Ahh, ok.

Sorry for this repeat below, but I am hoping for some coherent

I am ready and willing to answer all questions and criticisms, so
long
as they are made in good faith. I realize that science involves some
give and take, since we all get a bit rattled by challenges to our
favored assumptions, ideas and paradigms. But I distinguish between
constructive scientific questioning and the closed-mindedness of the
modern day "Church", which quite ironically is the theoretical
physicists themselves this time around!

"There we see the first arguments that indicate the logical necessity
for quantum behaviour, at both the spatial level and at the matter
level. There space is, at one of the lowest levels, a quantumfoam
system undergoing ongoing classicalisation. That model suggest that
gravity is caused by matter changing the processing rate of the
informational system that manifests as space, and as a consequence
space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter. However this is not a ‘flow’
of some form of ‘matter’ through space, as previously considered in

one region is relative only to the patterns in nearby regions, and not
relative to some a priori background geometrical space"

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
Aether is displaced by matter.
Displacement creates pressure.
Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.

What is described as "space effectively ‘flows’ towards matter" is the
pressure exerted by the aether towards the matter.

"Then the ‘flow’ in one region is relative only to the patterns in
nearby regions"

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places" -
Albert Einstein

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in nearby regions is the aether's
state of displacement.

Einstein was not talking about the classical aether that people
invoked to act as the carrier of electromagnetic waves.

Rather he explored the different idea that the geometry of spacetime,
which is not a rigid absolute framework, but rather is a deformable
participant in the dynamics of nature, could be thought of as a modern
version of the aether.

Relativity does not rule out all aethers, just the classical fixed
aether, which violates special relativity.

Everything is under a flow that has no rate but does have a center.
This is the strength of gravity.

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity
by
Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation
of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space
and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time
intervals in the physical sense."

What Einstein discussed is a state of the aether as determined by its
connections with the matter and the state of the aether in neighboring
places. What Einstein did not discuss was a cause of the condition.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring
places, ...disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The cause which conditions its state is its displacement by matter.

The above sentence is making the exact same point as the following:

Gravitation, the 'Dark Matter' Effect and the Fine Structure Constant
http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0401047

"Then the ‘flow’ in one region is relative only to the patterns in
nearby regions"

The 'flow' as discussed in the article is exactly the same analogy as
Einstein's concept of the state of the aether is determined by its
connections with the matter and the state of the aether in neighboring
places.

The weakness in Einstein's description is put forth by Einstein
himself, "disregarding the causes which condition its state." Einstein
does not hypothesize as to the cause which conditions the state of the
aether as determined by its connections with the matter and the state
of the aether in neighboring places.

Besides the quotes around 'flow', it is obvious from the article that
a physical description is not being put forth as to the cause of the
'flow'. In fact, in the article, it reverts to a mathematical
conclusion about what the 'flow' is:

"rather the flow is an ongoing rearrangement of the quantum-foam
patterns that form space, and indeed only have a geometrical
description at a coarse-grained level."

As is true of all, if not most, of QM explanations for what occurs
physically in nature the misunderstanding of the difference between
mathematics and nature is self evident.

What is being discussed by Einstein, in terms of "the state of the
[ether] is at every place determined by connections with the matter
and the state of the ether in neighbouring places", and in the
article, in terms of "gravity is caused by matter changing the
processing rate of the informational system that manifests as space"
and "the ‘flow’ in one region is relative only to the patterns in
nearby regions", are both referring to the aether's state of
displacement.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
Aether is displaced by matter.
Displacement creates pressure.
Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.
