If a hypothetical aether contained positive and negative electric
charges,
then a "local" electric field could exist between a proton and one of
the charges.If the aether also contained magnetic charges and the
proton had a small magnetic charge of its own, then the proton, like a
photon, might move
at a speed given by electric field / magnetic field.As a proton is
accelerated,
the magnetic field would decrease to enable the speed and therefore
the ratio of E/ B to increase.The magnetic field could decrease by the
aether emitting some magnetic charge: this magnetic charge would
account for the creation of a magnetic field when a proton is
accelerated.Similarly when a proton is deccelerated, the aether could
absorb some "free" magnetic charge so the ratio of E/ B decreases as
the speed of the proton decreases.
If I had a spaceship made of positive and negative charges,I could
thus increase the speed of my spaceship by manipulating the magnetic
charge in the aether ( and perhaps the electric charge of the
aether)and changing the magnetic field.How could I manipulate the
magnetic charge of the aether? Presumably by using a very strong
magnetic field to move positive and negative magnetic charges of the
aether very close together, so that the net magnetic field created by
them and the magnetic charges of the protons and electrons of my
spaceship is very small compared to the electric field.The magnetic
field could be made so small the spaceship would travel faster than
light.
