"to examine physical theories, models, and interpretations of the accepted Relativistic Formal Structure, including recently proposed ether-type theories and analogues."

Thomson and Bourassa's Aether Physics Model was determined to meet the requirements of the conference. "We were first told our paper was accepted, but that all the speaking slots had been filled," said Thomson. But after two days Prof. M Duffy, chair of the conference, informed them the schedule was changed and they were in.

The Aether Physics Model is a quantified theory of quantum structure, which includes a mathematically correct Unified Force Theory. Not only are the forces unified, but space-time and matter also quantify, which allows for the mathematical unification of the forces with space-time (Aether) and matter.

As a result of the theory, they believe they have quantifed the precise physics for tapping Zero Point Energy. ZPE is tapped via the mechanics of the Casimir effect, which according to them, is identical to the strong force law of the electron.
