The Zeeman Effect: Aetherspace-Virtual Photons

The Zeeman effect was discovered by Pieter Zeeman in 1896. It happens when an atom emits light in the presence of an external magnetic field.

• This makes its single spectral line split into several closely spaced lines—typically 2 lines as a doublet, or 3 lines as a triplet.

Physics explains the mechanism for the splitting as the “fine” structure of atom.

• This gives the atom separate shells where the electrons can jump and so produce the doublet or triplet.

This fine structure led to the fine structure constant which is the fundamental dimensionless constant that we interpret as the ratio between aetherspace (som1) and virtual photons (mor3).

Proves the Division of Space

In Descartes’ Physics, the presence of 2 spinning vortices or bodies makes one go around the other. This creates a territory that has 3 parts which we expand to 7 to match:

• the energy shells in atoms or the aetherspace
• the parts of a solar system

The Zeeman effect proves the division of the aetherspace into 6 internal parts (the 7th is the edge).

• The doublet exposes the 6 parts being grouped into 2.
• The triplet exposes the 6 parts being grouped into 3.
