Yes, there is pressure.

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.

Yes, there is conservation of momentum. Conservation of momentum
requires there to be opposite angular momentums of the associated
downgraded pair. Meaning, the downgraded photon pairs will always be
detected with opposite spins.

Yes, de Broglie answers the question because there is a physical
particle and a physical wave.

A C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). While the C-60 molecule is in the
slit(s) detectors are placed at the exits to the slits. When there are
detectors at the exits to the slits the C-60 molecule is always
detected
exiting a single slit. If the detectors are placed and removed from
the
exits to the slits while the C-60 molecule is in the slit(s) the C-60
molecule creates an interference pattern.

Explain how this is possible without aether.

No reason to continue until you can answer the above.

No one has answered the above question, unless you accept the absurd
nonsense the future determines the past and the C-60 molecule will
enter one slit or the available slits depending upon detectors being
there when the C-60 molecule gets there in the future.

The above is not answered by the Copenhagen interpretation of QM.

Yes, it is answered by de Broglie. In de Broglie wave mechanics there
is a physical particle and a physical wave.

In AD, the physical wave is an aether wave.

Physics by de Broglie Wave Mechanics where the physical wave is an
aether wave.

Whenever you want to explain how the question can be answered without
a physical wave propagating through the available slits, go ahead an
post it.

Until then, the physical wave is an aether wave.

"This research culminated in the de Broglie hypothesis stating that
any
moving particle or object had an associated wave."

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics
by the double solution theory
Louis de BROGLIE'
http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf

"I called this relation, which determines the particle's motion in the
wave, "the guidance formula". It may easily be generalized to the case
of an external field acting on the particle."

"This result may be interpreted by noticing that, in the present
theory,
the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave where the
amplitude is very large, and it therefore seems quite natural that the
internal motion rythm of the particle should always be the same as
that
of the wave at the point where the particle is located."

de Broglie's definition of wave-particle duality is of a physical wave
and a physical particle. The particle occupies a very small region of
the wave.

In AD, the external field is the aether. In a double slit experiment
the
particle occupies a very small region of the wave and enters and exits
a
single slit. The wave enters and exits the available slits.

In AD, the C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave.
The
C-60 molecule always enters and exits a single slit while the
associated
aether displacement wave enters and exits the available slits. The
displacement wave creates interference upon exiting the slits which
alters the direction the C-60 molecule travels. Detecting the C-60
molecule causes decoherence of the associated aether displacement wave
(i.e. turns it into chop) and there is no interference.

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.

Yes, the space-time field is described mathematically in GR. The space-
time field is not defined physically in nature in GR.

In nature, the physical state of the aether as determined by its
physical connections with the matter is the aether's physical state of
displacement.

You perhaps don't understand - but stating, "And the state of the
space-time field (including these connections) is very thoroughly
described in the mathematical formulas of GR. Thus these words are not
just loose verbal waffle, they have a deep and concrete substance
expressed very clearly by the associated mathematics", is not a
physical description of nature. It might have some mathematical value
though.

The following is an explanation of what occurs in nature in a 'delayed
choice quantum eraser' experiment. Following the explanation are two
experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement.

In the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment
When the downgraded photon pair are created, in order for there to be
conservation of momentum, the original photons momentum is maintained.
This means the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
We will describe one of the photons as being the 'up' photon and the
other photon as being the 'down' photon. One of the downgraded photons
travels either the red or blue path towards D0 and the other photon
travels either the red or blue path towards the prism.

There are physical waves in the aether propagating both the red and
blue paths. The aether waves propagating towards D0 interact with the
lens and create interference prior to reaching D0. The aether waves
create interference which alters the direction the photon travels
prior to reaching D0. There are actually two interference patterns
being created at D0. One associated with the 'up' photons when they
arrive at D0 and the other interference pattern associated with the
'down' photons when they arrive at D0.

Both 'up' and 'down' photons are reflected by BSa and arrive at D3.
Since there is a single path towards D3 there is nothing for the wave
in the aether to interfere with and there is no interference pattern
and since it is not determined if it is an 'up' or 'down' photon being
detected at D3 there is no way to distinguish between the photons
arriving at D0 which interference pattern each photon belongs to. The
same for photons reflected by BSb and arrive at D4.

