Dear mpc755: The discussions about the existence of an ether started
because there was wrongly assumed to be some... 'medium' needed for
light 'waves' (sic) to travel through. Any theory about matter
dragging ether are your own concoction, having little if anything to
do with the price-of-eggs-in-China. — NE —

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_drag_hypothesis

"According to the aether drag hypothesis light propagates in a special
medium, the aether, that remains attached to things as they move."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_luminiferous_aether

" 1830 - Fresnel develops a formula for predicting and measuring
aether dragging by massive objects, based on a coupling constant. Such
dragging seems to be at odds with aberration however, which would
require the Earth not to drag the aether in order to be visible.

George Gabriel Stokes becomes a champion of the dragging
theory."
