Not really... What do you think it is missing?

Absolutely, one asks what does the 'fields' consist of? And calling

When dealing with large populations (as with an aether medium), using
statistics and probabilities make sense AS LONG AS! you know what
you're dealing with :) Schroedinger's cat is either alive or dead and
it makes no difference whether you looked or not. It is only your
knowledge of the cat's fate that is uncertain until you look. The
whole exercise was to show the silliness of taking such things too
literally.

You're right there. As Einstein once wrote, "there exists no such
thing as empty space" and "space without ether is unthinkable"

Why invent new names needlessly? Further, I think that it will be
realized that, in fact, matter is less dense than 'free space' and
that inertia is an EM response to changes in velocity. Such changes
equires that the fields change and, in turn, this produces a counter
EMF which we perceive as inertia. Then, if the strong equivilence is
true, gravity is related to a second order EM process (v^2).

Yes, it does... But a Feynman just loved to point out, the reason
isn't as straight forward a one likes to think. On the sub-atomic
level...

Again yes it does, but it is because the so-called atoms of the
bowling ball form an electrostatic barrier that the atoms of water
cannot penetrate. Quantum mechanically the wave formss have phase
interferences.

We have solid grounds for that assumption. In fact, provide one other
known system that can result in fluidic behavior.

Reverse the concept, think of matter AS displaced aether...

I think you really mean differential pressures...

Yes, the gravitational 'field' is pressure gradients in the aether...
The real issue is, how do these come about.

Because there are those on this forum who insist aether is a state of
matter and there are others who insist matter is a state of aether.

To try and avoid this pointless discussion I decided to say matter and
aether are different states of the same material and gave this
material the name aether.

It also helps because aether is a one something. So describing a
'quantum of mather' distinguishes a photon directed/pointed wave from
matter when the photon is detected and collapses and is detected as a
quantum of mather.

Either that or aether is displaced by matter and the aether is not at
rest when displaced and displaces back and the displacing back is the
pressure the aether exerts towards the matter which is gravity.

A nucleus displaces aether. The aether is not at rest when displaced
and applies pressure towards the nucleus doing the displacing.

Exactly. The aether displaces back.

Because the aether is displaced.

The aether is not at rest when displaced.

If the aether were at rest when displaced there would be no aether.

If the aether were at rest when displaced, and there were an aether,
there would not be conservation of energy.

If the aether exists then it is displaced by matter. If the aether is
displaced by matter it is not at rest when displaced and 'displaces
back'.

The 'displacing back' is the pressure the aether exerts towards the
matter doing the displacing.

The pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter is gravity.

Gravity is the reason for the observed behaviors in the Casimir
Effect.

'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.

Matter has more mass per volume than aether.

Exactly. I prefer the term compressed. The matter, which is compressed
aether, exists in and displaces the aether. The aether displaces
back.

Because the aether is displaced.

The aether is not at rest when displaced.

If the aether were at rest when displaced there would be no aether.

If the aether were at rest when displaced, and there were an aether,
there would not be conservation of momentum. There would be no
momentum.

How do we know the aether 'displaces back'? Because light from distant
stars reaches us from where Jupiter was in its orbit (i.e. Jupiter
does not leave a void in its wake).

If the aether exists then it is displaced by matter. If the aether is
displaced by matter it is not at rest when displaced and 'displaces
back'.

The 'displacing back' is the pressure the aether exerts towards the
matter doing the displacing.

The pressure exerted by aether displaced by matter is gravity.

Gravity is the reason for the observed behaviors in the Casimir
Effect. The aether displaced by each plate extends past the other
plate. The pressure exerted by the aether displaced by the plates
forces the plates together.
