You are mistaking objects like planets which exist in the aether to the actual physical particles which are particle of aether. Einstein is saying the particles of aether cannot be tracked separately through time. Now, in AD, aether is uncompressed matter, so to translate this into AD, the aether does not consist of uncompressed particles of matter which can 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." > > And entrained ether would be OBSERVABLE THROUGH TIME. > How? > Of course the emphasis you added was not Einstein's own.

Any material medium that is elastic is made of particles. Any material medium that exerts pressure is made of particles. Your medium is therefore made of particles, because you say it is elastic and exerts pressure. You also say it is displaced and entrained. Therefore it is moved, because that's what those words mean. Therefore the particles in your aether move, which means they can be tracked in time. > > "Generalising we must say this:- There may be supposed to be extended > physical objects to which the idea of motion cannot be applied.
