To quote Tony Smith:
"Since Maxwell then had both
the concept of waves in an
elastic medium and
the concepts of Grad, Div, Curl, and
Laplacian, he had everything you need to write
the
equations for Longitudinal
Waves in an elastic medium as described, for
example (as Jack Sarfatti pointed out) on pages 142-144 of Methods
of Theoretical Physics by Morse and Feshbach (McGraw-Hill 1953).
Since (as shown in Morse and Feshbach) the Longitudinal Waves
are faster than the Transverse Waves, and the Transverse Waves
travel at the Speed of Light, the Longitudinal
Waves are Superluminal if the
Aether is a general elastic medium (Tohu
VaVohu).
The question of the existence or non-existence of
Longitudinal/Scalar Waves is then the question of whether or not
the Aether, regarded as an elastic medium, is compressible:
- If not, there are no Longitudinal/Scalar Waves.
- If so, then there are Superluminal Longitudinal/Scalar
Waves."
