Not being the brightest Christmas lightbulb on the tree as a kid, I was startled to learn in science class that the floor pushed back at my feet with an equal but opposite force. Of course! If the floor didn’t resist, I’d fall through, right? But how did the wooden beams and plywood sheets “push” me? They were just sitting there motionless minding their own business. Years later, in my engineering courses on materials, statics and strengths, the practical concepts became rote knowledge. But not the physics. The classical Newtonian math describing a

the forces between a structure and its occupants is an invaluable engineering tool. But at the atomic level, I learned the equal-opposite forces preventing a body from becoming one with the floor, then possibly with the ground beneath, are indeed *electric*, not gravitational. At this point, my pondering might seem childlike, maybe even dumb to you math and physics weenies, but I’m just an engineer. My vocation is in applying the “how,” not the “why” of science. I got chills reading of those electrical pioneers whose names graced my textbooks from high school physics through two EE degrees. But I believe modern science froze Hertz, Faraday, Henry, Maxwell, et al in amber after the Industrial Revolution. Then they defamed and impoverished Nikola Tesla, who extended electrical science to a level beyond which the energy Robber Barons of the day could not abide. It defies human understanding to believe that those infamous legends of greed and avarice, and their government accomplices didn’t sneak off and continue some of the work they stole from Tesla. Are the “physics-defying” craft reported crossing our seas and skies at impossible speeds, with negative heat signatures, possibly a product of such clandestine engineering? The thought sure rings truer than “Ancient Aliens.” The rare credible scientist who dares to acknowledge the UAP phenomena say it would take “a whole other type of physics” to produce. So, to sum up this raggedy rant, there’s only one physics. But an entire dimension of it - an electric dimension? - is walled off by Big Science. Why? Perhaps to protect a “How” that they stole from the world to keep themselves in power. But that’s gets into a whole other rant. Cheers.

Fascinating history! "The meaning of PLENUM is "filled space, the fullness of matter in space" (opposite of vacuum), from Latin plenum (spatium) "full (space)," neuter of adjective plenus "full, filled, greatly crowded; stout, pregnant; abundant, abounding; complete,

Has anyone said the 'Plenum' was God? Or is that what Bernoulli said more or less?

Does it matter?🤣

Matter was a big word with Bacon, occurring 30 times in Hamlet! https://www.etymonline.com/word/matter

The ether shows up again.

Hmmm.
