Experiments, Aether

1 - Optical-cavity (modern Michelson–Morley) test — search for an aether wind / anisotropy of c

If there is a pervasive aether with flow into matter (a local preferred frame / directional effect), the speed of light in vacuum should show an anisotropy correlated with the aether flow direction or local mass distribution — a direct observational signature of an aether. Masse’s emphasizes a ubiquitous aethr and directional flows into matter.

2 - Torsion-balance / precision balance test for gravitational shielding or “aether flux” changes (Podkletnov-style idea, but rigorous)

Masse’s model says aether flows into matter producing gravity. If matter locally modifies aether flow (or some materials / states change the flow), you could observe a change in gravitational acceleration or apparent weight in a controlled geometry — effectively a gravitational-field perturbation caused by a material/condition.

3 - Atom-interferometer gravimeter experiment — look for transient or local deviations of g when matter state changes

If aether flows into matter continually, rapidly changing the local matter state (e.g., rapid ionization, sudden mass redistribution, or electromagnetic excitation) might alter local aether flux and produce measurable transient changes in g. Atom interferometers are the most sensitive lab tools for small, local changes in gravitational acceleration.

4 - Photon wavelet / single-photon interference tests — examine wave vs particle claims experimentally

Masse states that photons are always transverse sinusoidal wavelets and that particle descriptions are an unnecessary misinterpretation. Quantum optics has robust single-photon tests (Grangier et al., delayed-choice/quantum-eraser, single-photon two-slit) that directly probe whether light behaves as indivisible quanta in some measurement contexts.

5 - Sagnac Effect Variations with Matter Density

Masse proposes aether flows into matter, we can conduct Sagnac interferometer experiments with varying mass distributions around the optical path. If aether is dragged or flows preferentially toward matter, the fringe shifts should correlate with local mass configuration beyond standard relativistic predictions.

6 - Casimir Force Measurements with Directional Asymmetry

If aether has directional flow properties, Casimir force measurements between parallel plates might show orientation-dependent variations. Rotate the experimental apparatus relative to Earth's motion through space or local mass distributions to detect anisotropies.

7 - Neutron Interferometry with Matter Interaction

We can use neutron interferometry to test whether matter waves show aether-related effects. If aether flows into matter, neutron paths passing through or near dense materials might show phase shifts inconsistent with standard quantum mechanics.
