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."

Wikipedia often gives good summaries and very often has links to the sources
of information. Especially for less controversial topics.

As a sole formal reference source, they aren't any use. But for a newsgroup
post, they are fine (certainly better than most posts people make)

'Vacuum Quantum Fluctuations in Curved Space
and the Theory of Gravitation
Academician A. D. Sakharov'
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~akempf/sakharov.pdf

"In Einstein’s theory of gravitation one postulates that the action of
spacetime depends on the curvature (R is the invariant of the Ricci
tensor):

S(R) = − 1/16πG (dx)√−gR.

The presence of the action leads to a “metrical elasticity” of space,
i.e., to generalized forces which oppose the curving of space. Here we
consider the hypothesis which identifies the action with the change in
the action of quantum fluctuations of the vacuum if space is curved.
Thus, we consider the metrical elasticity of space as a sort of level
displacement effect."

What Sakharov is referring to is Aether Displacement.

'Emergent Gravity' is Aether Displacement.

Aether is an elastic medium. The aether 'opposes' the curving of
space. The aether 'opposes' its displacement. This is the pressure
exerted by the displaced aether towards the matter.

The 'displacement effect' is the displacement of the aether by matter.

'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.

Ignoring for the moment the foolishness of quoting Wikipedia as a
reference in the field of physics, that Wikipedia article doesn't even
mention "aether" or "ether", much less blather such as "mather". It's
hardly any form of "support" for any "aether" theory.
