Summary
A lattice model for the aether is shown to give indications of a fundamental charged particle of massM such thatM/m e =3/4(108)3π2(1843)−4/3[(3/2)1/2 − 1]−1 =1836.15232, a value very close to the observed proton-electron mass ratio of 1836.15152(70).
Riassunto
Si mostra che un modello reticolare dell’etere dà indicazioni di una particella fondamentale carica di massaM tale cheM/m e = 3/4(108)2π2(1843)−3/4[(3/2)1/2 − 1]−1 =1836.15232, un valore molto prossimo al rapporto osservato fra la massa del protone e quella dell’elettrone che è 1836.15152(70).

An alternative way of viewing the quantumQ 0 is to regard it as equal to the energy contained within two lattice cells (one of each polarity) associated with the pressure of magnitudeP =e 2/4πb 4 required to keep lattice particles from disintegrating. Reasons are given in ref. (1) for thinking that such a pressure pervades all space.
