Harold Aspden (b. 1927) is a retired British author, theoretical physicist, electrical engineer, and inventor from Southampton, Hampshire, England. He is an outspoken critic of Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and has proposed a whole new concept of Physics based on a dynamic Aether fluid crystal structure permeating all space: the energy source that regulates quantum activity, constantly framing our whole physical universe, and that accounts for the creation of matter.[1]
He is the author of a number of books, most notably Physics without Einstein (1969; 2005), The Physics of Creation (2003) and Creation: The Physical Truth (2006). He is also author of a number of papers published in notable peer-review journals (Journal of Applied Physics [1952], Lettere al Nuovo Cimento [Europhysics Letters], Physics Today, etc.) and in alternative non-mainstream journals (Hadronic Journal, Physics Essays, etc.).
His academic career was conducted at the following institutions: Manchester (B.Sc., 1945-1948), Trinity College, Cambridge (Ph.D., 1950-1953) and Southampton (Visiting Senior Research Fellow, 1983-1992). He was the director in charge of IBM's European Patent Operations from 1963 to 1983. He is also member of the British Institute of Physics.

Physics
Harold Aspden's work was initiated with his Ph.D thesis on a magnetic energy loss anomaly, an anomalous loss of energy encountered in all of the world's electrical power systems, which led him to contemplate the existence of the aether through research and analysis in the subsequent years.[2]
His work was mentioned in the 1985 paper of the experimental direct precision measurement of the proton-electron mass-ratio, which was reported some 10 years after Aspden had presented the value (slightly above 1836.152 [3]) derived from his theoretical research of the aether:
- "The value that they [Aspden and Eagles] calculate is remarkably close to our experimentally measured value (i.e. within two standard deviations) This is even more curious when one notes that they published this result several years before direct precision measurements of this ratio had begun." R. S. Van Dyck, Jr., F. L. Moore, D. L. Farnham and P. B. Schwinberg in Int. J. Mass Spectrometry and Ion Processes, 66, p. 327, 1985.
In 1972, Aspden had already predicted the value of the fine structure constant with part-per-million precision; years before it was measured to this accuracy.[4] This accomplishment was mentioned 13 years later, 1985, in the reference work The Fundamental Constants and the Frontier of Measurement by B. W. Petley of the National Physical Laboratory, UK:
- "No doubt the theoretical attempts to calculate alpha will continue - possibly with a Nobel prize winning success. Aspden and Eagles obtained α-1 = 108π(8/1843)1/6."
In 1988, through the development of the same theory of the proton, employing a simple physical concept that the spin properties of a particle are those exhibited by its charge and mass-energy as confined within a radius defined by an enveloping wave-defined boundary, he derived a theoretical evaluation of the proton magnetic moment as being 2.792847367 in nuclear magnetons [5] [6], which, as can be seen, compared quite well with the CODATA measurement value of 2.792847386(63).
He has authored numerous papers that attempt to debunk Einsteinian relativity [7] and Hawking's expanding universe [8] and that support a cosmology based on the aether subtle medium, that is, that there are two intermeshing worlds, both having three space dimensions, the material world that we can see and the etheric, unseen ghost-like underworld, that we can sense by phenomena which standard model physics has been unable to explain, notably gravitation. He describes that the aether has a kind of fluid crystal structure (that is partly dragged along by the earth), the oscillatory jitter of which accounts for its quantum electrodynamic properties and, arising from its need for dynamic balance, the force of gravitation. He has also developed various patented free energy (over-unity) systems and advanced the foundations of an unified theory which claims to account for known celestial-cosmological phenomena better than currently held theories, i.e. the formation of the solar system and its angular momentum.[9] Subsequently, publication and references to his work, with or without explicit mathematical content, have been avoided within the scientific mainstream, labeled as "science fiction" by a journal deemed as "high standard" [10], or otherwise dismissed without any substantiated reason.[11] [12]
In 2005, Aspden criticized the entire scientific community of physicists and cosmologists, in his research papers [13] [14], on one hand, for building mammoth accelerators costing billions of dollars to produce high speed impact of protons when they do not have any theory giving insight into how those protons themselves are created; and, on the other hand, for the vast expenditure in probing the depths of remote space based on their unproven notion that gravitation applies without moderation within very dense matter deemed to exist in so-called neutron stars when they have no theory showing how G, the constant of gravitation, is determined here on Earth in terms of electrical interaction as between particles. He further describes how his work with more than 50 years of research, shedding comprehension into fundamental assumptions that have hindered physics advancement during the last 20th century (such as the erroneous foundation of Earnshaw's theorem[15] [16] or an alternative interpretation to the Pauli exclusion principle [17]), has been ignored by the scientific community.[18] Simultaneously, he has invited the whole community to disprove the results provided by the unified theory of a new physics that he presents, based on the sea of energy, the dynamic Aether medium, that permeates all space:
- "Who, I wonder, will challenge my comment that the sun is not powered by hot nuclear fusion?" [19]
