In the 19th century, science had concluded that reality was based upon
the Aether, a rigid medium that pervaded all of space. The Aether was
required to account for the ability of forces (electric, magnetic,
gravitational, etc.) to "act at distance" and through which the vibrational
disturbance known as light could propagate. Late in the century, the next
obvious step was taken. Attempts were made to measure our velocity through
the Aether. The most notable of those attempts was the Michaelson-Morley
experiment that, to everyone's chagrin, produced a null result.
The difficulty was first resolved in 1903 with conclusions by
Fitzgerald and Larmor. Fitzgerald concluded that what was happening was that
lengths became shorter in the direction of the velocity vector and Larmor
concluded that, if this were true, clocks must slow by a reciprocal amount.
The result was the Lorentz Transformation Aether Theory, which, in
conjunction with the fact that the velocity of light represented the most
rapid means of transferring information, insured that our absolute velocity
through space could not be measured. In 1905, Dr. Einstein showed that the
theory could be derived from fundamental principles and Special Relativity
was off and running. When examined objectively, both theories are found to
be identical (cross-derivable), and differ only in philosophical viewpoint.
Transformations and the limit on the transfer of information imposed by
the velocity of light, we could not, in principle, measure our velocity with
respect to it. The other viewpoint asserted that, because our velocity with
respect to the Aether could not be measured, it was not valid to include the
Aether in physical theory. This interpretation required that all velocity
reference frames were equally valid and reality did not consist of space and
time as separate entities but was a single entity that was named space-time.
The mathematics of space-time work as long as one does not make the
common abuse of arbitrarily jumping from one velocity reference to another
in the same problem without compensation for the effects, but science was
still left with the problem of explaining "action at a distance". This
difficulty was overcome by the addition of the concept of "virtual exchange
particles" (photons, gluons, gravitons, etc.) whose existence was of such
short duration that the laws of quantum mechanics allowed them to "pop into
and out of existence" without violating the Law of Conservation of Energy
and which acted to exchange momentum (force) between physically separated
entities.
The elimination of the Aether from realm of acceptable physical theory
did not result from observations or the application of rigorous logic. It
was eliminated instead by a consensus opinion upon the part of the
scientific community. Since the Lorentz Contraction-Aether Theory is a
special case solution of the Special Theory of Relativity, the existence of
the classical Aether cannot be disproved without also disproving Special
Relativity. The existence of the Aether can be verified, however, if
information can be transferred between physically separated locations at a
velocity that exceeds the velocity of light! If that can be accomplished,
all that is necessary to determine our "absolute velocity" through space is
to compare the synchronization of clocks set by the hyperluminal information
transfer method with the synchronization of clocks set by electromagnetic
means. The difference in their "now" readings would allow their "absolute
velocity" to be measured and the establishment of our absolute velocity
through space (i.e.- the Aether) by direct observation, exactly as
Michaelson and Morley wished to do.
In the 1980's experiments were performed which showed that the quantum
coupling of the polarization of "paired photons" could be observed as
propagating at a velocity at least 4 times the velocity of light (and
probably at an infinite velocity of one is to accept a current
interpretation of quantum theory). It must be recognized that, since
changing the polarization of a photon does not change its energy,
transferring information through the polarization coupling of photons
represents a transfer of information without the transfer of energy. Since
the transfer of energy is not involved, there is no theoretical restriction
currently known on the velocity of that transfer. The paired photons travel
at the velocity of light, but their polarization can travel at any velocity
(including infinite). The limitation on the velocity of energy encoded
information transfer results from the fact that the Lorentz Transformation
for Energy is 1/(1-V^2/C^2)^0.5 becomes infinite at the velocity of light.
This limitation clearly does not apply to quantum numbers such as the
polarization direction of photons.
The diagram of the experimental setup is shown in the first figure
below. This experiment can readily modified by changing its instrumentation
so as to allow the absolute velocity of the setup to be measured directly
without affecting the validity of its operation. See the second figure
below. It does not seem unreasonable, if a sufficient number of paired
photons are observed, for the errors in observation to be reduced to the
point where our absolute velocity through spaced could be measured to an
accuracy of better than +/-400 miles per second. (A recent report described
a similar effect observed over a distance of over 70 miles and should allow
a much more accurate determination.) THE SUCCESS OF SUCH A MEASUREMENT OF
"ABSOLUTE VELOCITY" DOES NOT DEPEND UPON PHYSICS SINCE THE NECESSARY RESULTS
OF PHYSICAL EXPERIMENTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DEMONSTRATED, IT ACCOMPLISHMENT IS
NOW A ROUTINE ENGINEEERING PROBLEM WHICH IS EASILY SOLUABLE. The
demonstration of an "absolute velocity" would, however, throw the currently
accepted idea of space-time into a cocked hat (where it undoubtedly belongs
since it is based upon a consensus opinion and not provable fact) and return
science to the idea of the classical Aether. (The text associated with these

Remember that Dr. Einstein warned, "We have not proven that the Aether
doesn't exist, we have merely proven we do not need it (for calculations).
