Descartes discovered aether (Aiqhr or Aither from Greek mythology) as a medium for light waves. However, aether proves to be much more important because all forces are transmitted by aether waves, and because matter itself is made of spherical standing waves.

Aether should be homogeneous and elastic in order to transmit lossless waves. Fresnel was wrong. The light waves do not oscillate transversally, so there is no need for a very special rigid medium capable of transmitting such waves.

Because there is no infinite, aether should exist inside a huge but still finite space. Because of its elasticity, it could also expand gradually. This could explain the expansion of the Universe. 

The whole Universe is made purely out of aether. Nothing else. So the Wave Theory's first postulate should be:

Electrons are spherical standing wave systems which can move using the Doppler effect. Each unit is identical. It should be pointed out that it does not contain ingoing and outgoing waves. It is rather an oscillator. Some of its energy is still present inside a one meter radius sphere, but most of it certainly is effective inside an atom's area. Because nodes and antinodes appear two times per period, there are two possible spins for electrons. Positrons are identical and also permit two spins while vibrating in-between.

 Electrons could have been created during a very long period. One can presume that many aether waves could rarely add themselves exactly at the same point, using Huygen's principle.

Any standing wave system usually very quickly radiates all of its energy. In order to be stable it must be fed with energy. The page on wave mechanics explains the amplification process by means of the lens effect.

This energy first came from waves which were already present inside aether. But now it comes from all the electrons of the whole Universe. Those waves contain huge quantities of energy, which is constantly recycled and returned to aether in all directions.

It is a well-known fact that the speed of  a wave propagating through any homogeneous medium is constant. Its frequency and its amplitude have no effect. There is no difference while they are crossing other waves either. Any moving observer certainly cannot measure this speed correctly because he encounters the Lorentz transformations. This explains why Relativity appears (but only appears) to be true.

The electron spin can be explained because standing waves present nodes and antinodes two times per period. If so, the frequency for both spins must be the same, but it should slow down at high speed according to the Lorentz transformations. It should also be the same for positrons. Mechanically, any amplification process generates a trend towards higher frequencies, but because aether cannot be perfect it should have a limit. Moreover, all electrons should adjust their frequency in the same neighborhood, explaining why there are no free positrons.

The resulting wavelength is incredibly small, certainly less then 10 ^ –18 meter. However, the electron's frequency must decrease while accelerating, in accordance with the Lorenz transformations.

Any particle which is not an electron or a positron is made of several electrons or positrons. For example, a quark contains two electrons and a secondary standing wave system always exists between them as a result of their waves' addition and amplification. This appears to be an electrostatic field, a magnetic field, or a much more intense gluonic field while they are very close to each other. Such gluonic fields are also matter, they may contain a lot of energy as a mass increase but they still are electrons.

The wave mechanics page explains the electron's amplification process as a lens effect. Electrons borrow energy from aether waves and constantly radiate it. This produces spherical wavelets, which are compressed or expanded according to the Doppler effect. Hence, the Huygens' Principle appears to be true, but there is an important difference. The number of those wavelets is not infinite. The very small difference between an infinite and a finite number of wavelets can explain gravity. Those wavelets can explain light and its polarization, and they can also explain all forces.

Neutrinos do not exist. Photons do not exist. Maxwell's electromagnetic waves do not exist. The electrons' Quantum properties have been incorrectly transferred to light.

Aether waves can exert a pressure on electrons. They can accelerate matter, decelerate it or change its direction. This phenomenon is explained on the page concerning wave mechanics.  

The electrons absorb energy from the aether waves, and so waves coming from any opposite direction are stronger in comparison. This is the shade effect, an attractive force.

Usually electrons also radiate the same quantity of energy in all directions and the final result is null. However, this is not the case any more while two of them are close together. Then the on-axis radiation causes a stronger effect. This means that the shade effect is then stronger for transverse directions, and the result is a transverse attractive force.

The second main postulate from Einstein's theory of Relativity says that "all the laws of physics are the same in every inertial reference frame". This is fully true.

However, this "law of all laws" was Henri Poincaré's discovery, and he also discovered Relativity. What should be called "the Law of Constancy of physical phenomena" was worded by Poincaré himself in 1904, hence before Einstein's 1905 Special Relativity:

According to Newton's third law, any action should be followed by an opposite reaction of equal force. This law appears to be false since the discovery of Relativity. Because waves are involved, the Doppler effect should be involved too. The reactive force is not always opposite either, but from any observer's point of view, it seems to be so.

