That is not 100% accurate. The aether could be moving relative to both
frames of reference as to make the frames physically equivalent in all
respects.

If that is the case, then the light from B will reach M' earlier than
the light from B' in all frames of reference and the light from A'
will reach M earlier than the light from A in all respects.

In this scenario, the light will reach the Observers at M and M'
continually for some period of time as the light waves interact with
the moving aether.

What is physically impossible is for A and A' to be co-located and for
B and B' to be co-located and for the aether to be at rest relative to
both the embankment and the train.

For example, the C-60 molecule in the double slit experiment. The

A molecule is made of matter. It is always embedded in a field filled
with the same kind of matter. The material is always continuous,
whether or not molecules are present in it. The continuity-aspect of
a given volume of matter is what "the aether" (i.e. "ether") denotes.

Change the word "aether" to "matter" and I might agree. (See below
for why I said "might".))

The Earth - as is an atom and a molecule, etc - is a "matter unit",
i.e. a body made of and owning a portion of matter. The atmosphere
travels with and is part of that unit.
If you want to restrict the word "aether" to non-particulate matter
even though it is the same kind of substance as that composing
particles, then -- as explained in What it all is and Why' etc -- the
Earth "ends" at the place where there is a shock-wave in the aether
statistically at rest with the Sun.

> < But I still see it as the light being bent by the aether displaced by the Sun, not the displaced aether composing the Sun even though the Sun and the displaced aether are connected.>

The Sun is a matter-unit too. Earth is part of that parent unit,
even though it moves about within the solar material, just as a swan
or a piece of paper does on Earth, displacing the matter through which
it moves. Wrt light being bent, there are a series of shell layers
surrounding EVERY matter-unit, regardless of its size. Each such layer
is a density gradient. if you MAP that grad d in terms of length and
rates of an event at a place in it, i.e. in terms of co-ordinates
x,y,z of space and t of time, you'd have a "space-time continuum"
whose "curvature" maps the grad d itself. Anything at all, including
a wave of light, that traversed such a gradient would be refracted and/
or diffracted accordingly, even if the displaced matter was NOT part
of a matter-unit moving through it.

Right. It has to do with the nature of reality, which is a word
physicists admittedly don't understand.

Everything is much easier to discuss and conceptually understand if we
stick to light waves propagate through aether, not matter.

If A and A' are co-located and B and B' are co-located, then for the
embankment frame of reference and the train frame of reference to be
physically equivalent in all respects, the aether must be co-moving.
