunch matter down ...

White Dwarfs are dense ... electrons packed down onto the nuclei ... this vibrates like crazy but the particle positions are held in place ... maybe this is closer to what you describe as "solid" ...

Neutron Stars are even denser ... electrons and proton are fused into neutrons ... matter that's nothing but neutrons packed regular like ... total lack of free space there ...

And lastly ... the LIGO Experiment has been detecting neuron stars colliding about every fortnight ... that's the limit to my understanding of what dense material is ...