Photons which pass through BSa and are reflected by BSc and arrive at
D1 are either 'up' or 'down' photons but not both. If 'up' photons
arrive at D1 then 'down' photons arrive at D2. The opposite occurs for
photons which pass through BSb. Photons which pass through BSa and
pass through BSb and arrive at D1 are all either 'up' or 'down'
photons. If all 'up' photons arrive at D1 then all 'down' photons
arrive at D2. Since the physical waves in the aether traveling both
the red and blue paths are combined prior to D1 and D2 the aether
waves create interference which alters the direction the photon
travels. Since all 'up' photons arrive at one of the detectors and all
'down' photons arrive at the other an interference pattern is created
which reflects back to the interference both sets of photons are
creating at D0.

Figures 3 and 4 here:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf
Show the interference pattern of the 'up' and 'down' photons. If you
were to combine the two images and add the peaks together and add the
valleys together you would have the interference pattern of the
original photon. This is evidence the downgraded photon pair maintain
the original photons momentum and have opposite angular momentums.

Nothing is erased. There is no delayed choice. Physical waves in the
aether are traveling both the red and blue paths and when the paths
are combined the waves create interference which alters the direction
the photon 'particle' travels.

Experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement:

Experiment #1:

Instead of having a single beam splitter BSc have two beam splitters
BSca and BScb. Have the photons reflected by mirror Ma interact with
BSca and have the photons reflected by mirror Mb interact with BScb.
Do not combine the red and blue paths. Have additional detectors D1a,
D2a, D1b, and D2b. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through
BSca be detected at D1a and D2a. Have the photons reflected by and
propagate through BScb be detected at D1b and D2b. If you compare the
photons detected at D1a and D1b with the photons detected at D0, the
corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference
pattern. If you compare the photons detected at D2a and D2b with the
photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will
form an interference pattern. What is occurring is all 'up' photons
are being detected at one pair of detectors, for example D1a and D1b,
and all 'down' photons are being detected at the other pair of
detectors, for example D2a and D2b. Interference patterns do not even
need to be created in order to 'go back' and determine the
interference patterns created at D0.

Experiment #2:

Alter the experiment. When the downgraded photon pair are created,
have each photon interact with its own double slit apparatus. Have
detectors at one of the exits for each double slit apparatus. When a
photon is detected at one of the exits, in AD, the photon's aether
wave still exists and is propagating along the path exiting the other
slit. When a photon is not detected at one of the exits, the photon
'particle' along with its associated aether wave exits the other slit.
Combine the path the aether wave the detected photon is propagating
along with the path of the other photon and its associated aether
wave. An interference pattern will still be created. This shows the
aether wave of a detected photon still exists and is able to create
interference with the aether wave of another photon, altering the
direction the photon 'particle' travels.

A Fluid is discontinuous and made of larger particle forms we call
atoms.

The fluid is a collection of atoms not a continuous substance.

How so? This would not be obvious when considering e.g., water as a
representative model for the situation. How is this different to water?

What material? Different states? What makes them different - how does one
define the different states of 'the material'?

> Displacement creates pressure.

How? If you displace water in a closed container (hard) the pressure will
increase but it will be the same (increased) value through the whole
volume. But you have indicated instead that in your model the pressure
will increase the closer we are to the object, how can that be?

> Gravity is pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter.

Repeating this mantra doesn't negate the fact that the force from your
pressure gradient would 'lift' other objects away from the first object,
instead of pressing them 'down' to it.

The space-time is the physical reality we live in and GR describes
mathematically it's 4D geometry. This geometry is 'real' as it has real
physical effects. Effects that can be calculated and compared with
measurements.

I asked you to describe a _different_ more recent experiment presented
here:

http://grad.physics.sunysb.edu/~amarch/

I specifically selected that experimental setup because it more clearly
than the wikipedia experiment brings out the salient features of the
issue.

But how does he do it without applying pressure to the water?

But how does the particle displace the frictionless superfluid without
appying pressure to the frictionless superfluid?

But this is surely contradiction. First you ask how to do something
without applying pressure and then you explain it by using pressure.

Add there - 'moving' particle.

Oh this. If you would be so kind and repeat it perhaps a couple of times
more - then maybe I could understand - or maybe not.

I actually responded to this mantra in a sister thread.
