Abstract

The present note is basically an announcement of a theoretical and experimental resolution of one of the most basic fundamental problems of physics, namely the very existence and reality of the Aether [1-11]. This is not only basic philosophy of science or insightful results in theoretical physics and cosmology [1-24] but more than that because it may lead to actually realizing the futuristic dream of free energy [25-28].

Our mathematical and indirect experimental verdict is that the Aether exists and it can be equated to the empty set of pure mathematics [3, 12-16]. More precisely the Aether may be understood for all mathematical and physical purposes as being identical to the empty set [8-14] underlying the Penrose fractal tessellation universe [17] which obeys the A. Connes’ corresponding dimensional function of his noncommutative geometry [18-21].
