A complete unified theory, also termed Grand Unified Theory (GUT), must also account for the weak and strong nuclear forces. These are short-range forces in the atomic nucleus, namely, their strength drops off fast with distance from the center of the nucleus. Present physics offers no sensible explanation for these forces. In the aether, however, they are the result of vortex fluid dynamics.
The electron vortex has a short-range core field in addition to the long range electromagnetic and gravitational fields, but due to the rapid decline with distance, the external effect of this field has not been noticed. A tentative description of this field is presented in the EXPERT section of physics in my other web-site http://www.aetherpress.com .
Aside from accounting for all known physical phenomena, the aether theory removes all ambiguity regarding the fundamental structure of physical reality because no unexplained postulates are introduced. Thus, as far as measuring units are concerned, only length and time are used. Extension and time are mathematical continua without a measure.
Our physical reality is based on the existence of fundamental particles (gyrons) with a given finite size and velocity. Distance can then be measured in multiples of the size of a gyron, while time can be measured as the ratio of the gyron size to its speed. Since gyrons have a distribution of speed, the rms value, designated by c, can be used. A list of the resulting basic measuring units is presented in the table on the right.
