The above model of inertia can be used to explain the radial forces generated by the rotation of an object. If we consider an atom at the edge of a spinning disk, Fig 6.1(a), we can see that it starts to move in a line tangential to the edge of the disk. That line of motion will not encounter any resistance as it is moving with a node which we are assuming normally travels in a straight line. However, this can only last for a very short period before the forces that keep the wheel together pull the atom towards the centre of the disk to keep it on a circular path. This means that the atom has to jump the node that it was moving with and temporarily follow another node that is moving tangentially to the edge of the the disk at the new atom position, Fig 6.1(b). Because of the rapid node jumping along a line towards the centre of the disk the atom will feel a force in the opposite direction. Fig 6.1 The radial node jumping for a rotating object. We can therefore understand why a spinning object will experience a force radially outwards but no resistance to the actual rotation (ignoring friction for the moment), in accord with experience. And because the rate of node jumping will increase with the rate of spin, the outward force will also increase with the spin. The conservation of angular momentum and the precessional forces on a gyroscope can be explained by a similar analysis. One of the other consequences of the above rotation model will be a force on the aether radially towards the centre of the disk, following the action and reaction argument of the previous section. Therefore, one would expect an increase in the aether pressure towards the axis of rotation. However, during the initial spinning up of the disk, or while the rate of spin is increasing, there will also be some node jumping along the line tangential to the edge of the disk. This is because the rate of spin is increasing therefore the tangential velocity v of fig 6.1(a) is also increasing. Thus there will be a resistance to the increasing of the spin rate, consistent with observation. It also follows from this that during the spinning up there will be a force on the aether along a line tangential to the edge of the disk in the direction in which the object is spinning. This would seem to be a reasonable mechanism by which we could explain entrainment of the aether around planetary bodies. Indeed any spinning body would be expected to produce a spinning aether and it should be possible to detect such in the laboratory with a suitable detection mechanism such as that used by Dr. Kozyrev [4]. When we combine this rotation of the aether with the pressure towards the axis of rotation as described above we have all the elements of a spiral motion. If we were only dealing with 3D space the inward flowing aether would have nowhere to go (except perhaps out of the north and south axis of rotation), however in 4D space the aether pressure towards the axis of rotation can push the aether into the 4th dimension. Therefore, one would expect that the aether particles would move a short distance in 3D space before they 'disappear' into the 4th dimension, mapping out a spiral as seen from 4D space. We have here all the elements of a vortex flow into the 4th dimension. Similar in fact to the electron vortex described in the Matter section, but with an aether circulation that is centered on an axis in 3D space. We would therefore expect that any rotating object would create a transfer of energy from 3D space into the 4th dimension (or even higher dimensions). This seems to be supported by unusual patterns observed at the polar regions of various planets in our solar system. Richard Hoagland and David Wilcock have pointed out the unusual formations observed on the outer planets of our solar system [5] which are difficult to explain by standard theory. They also point out the many instances of unusual phenomena occurring at around 19.5o latitude on many planetary bodies in our solar system. Hoagland & Wilcock attribute these to a geometrical relationship to higher dimensions. While our approach is different to theirs it does strengthen the proposition that rotating objects create large scale energetic flows to and from higher dimensions. Also, as discussed on our Relativity page, we expect that when aether flows relative to matter it slows down atomic processes and therefore produces time dilation. In the case of rotation, aether flows are more pronounced because of the strong 4D component as discussed above. Therefore, one might expect that rapid rotation would lead to a more pronounced time dilation effect. There is in fact experimental evidence for this. It has been reported that Bruce DePalma carried out experiments where he spun a 30 pound concrete disk at some 8000 rpm. Above the disk he suspended a Bulova Accutron watch that according to the specifications was accurate to within 1 second per year. However, the watch above the spinning disk reportedly lost 1 second in 20 minutes!
