It makes no sense to say a C-60 molecule curves aether as it heads
towards the slits in a double slit experiment. The C-60 molecule
displaces aether as it heads towards the slits in a double slit
experiment. Does a moving boat curve the water in front of its bow or
does a moving boat displace the water in front of its bow.

The density of matter can be variable because the nuclei of the atoms
that make up the matter can displace more aether. Again, if you have a
lead Jupiter and the real Jupiter, the nuclei of the lead Jupiter
occupy more three dimensional space per volume than the nuclei of the
atoms which make up the real Jupiter.

There is less aether between the nuclei of the lead Jupiter than there
is between the nuclei of the real Jupiter. Aether exists where matter
does not. Yes, aether and matter are the same stuff, but I prefer the
definition of matter to be the nuclei of atoms and the three
dimensional space they occupy and the aether to be the stuff that
exists everywhere the nuclei of atoms do not (excluding a discussion
of neutron stars and black holes at this point). So, beside black
holes, there is matter (mostly consisting of the nuclei of atoms) and
aether (which fills the spaces between the nuclei of the atoms).

So, the larger the nuclei of atoms and the closer they are together in
three dimensional space, the less aether there exists between the
nuclei of the atoms and the denser the matter is. The smaller the
nuclei of atoms are and the further apart from one another they are
the less dense the matter is and the more aether which exists between
the nuclei.

Now, when light bends around the Sun, I prefer to consider the light
to be bending due to the displacement of the aether. The aether
closest to the surface of the Sun is displaced the most and the
neighboring aether is less displaced, and the neighboring aether to
that aether is less displaced, and so on. There does not need to be a
'density' of the aether involved in terms of its ability to bend light
and to have increased gravitational effects. It just needs to be a
matter of the amount of displacement which becomes an amount of
pressure against the displacement.

But, aether is compressed into matter. There is a difference between
the states of matter, the density of matter, and the density of the
aether. The density of matter is the amount of, or lack of, aether
which exists between the nuclei of the atoms which is the matter.
Matter can be compressed and uncompressed (aether). But, I would
prefer not to apply the property of density to aether.

When discussing the concept of the Sun 'curving' 'spacetime', what is
being curved? It cannot be three dimensional space because the Sun now
occupies that three dimensional space and in terms of three
dimensional space, nothing has changed.

So, the Sun is 'curving' something. The Sun is 'curving' something
physical. The Sun is 'curving' some kind of stuff.

Aether, quantum foam, plenum,... are all labels placed on the 'stuff
of space'.

Yes, aether has a lot of baggage, but it is what it is.

And 'displaced' is a better concept than 'curved'.

Displaced not only works for 'curved' spacetime, but also works for
the observed behaviors of a double slit experiment with C-60
molecules. The moving C-60 molecule displaces aether which forms a
wave, just like a boat creates a bow wave in water.

'Casimir effect'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

"In a simplified view, a "field" in physics may be envisioned as if
space were filled with interconnected vibrating balls and springs, and
the strength of the field can be visualized as the displacement of a
ball from its rest position."

Should read:

A "field" in physics is space filled with aether, and the strength of
the field is the displacement of the aether from its rest position.

That's interesting. Now, in any given region of space, there are
several fields that exist there SIMULTANEOUSLY: electric field,
magnetic field, gravitational field, strong nuclear field, weak
nuclear field. And all of those different fields have different values
and directions at each point in space. Now, how is that explained by a
single displacement of an aether from its rest position, which of
course can have only one value and one direction at any given point in
space?

Multiple waves interact and continue on.

Gravity is displaced aether pushing back.

Magnetic and electric fields are waves in the aether.
