Mesostratum, Twistor Space & Aether
Abstract
We present a critique of mathematics as the sole means for discovery and validation of physical truths and offer a conceptual alternative to the now virtually abandoned notion of a luminiferous aether. We propose a ‘new physics’ embracing the central idea that spacetime itself is to regarded as a secondary reality, constructed from something more primitive: twistor space, a transcendent substratum or mesostratum.
