## Resource

Part 5 of the ether series is the one where the roof comes off. Jonathan Drake and Polymath finally answer the question modern physics openly admits it cannot: what is light? The answer involves a longitudinally propagating pulse perturbation in a coaxial circuit, which Polymath's wife confirmed makes zero sense until you break it down piece by piece. And then it makes total sense. Light is a string of toroidal ether perturbations. It is not traveling anywhere. It is creating space as it goes. And if you crank up the capacitance far enough, light stops propagating, becomes a standing wave, and turns into matter. Yes, that means matter is frozen light. Plato's Divided Line then shows up to confirm that the golden ratio is encoded in the electromagnetic spectrum itself, visible light sits exactly where the divided line predicts, and the water molecule is shaped like the Pythagorean sacred triangle. If your science class had covered any of this, you would not have fallen asleep.
