What physically occurs in nature to cause curved 'space-time', E=mc^2,

Aether Displacement.

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

"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 state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
The material is mæther.
Mæther has mass.
Aether and matter have mass.
Aether is uncompressed mæther and matter is compressed mæther.
Aether is displaced by matter.
The aether is not at rest when displaced and 'displaces back'.
The 'displacing back' is the pressure exerted by the aether.
Gravity is pressure exerted by displaced aether towards matter.

A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The
C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit. The aether wave enters
and exits multiple slits. The aether 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 aether
wave and there is no interference.

'DOES THE INERTIA OF A BODY DEPEND UPON ITS ENERGY-CONTENT?
By A. EINSTEIN'
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/E_mc2/e_mc2.pdf

"If a body gives off the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass
diminishes by L/c2."

The mass of the body does diminish, but the matter which no longer
exists as part of the body has not vanished. It still exists, as
aether. As the matter transitions to aether it expands in three
dimensions. The effect this transition has on the surrounding aether
and matter is energy.

Mass does not convert to energy. Matter converts to aether. As the
mæther transitions from matter to aether it increases in volume. The
physical effect the increase in volume has on the neighboring matter
and aether is energy.

The physical effect of mæther decompressing is energy.

Mass is conserved.

The rate at which an atomic clock 'ticks' is based upon the aether
pressure in which it exists. In terms of motion, the speed of a GPS
satellite with respect to the aether causes it to displace more aether
and for that aether to exert more pressure on the clock in the GPS
satellite than the aether pressure associated with a clock at rest
with respect to the Earth. This causes the GPS satellite clock to
"result in a delay of about 7 ìs/day". The aether pressure associated
with the aether displaced by the Earth exerts less pressure on the GPS
satellite than a similar clock at rest on the Earth" causing the GPS
clocks to appear faster by about 45 ìs/day". The aether pressure
associated with the speed at which the GPS satellite moves with
respect to the aether and the aether pressure associated with the
aether displaced by the Earth causes "clocks on the GPS satellites
[to] tick approximately 38 ìs/day faster than clocks on the ground."

"There is, however, one very clever and very elegant solution to this
problem, a solution first proposed by Peter Higgs. He proposed that
the whole of space is permeated by a field, similar in some ways to
the electromagnetic field. As particles move through space they travel
through this field, and if they interact with it they acquire what
appears to be mass. This is similar to the action of viscous forces
felt by particles moving through any thick liquid. the larger the
interaction of the particles with the field, the more mass they appear
to have. Thus the existence of this field is essential in Higg's
hypothesis for the production of the mass of particles."

The "action of viscous forces felt by particles moving through any
thick liquid" is the particles interaction with the aether. The force
is the pressure exerted by the displaced aether towards the particle.
The "thick liquid" is the aether behaving as a frictionless superfluid
'one something'.

"the larger the interaction of the particles with the field, the more
mass they appear to have." The faster the particle moves with respect
to the aether, the greater the pressure exerted by the displaced
aether towards the particle.

"1. The Higgs Mechanism
In three dimensions, and with the complications of relativity, this is
the Higgs mechanism. In order to give particles mass, a background
field is invented which becomes locally distorted whenever a particle
moves through it. The distortion - the clustering of the field around
the particle - generates the particle's mass. The idea comes directly
from the physics of solids. Instead of a field spread throughout all
space a solid contains a lattice of positively charged crystal atoms.
When an electron moves through the lattice the atoms are attracted to
it, causing the electron's effective mass to be as much as 40 times
bigger than the mass of a free electron."

The distortion of the background field is the displacement of the
aether by the moving particle. The 'clustering' of the field around
the particle is the 'displacing back'. The 'clustering' of the field
is the pressure exerted by the displaced aether towards the particle.

"The idea comes directly from the physics of solids." The aether
behaves as a frictionless superfluid 'one something'.

My guess as to why Einstein did not figure out the cause which
conditions the state of the aether as being the aether's state of
displacement is because of SR. Einstein's attempt to figure out a
unified theory was hindered by SR. What Einstein did not figure out is
the rate at which an atomic clock 'ticks' is determined by the aether
pressure in which it exists. In SR, the state of the aether is the
same for the embankment frame of reference as it is for the train
frame of reference. This is incorrect. What caused Einstein to not be
able to figure out a unified theory is his concept of Relative
required the embankment frame of reference and the train frame of
reference to be equal in all respects. That is incorrect.

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

This means the aether is more at rest with respect to the embankment
than it is for the train. Lightning strikes occur at A/A' and B/B' and
the light from the lightning strikes arrive at the Observer at M on
the embankment simultaneously.

The Observers on the train get together at M' and synchronize there
clocks. The Observer walking towards B' is walking against the 'flow'
of the aether which exerts additional pressure on the atomic clock
causing it to tick slower. The Observer walking towards A' is walking
with the 'flow' of aether which exerts less pressure on the atomic
clock causing it to tick faster. When the Observers arrive at A' and
B', the clocks at A', M', and B' state the time as 12:00:03, 12:00:02,
and 12:00:01, respectively. Once at A' and B' all of the clocks are at
rest with respect to the train, exist under the same amount of aether
pressure, and tick at the same rate.

When the lightning strikes occur the clock at A' reads 12:00:03 and
the clock at B' reads 12:00:01. The light from B/B' arrives at M'
prior to the light from A/A'. When the three Observers get back
together at M' they conclude the lightning strike B/B' occurred prior
to the lightning strike at A/A'.

Light travels at 'c' with respect to the aether.

Let's take this to the next step. The Observers on the embankment and
the Observers on the train decide the aether is at rest with respect
to the surface of the Earth. This means the Observers have decided the
aether is at rest with respect to the embankment and the aether is not
at rest with respect to the train.

Accordingly, the Observers on the train factor this in as they arrive
with their clocks at A' and B'. The Observer who walked towards B'
knows they walked against the 'flow' of aether and offset their atomic
clock accordingly. The Observer who walked towards A' knows they
walked with the 'flow' of aether and offset their atomic clock
accordingly.

When the clocks are at A', M', and B' they all wind up being set to
12:00:02.

Lightning strikes occur at A/A' and B/B' and arrive at the Observer at
M' simultaneously.

The light from B/B' arrives at M' prior to the light from A/A'. When
the three Observers on the train get back together they determine the
clocks at A' and B' both read 12:00:02 and all three Observers, even
though the light did not arrive at M' simultaneously, conclude the
lightning strikes occurred simultaneously with respect to the aether
which they have decided is at rest with respect to the surface of the
Earth.

To clarify why the aether is more at rest with respect to the
embankment than it is for the train:

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

"the state of the former is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places"

In terms of Einstein's train gedanken, this means the aether is mostly
connected to the matter which is the Earth.

Sine the state of the aether is determined by its connections with the
matter which is the Earth, the aether is more at rest with respect to
the surface of the Earth than it is to the moving train.

The Observer at M on the embankment is more at rest with respect to
the aether than is the Observer at M' on the train. The Observer at M'
on the train, and the train itself, can be considered to be 'flowing'
through the aether.

The aether behaves as a frictionless superfluid 'one something'.
