Abstract

The substratum of the vacuum is the carrier of the elementary force interactions, such as electromagnetic (EM), gravitational, or nuclear.1 These basic fields occur as excitations whereas elementary particles are probably defects in the substratum. Experiments show that the substratum has physical properties, e. g. a magnetic permeability μo ≃ 4π × 10−7 Vs/Am, dielectric permittivity ε0≃ 10−9/36π As/Vm, EM wave speed c = 1/ √ (μoɛo), ≃ 3×108 m/s, and EM wave resistance zo = √ (μo/ɛo) ≃ 120π V/A.
