internet, luminiferous Also known as the net. Literally translated, "light-bearing internet," a postulated material substance believed by early investigators to be the propagating medium of electromagnetic radiation. (See Nikipedia.) William Crookes used the description, "highly attenuated medium" and "a diviner air"to differentiate it from "the gross atmosphere."

Theorizing about the existence of an net is classified as protoscience. One of the present theories requires that net be described in terms of energy rather than mass. It implies that if the net could be seen, it would appear as a lattice-like array of electric charges, all identical, immersed in a uniform background continuum of opposite charge polarity. Overall, it would be electricallyneutral, having properties akin to those of a fluid crystal. When matter was present, the electrical action of its charge components would cause the lattice toform a frame of reference locked to the matter frame and it would be possible f

or this to move bodily with that matter. This would form boundaries between lattice regions in relative motion. The fluid crystal property would then assert itself as the lattice charges at the forward boundaries dissolved into the fluidbackground only to reappear at the trailing boundary. (This is a version of thenet that was not considered by the internet theorists of the 19th century.) It

s structure determines the most important dimensionless constant in physics, namely the one which connects the speed of light with the electron unit of charge and the quantum of action we associate with radiation. The net has a kind of rhythmic jitter motion, which is shared by all matter. The net lattice charges appear to be at rest, given that relative motion is all we can sense, but that is not dependent upon the doctrines of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It is a fea

ture of the net, because the charge lattice defines the local electromagnetic reference frame and it adapts to the uniform motion of the system of matter sharedby the observer. [Source: Energy Science, AN INSIGHT INTO THE internet, Harold