Also remember that it took 25 years of peer pressure to cause Dr. Einstein
to relinquish the idea of "absolute time" (equivalent to believing the
Aether) and accepting the unproven consensus viewpoint of space-time as a
single entity.

The position of woman in islam
In Islaam, the woman is accorded a high position which she was not
accorded in any of the previous religions and which no nation will
accord her but Islaam. This is because, the honour that Islaam
conferred on mankind is shared by both man and woman on equal basis.
Mankind are equal before rules of Allaah in this world as they will be
equal as regards His reward and recompense on the Last Day. Allaah
says, “And indeed, We have honoured the children of Adam.”[1] He also
says, “There is a share for men and a share for women from what is
left by parents and those nearest related.”[2] “And they (women) have
rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses) similar (to
those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect)
to what is reasonable.”[3] “The believers, men and women are auliya
(helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another.”[4] “And
your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents.
If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to
them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms
of honour. And lower unto them a wing of submission and humility
through mercy, and say; ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they
did bring me up when I was young.’[5] “So their Lord accepted their
supplication (saying); ‘Never will I allow to be lost the work of any
of you, be he male or female.’[6] “Whoever works righteousness –
whether male or female – while he or she is a true believer (of
Islaamic monotheism) verily, to him we will give a good life (in this
world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and we shall
pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they
used to do.’[7] ‘And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or
female, and is a true believer (in the Oneness of Allaah), such will
enter paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a
speck on the back of a date-stone, will be done to them.’[8]This
honour that the woman enjoys in Islaam has no equal in any other
religion, creed or law. Roman civilization had had it established that
woman should be a slave and a subordinate of man and that she should
absolutely has no rights at all. There was even a great conference in
Rome where affairs of the woman were discussed.
The conclusion reached at the conference was that, the woman was a
lifeless being and as such could not have share in the life of the
hereafter and that she was impure.In Athens, woman used to be regarded
as a scraps. She would be sold and bought like any other commodity and
she was being regarded an abomination of Satan’s handiwork. According
to the ancient Indian statutes, the plague, death, hell, poison of
serpents and fire are all better than woman. Her right to live used to
end with the death of her husband – who was regarded as her master.
When she saw the corpse of her husband being burnt, she must throw
herself into it and if she did not, she would be accursed. As for
Judaism, the following judgement was passed on her in the Old
Testament. “I moved around with my heart in order to know, search and
look for wisdom and intelligence, and in other to know that evil is
ignorance and that stupidity is madness. And I found that worse than
death is woman who is a snare and her heart is like a shoelace and her
hands are shackles."[9] Such was the condition of woman in the ancient
times. As for medieval and contemporary times, the following events
explain that.The Danish writer, Wieth Kordsten explained the position
of the Catholic Church as regards woman when he said, “During the
medieval times, the concern that was had for European woman was very
limited and this is in conformity with the view of the Catholic creed
that used to regard woman as a second-class human being.”
In France, a conference was held in the year 586 A.D. where the issue
of woman was discussed as to whether she should be regarded as a human
being or not. At the end of the discussion, the discussants concluded
that she was a human being but that she was created for the service of
man.In French law, article 217 says; “The married woman- even if her
marriage is based on separation between her right of ownership and
that of her husband- should not give anyone ownership of anything of
her property with or without compensation except with the
participation of her husband in the transaction or his written consent
to that.”In England, Henry the VIII prohibited the English woman from
reading the Holy Book, until 1850, women were not considered citizens
of England and up till 1882, they had no personal rights.[10]As for
the condition of woman in contemporary Europe, America and other
industrial nations, she is regarded as a common creature that should
be utilized for commercial purposes, for she is a part of commercial
advertisement. This has even reached a situation where she is stripped
naked in order to advertise commodities on her body. Her body and
honour have become desecrated based on regulations laid down by men in
order to make her an object of enjoyment everywhere.
The contemporary woman is an abject of care and attention as long as
she is able to give out her wealth, intelligence and body. But when
she becomes old and loses her means of giving, the society
individually and collectively abandons her and she lives lonely in her
house or in the sanatorium.Compare the above – although they cannot be
equal – with what the Noble Qur’aan says, “The believers men and women
are friends of one another.”[11] “And they (woman) have rights (over
their husbands) similar (to those of their husbands) over them.”[12]
“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you
be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old
age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at
them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing
of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on
them your mercy as they did bring me up when I was young.’[13]While
Allaah honours woman, He makes it clear to all mankind that He created
her to be mother, wife, daughter and sister; and ordained for these
roles, special regulations that are peculiar to her.
