When does an electron behave like a particle?

[The Sage of Main Street]

Particles are only ever detected by smashing into some sort of device even if it is only your retina.

Nerdy Postclacks Had No Mature Reason to Reject 4D

And the fourth dimension of space is detected by the Quantum Leap. Displacement without motion is impossible, so there must be that detected space for it to move in. It also explains Entanglement.

But I have not found evidence that the electron behaves like a particle. Where is such an experiment described?

Ummmm.... chemical bonds, SEM images, paired particle reactions, e=mc^2, etc.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Particles are atomistic abstractions. Electrons as well.

Unfortunately, to large extent in dealing with dielectric fields the prehistoric conception of the electrostatic charge (electron) on the conductor still exists, and by its use destroys the analogy between the two components of the electric field, the magnetic and the dielectric, and makes the consideration of dielectric fields unnecessarily complicated.

Ken Wheeler Doesn’t Believe Electrons Exist​

Ken Wheeler doesn’t like any of these ideas one bit. The reason he gives is that they involve belief in electrons, which he claims don’t exist.

The Angry Photographer insists that electricity is “the ether in a state of dynamic polarization.” According to him, “the motions and strains of the ether give rise to electrification.”

As explained under Field Theory – Why Ken’s Wrong, Michelson and Morley found that the ether doesn’t exist back in 1887. Something that doesn’t exist can’t become polarized.

True.

False. They simply failed to detect the Aether because their assumptions were wrong. Others have and had, but that news proved too inconvenient for Einstein and his worshipers to ever publicly acknowledge.

Ken Wheeler is a fruitcake. He should stick to taking pictures.

Michelson and Morley – There Should Be an Ether Wind​

At the time, scientists believed that the Earth moved relative to, or through, the ether. This meant that there should be some sort of ether wind, similar to air resistance as the Earth passed through the ether.

To try to detect the ether wind, Michelson and Morley built a device called an interferometer. It had a set of mirrors and two perpendicular arms with overall lengths 11 metres long.

The device directed light down each arm. They hoped to show that the light travelling in the same direction as the Earth through the ether went faster than light going perpendicular to that motion.

“The Most Famous Failed Experiment in History”​

Their experiment has been called “the most famous failed experiment in history.” Michelson and Morley found that light travelled at a the same speed no matter what direction the interferometer went.

Despite attempts to salvage the notion of the ether, such as so-called “ether dragging” by the Earth as it revolved around the Sun, the Michelson-Morley experiment unintentionally proved the ether doesn’t exist. This has now been formally confirmed 33 times by experiments using increasingly sophisticated tools and techniques.

Ken Wheeler doesn’t seem to grasp, or refuses to accept that, unlike surf or sound, forces like electromagnetism and gravity don’t need a medium through which to travel. Since we know the ether doesn’t exist, we also know that there can’t be any disturbances or perturbations in it.

Hey, way to copy & paste without quoting or crediting the author of that "Ken Wheeler is Wrong" blog hate fest. Idiot.

Do you really believe light travels in a wave without a medium? That experiment has so many flaws in it I don't know where to begin! It's very outdated as well. Do you think a new experiment will ever come along to replace it?

There's no ether.

 

[trevorjohnson83]

There's no ether.

So waves of nothing? A wave is by definition is made of its medium, so if light is wave what is its medium?

 

[ding]

Which is why you don't see any ether waves.

 

[Grumblenuts]

A wave is by definition is made of its medium,

Nope.

What is a Medium?

But what is meant by the word medium? A medium is a substance or material that carries the wave. You have perhaps heard of the phrase news media. The news media refers to the various institutions (newspaper offices, television stations, radio stations, etc.) within our society that carry the news from one location to another. The news moves through the media. The media doesn't make the news and the media isn't the same as the news. The news media is merely the thing that carries the news from its source to various locations. In a similar manner, a wave medium is the substance that carries a wave (or disturbance) from one location to another. The wave medium is not the wave and it doesn't make the wave; it merely carries or transports the wave from its source to other locations.

However, unlike the air or water carrying sound waves, the Aether medium is not any "substance or material" which necessitates possessing mass. It's a field.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

The electron is said to have the properties of a particle and a wave. The experiment with the transmission through the grid shows the properties of the wave well. But I have not found evidence that the electron behaves like a particle. Where is such an experiment described?

When can mass be energy? Electrons have mass

 

[ding]

Nope.

However, unlike the air or water carrying sound waves, the Aether medium is not any "substance or material" which necessitates possessing mass. It's a field.

Is a field an “ether perturbation modality?”

Because Field theory addresses four main types of field: magnetic, electric, gravitational and radiation. These correspond to the forces of nature: electromagnetism, gravity, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

So, a field is a defined space influenced by a force of nature.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Nope.

 

[ding]

Nope.

Nope a field is an ether perturbation modality?

or

Nope a field isn't an ether perturbation modality?

 

[Grumblenuts]

Nope, as in "I don't agree with any of that completely" and "You don't need me to hold your hand in order to just say what you've clearly planned to regardless."

Hypostasis

Space is a material split off from the same incoming exospace material that also created light, energy, and mass. What it transformed might have been a non-material field.
