Hector Luis Bonilla is an American independent researcher and self-described amateur philosopher based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Working outside the academic establishment, he has developed a body of speculative ideas connecting the Aether, Magnetism and Gravity, which he presented in two self-published books and a series of conference papers during the 1990s.

Biography

Bonilla is a recycling engineer by profession. He attended Greenfield Community College in Greenfield, Massachusetts, during the 1970s, and has otherwise pursued his interests as an autodidact through public-library research. He is married and has two children.

Bonilla describes himself as an amateur philosopher and holds that nature is a "transformer system," in which the individual parts are constantly changing while the whole remains eternally the same. He has presented oral papers on his ideas at scientific meetings sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Natural Philosophy Alliance. His first printed paper appeared in the Journal of New Energy (Salt Lake City) in 1996, where his work carried the affiliation "Philadelphia Aether-Magnetic Institute of Technology."

Ideas and research

Bonilla's work forms a connected chain of arguments that begins with the aether and proceeds, step by step, to gravity:

• Aether and magnetism. In his first book, Aether-Magnetism (1995), and the related 1996 paper "Is the Aether the Reason for the Existence of Magnetism? ", he argues that magnetism is not a fundamental phenomenon in its own right but instead arises from the aether.
• Magnetism and gravity. In "Is Magnetism the Reason of the Existence of Gravity?" (1997) he extends the argument, proposing that the Earth's magnetic field actually rotates many times faster than the planet itself — driving the planet's spin and the East-to-West motion of the atmosphere — and that, through a negative pressure gradient, this fast-rotating field is the cause of gravity. He further suggests that the source of the field lies not at the Earth's center but outside the solid core, within its molten section.
• Time and "timeless systems." In "On the Illusion Derived from Timeless Systems" (Journal of New Energy, vol. 1, 1996), he explores the philosophical consequences of his "transformer system" view of nature, in which the enduring whole gives rise to an illusion when contrasted with its ever-changing parts.

These themes are drawn together in his second book, Astrogeology, Origin and Destiny of the Earth (1999).
