Besides displacement I'm not really sure, since entrainment is a form
of displacement.

The aether is not a rest when displaced, so there is the associated
aether pressure the aether exerts back towards the matter.

The aether pressure associated with the aether displaced by massive
objects is gravity.

ah, the treacly doohickey of language --
not to mention, translation!

if you would jettison the mere mathematical duality
of the "photon," and stick with the expanding wavefront
for a while, where'd go your quantum of aether?

if you insist on springing from wave- to particle-
interpretation for no reason
-- although all of their properties are dual,
just like in projective geometry & so on --
you won't get much that is reasonable; eh?

thus:

continuous freezing and thawing splinters the brittle granite that
forms some of the park's majestic peaks. Park officials say
comparisons with historical photos suggest that at least some of the
glaciers are expanding."

garbage up; garbage down?

A photon is a directed/pointed wave in the aether which when detected
collapses and is detected as a quantum of aether (the ability of the
photon to collapse and be detected as a quantum of aether travels a
single path while the photon wave travels available paths), or a
photon is a quantum of aether creating a displacement wave in the
aether, or a photon is something else.

work it -- the pitter-patter of mealy-mouthed language!... well,
I saw the "photon" cartoon you posted,
which was neither a wave nor a particle;
more of like a wiggly vector but, so, What's it mean?

it just does not pay, in spite of lots of precedent,
to confuse the two, dual natures of light --
use one or the other, or pause to explain why,
you suddenly shift from one perspective
to the other (no matter how fatuous,
either is, as it stands) without changing (or
even briefly considering) the math.

(the example of the "two column proof"
in projective geometry shows the problem;
you don't *need* both, and
you should never mix the proofs!)

thus:
the models are very hoary, but not frosty, and
have been since no body ever modeled a typical glass house,
including Svente Ahrrenius. and,
the reportage is understandably but lamentably selective.

The animation you saw here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWRNZNemQyY

Is of a particle and its associated aether wave, not a photon in
particular.
