The aether is entrained by the Earth. The aether moves with respect to the Earth's rotation. The plane flying east to west is facing an aether 'headwind' while the plane flying west to east an aether 'tailwind'.

USE GOGGLE GROUPS! I think I have it backwards on the 'headwind' and 'tailwind'. The entrained aether 'lags' the Earth's rotation. This means the plane flying west to east has the 'headwind' because it has to fly through more aether. The plane flying east to west has the 'tailwind' because it is flying with the lagging aether relative to the Earth. Let's say the aether 'connected' to the surface of the Earth lags the Earth's rotation at the equator by 1 mile every 24 hours. Let's also say a plane takes 24 hours to fly around the Earth at the equator. A plane flying west to east will travel through 2 miles more aether than a plane flying east to west.

The faster an atomic clock moves with respect to the aether, the more the aether exerts pressure on the atomic clock, the slower the clock 'ticks'. The greater the gravity, the more the aether exerts pressure on the atomic clock, the slower the clock 'ticks'. Gravity is aether pressure.

Actually, for several decades ending around 2008, I used the word "dinsity" to denote a quantity of ether per cc. Why? Because "density" means "mass/cc" and in my oldish terms, "raw undifferentiated non- particulate etheric matter has no mass". Why did I change from "dinsity" to "density" wrt etheric matter? For the reason I'd hoped to provide after you answered my "(misleadingly) 'simple'" question, How do you measure a quantity of matter? (I expected you or someone else to answer, "You weigh it." Instead, you said, "The quantity of matter is determined by the amount of displaced aether. I know this is not what you are looking for but the amount of aether matter displaces is mass.") If, as you said, mass is the amount of {incompressible?} aether that matter displaces, then "mass" would be restricted to aether. Given your reply to my question "How do you measure a quantity of aether?" I will ask it another way: If A=Mc^2 denotes a quantity of aether, how would you MEASURE it in order to find the value of A in a given case? glird > What does aether 'density' get you > that aether 'pressure' does not? |