Although forces such as gravity cannot act faster then the speed of light, they can still act in a simultaneous way. This is no longer true while a system is moving through aether, but is still works as if it was simultaneous because of the Lorentz transformations and because of Poincaré's "law of all laws" as worded above.

The radiation pressure can accelerate or decelerate matter. Then the Doppler effect is increased or decreased, and matter wave energy also changes. 

A very special case of energy is the gluonic field mass, which might be seen as "canned kinetic energy" because only very fast electrons and positrons can produce it and maintain it while they are "glued" together. A gluonic field is a sort of "wave spring" capable of accelerating particles. This phenomenon explains why energy can be extracted from the fission of radioactive elements or from hydrogen to helium fusion.

Any motion must be seen as a series of zigzag or round trip displacements, whose speed is that of light and is always the same. Any other speed is composite in nature. So any speed faster than the speed of light is impossible.

Because aether exists, matter as standing waves really works according to the Lorentz transformations. This postulate explains why the electron frequency decreases at high speed, and why  distances on the displacement axis contracts.

Descartes discovered both aether and the frame of reference system known as the Cartesian frame. From that very instant Galileo's Relativity principle should have been declared invalid. Such a "Galilean inertial frame of reference" is incompatible with any motion using absolute values.

From a mechanical point of view, the Lorentz transformations were already foreseeable. It should be pointed out that Woldemar Voigt and Albert Michelson both found this incompatibility before Lorentz between 1885 and 1887.

Space and time do not transform because they do not really exist. As soon as possible, they should be referenced to electrons at rest as a convention. For now, and maybe forever, "at rest" means "in our galaxy" because of the law of Relativity, which is worded in Postulate No. 21.

 Speaking about space contraction and time dilation is absurd. Speaking of gravity as a space curvature is delirious, especially while one does not explain how and why gravity can do that. In the future, this will certainly make scientists laugh a lot.

Wave mechanics indicates that any event causes new events.

A Cause may be seen as a motion, electronic waves being more or less compressed because of the Doppler effect. Then they radiate compressed wavelets adding or destroying themselves, and the result is a stronger positive or negative force, which produces many Effects as a motion change all around. And so on. This means that any Effect becomes a Cause.

This strongly indicates that the future is already fixed; this is determinism. One can nevertheless admit that inside aether, the waves' energy could be randomly distributed among aether granules. Then the result could also be randomly distributed, and this is a significant step towards our Liberty...

So the previous Causality principle "The same causes produce the same effects" may be wrong. Personally, I wouldn't agree with that, but this is very subjective, indeed irrelevant here.

Lorentz was right. Matter really transforms at high speed. This is one of the most fundamental laws in nature, and it should be called "Lorentz's first law" :

Albert Einstein was wrong. The Lorentz transformations indicated a Reciprocity, which leads to Relativity. However, one should beware of mathematics. All politicians can transform statistics, but scientists simply cannot transform time and space.

Aether cannot be verified, but it still exists. Any phenomenon should be evaluated as if it was at rest. Otherwise it will seem distorted. There is no true Reciprocity. There is no true Relativity.

However, Relativity proves to be a very useful, indeed essential, in order to predict what will seem to happen. One should be aware that it is an illusion, but it still is what happens according to our senses. 

Our world is highly Relative. Because it was Lorentz's idea first, it should be called Lorentzian Relativity. It usually appears to be the same as Einstein's, but it uses a different way to evaluate moving objects. So it sometimes better predicts different effects and explains fairly well many phenomena such as the twin paradox and the Sagnac effect, for example.

Very few people could understand Einstein's Relativity. Lorentz's Relativity appears to be much simpler:

Gravity is only a very weak residual force compared to the huge quantities of energy involved inside matter. One should first consider that waves traveling through aether are mainly flat waves, for which radiation pressure is exerted in an optimal way. However, this is no longer the case for wavelets emitted by electrons. Those waves are spherical and cannot exert a maximum radiation pressure on the whole area containing an electron. A significant part of them is oriented under a certain angle. This can be evaluated using mathematics by means of Huygens' Principle. The differential calculus invented by Newton and Leibniz solved this problem by the infinitely small, however, a very simple computer program can evaluate a finite number of wavelets, and one can easily show that the result is not exactly the same. 

Newton's formula works correctly but from this new point of view one can find a lot of anomalies. The G constant cannot be perfectly constant. Gravity does not use specific particles or waves. It is definitely important for celestial mechanics but it certainly is not the "fundamental phenomenon" of the Universe. 

The Sun's Gravity cannot bend light waves, but there are plenty of particles around the Sun which can. A "General Relativity theory" for such a non-significant force is useless and obsolete.
