SOME CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE PRINCIPLE OF PHASE INVARIANCE
Keyword(s):
Taking the view that "particles" are in fact excitations of the motion of an all-pervading medium (or "ether"), it is shown that the conservation laws characterizing the ether, which are different from the well-known laws of conservation of energy and momentum, flow from a single principle, the principle of phase invariance, provided a complex field is used to describe the ether. There are at least two different self-consistent types of Lorentz-invariant ether theories which satisfy the principle of phase invariance.
