Einstein's idea of motion requires particles which can be tracked
through time.

"Generalising we must say this:- There may be supposed to be extended
physical objects to which the idea of motion cannot be applied. They
[the physical objects to which the idea of motion cannot be applied]
may not be thought of as consisting of particles which allow
themselves to be separately tracked through time."

"The special theory of relativity forbids us to assume the ether to
consist of particles observable through time, but the hypothesis of
ether in itself is not in conflict with the special theory of
relativity."

"If the existence of such floats for tracking the motion of the
particles of a fluid were a fundamental impossibility in physics - if,
in fact nothing else whatever were observable than the shape of the
space occupied by the water as it varies in time, we should have no
ground for the assumption that water consists of movable particles.
But all the same we could characterise it as a medium."

Aether Displacement: The shape of the space occupied by the aether as
it varies in time, as determined by its connections with the matter.

Obviously you don't have a clue what Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
states. If you know its position so exactly, you _cannot_ know its
momentum (and thus its velocity/direction) to a high position. It's
impossible. Disprove this and the Nobel Prize in Physics would be
pretty much automatic.

How? Their momentum has been destroyed by the detection per HUP.

"Partcle" One: Ether entrained by the Sun.
"Particle" Two: Ether entrained by Mercury.
"Particle" Two: Ether entrained by Venus.

etc.

Don't think "particle means very small.

So ether entrainment is ruled out.

Thus no ether motion, therefore no entrainment/"stationary with respect to
the embankment" etc.

"Particle" One Sun's entrained ether.

etc.

No separate motion, no entrainment.

Separate "particles" rule out entrainment. Any such entrained ether would
be separate particles of ether, thus entrainment is impossible.

What I was referring to is if you place detectors at the exits to the
slits in a double slit experiment and you detect the particle exiting
one of the slits you know in what general area on the screen the
particle will be detected.

Matter is compressed aether, but I'm pretty sure Einstein was not
discussing matter as being the particles within the aether which could
be tracked through time.

"If the existence of such floats for tracking the motion of the
particles of a fluid were a fundamental impossibility in physics - if,
in fact nothing else whatever were observable than the shape of the
space occupied by the water as it varies in time, we should have no
ground for the assumption that water consists of movable particles.
But all the same we could characterise it as a medium."

Especially because the state of the aether is determined by its
connections with the matter.

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

What part of Einstein's definition of motion are you having difficulty

The C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). The instant before it exits the
slit(s) detectors are placed at the exits. The C-60 molecule is
detected exiting a single slit. Explain this in QM.

In AD, the C-60 molecule always exits a single slit.

How do you know a singleton cannot be entrained?

Separate particles are not ruled out, nor are they ruled in. As
defined by Einstein, the aether "may not be thought of as consisting
of particles which allow themselves to be separately tracked through
time."

Separate particles are not ruled out, nor ruled in. Einstein said,
aether "may not be thought of as consisting of particles which allow
themselves to be separately tracked through time."
