"The original Michelson–Morley experiment was useful for testing the
Lorentz–FitzGerald contraction hypothesis only."
This is very different than the aether of relativity.
'ON THE ELECTRODYNAMICS OF MOVING BODIES By A. Einstein'
http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/
"The introduction of a “luminiferous ether” will prove to be
superfluous inasmuch as the view here to be developed will not require
an “absolutely stationary space” provided with special properties, nor
assign a velocity-vector to a point of the empty space in which
electromagnetic processes take place."
What Einstein is stating is superfluous is the ether of Lorentz, which
is what the Michelson-Morley experiment was trying to detect, not the
ether itself.
In order to understand Einstein's definition of ether you need to
understand Einstein's definition of motion as applied to the ether.
Einstein's definition of motion as applied to the ether is defined
throughout the following article as the ether does not consist of
individual particles which can be separately tracked through time.
'Ether and the Theory of Relativity - Albert Einstein'
http://www.tu-harburg.de/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html
"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."
"There may be supposed to be extended physical objects to which the
idea of motion cannot be applied. They 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."
"According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is
unthinkable;...But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with
the quality characteristic of ponderable media, as consisting of parts
which may be tracked through time. The idea of motion may not be
applied to it."
Every time Einstein mentions motion as applied to the ether it is
defined as the ether does not consist of individual particles which
can be separately tracked through time. This is different than
Einstein's definition of mobility as applied to the ether.
The ether of general relativity is mobile.
"It may be added that the whole change in the conception of the ether
which the special theory of relativity brought about, consisted in
taking away from the ether its last mechanical quality, namely, its
immobility."
The mobility of the ether is the state of displacement of the ether.
"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, ...
"
The state of the ether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the ether in neighboring places is the state
of displacement of the ether.
"... disregarding the causes which condition its state."
Einstein was unable to determine the causes which condition the state
of the ether.
Einstein was very close to understanding the state of the ether as
determined by its connections with the matter and the state of the
ether in neighboring places is the state of displacement of the ether
in his 'First Paper' which was a letter he wrote his uncle as a
teenager.
'Einstein's "First Paper"'
http://www.worldscibooks.com/etextbook/4454/4454_chap1.pdf
"The velocity of a wave is proportional to the square root of the
elastic forces which cause [its] propagation, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the aether moved by these forces."
This is more correctly understood in terms of relativity as the mass
of the aether displaced by these forces.
Light propagates as an aether displacement wave.

There is no aether.

Aether has mass.

Aether is physically displaced by matter.
Aether displaced by matter exerts force toward the matter.
Force exerted toward matter by aether displaced by matter is gravity.

The aether Einstein talking about in general theory of relativity is space,
it is not a ponderable media, devoid of all mechanical and kinematical
qualities.
Ponderable media defined as consisting of parts which can be tracked
through time.
Einstein ruled out one with mass.
By the way, a frictionless superfluid has components that can be tracked
through time. That's what "flow" means, so when they talk about the flow
of a frictionless superfluid, they're talking about how it is tracked
through time. Note this is also what Einstein said the aether cannot be.

That is why I always say, the aether is, or behaves similar to, a

Solids do not get displaced. Fluids do. Fluids flow and that is
trackable in time. Which is what Einstein denied.
Not if it is that which occupies three dimensional space unoccupied by
matter.

You have a closed container full of helium-3 which is in the state
where it is a frictionless superfluid with properties of a solid.
There is a ball in the tank. If all you knew of the helium-3 is that
its shape alters as the ball moves around in the tank then you would
have no reason to assume the helium-3 consists of individual particles
which can be tracked through time. However, it would still be a medium
in which the ball exists.

If the ball moves around in the tank, then I know that it's moving in a
fluid, not a solid. Balls don't move around in solids, they move around
in fluids. Fluids flow. Flow is trackable in time by definition.
Not if it is that which occupies three dimensional space unoccupied by
matter and all we are able to detect is the change in its shape as it
alters in time.

You do understand Einstein is using water as an analogy for the
aether, correct? You do understand Einstein defines aether as not
consisting of individual particles which can be separately tracked
through time, correct?

What does that mean, anyway? A superfluid with properties of a solid?
ITI that such a thing has some properties of a fluid, some of a solid.
Which?
As for fluids being trackable in time, that was rather the point of
the water wave/float analogy. If we have no floats, we can't track the
movement of the medium in time. We can track disturbances in the
medium (waves) nonetheless.

Balls don't move around in solids (very fast, at any rate), but
defects do.
Part of light is aether that flows or floats through space which is
aether.

Permittivity and permeability being which? Mechanical? Or kinematical

No, you don't. If all you know is its shape is changing then you do
not now if it consists of individual particles which can be separately
tracked through time.

'Superfluid Is Shown To Have Property Of A Solid'
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/07/990730072958.htm
"Northwestern University physicists have for the first time shown that
superfluid helium-3 -- the lighter isotope of helium, which is a
liquid that has lost all internal friction, allowing it to flow
without resistance and ooze through tiny spaces that normal liquids
cannot penetrate -- actually behaves like a solid in its ability to
conduct sound waves."
'"Faraday's finding was the first indication that light and magnetism
were related," says William Halperin, professor of physics and
astronomy at Northwestern. "I wouldn't say that our discovery is of
that magnitude, but it is significant as the first observation of a
previously unknown mode of wave propagation in a liquid -- one that is
of the type you would expect to see in a solid."'

Once you remove the knowledge of its fluidity and its ability to
displace around objects. You, on the other hand, say the aether gets
displaced -- that is, it moves (since that's what displacement MEANS) --
which is a behavior that is trackable in time. I have no problem with
the aether that Einstein was talking about -- today we call it
spacetime. However, YOUR aether, the one that exhibits displacement and
which you liken to a superfluid, that's the one that Einstein says can't
happen and I agree with him.
Oh shit! "Proof by assertion"!
That one gets me every time! You win!
Then how about "There is no known observational evidence which is
accounted for by aether that is not accounted for without aether."
This then is not just an assertion. It is something that is supported by
documentation.
(Now, please please PLEASE tell me that of course there is no
documentation of the evidence, because it's all been suppressed and
packed away in Top Secret files in locked filing cabinets in underground
facilities guarded by UN troops.)
Aether and matter are different states of the same material.
Matter is condensation of the aether.
Matter evaporates into aether.
Matter and aether have mass.
Mass is that which physically occupies three dimensional space.
Matter and aether physically occupy three dimensional space.

Einstein removed from the aether of Lorentz its immobility. Meaning, the
aether of relativity is mobile.

"It may be added that the whole change in the conception of the ether

The mobility of the aether of relativity is its displacement by matter.

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the

of displacement of the aether.
The following is evidence of the aether of relativity.
'Dark Halo Around Our Galaxy Looks Like Squished Beach Ball'
http://www.space.com/7746-dark-halo-galaxy-squished-beach-ball.html
"Dark matter seems to shroud the remaining visible matter in giant
spheres called haloes."
The Milky Way's halo is displaced aether.
"But the new study found that the Milky Way's halo isn't exactly
spherical, but squished. In fact, its beach-ball form is flattened in a
surprising direction perpendicular to the galaxy's visible,
pancake-shaped spiral disk."
All of the aether displaced by the Milky Way matter exerts force toward
the matter. The force exerted toward the matter by the aether displaced
perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy's spiral disk offset. It is the
aether which is displaced outward relative to the plane of the spiral
disk which exerts force toward the center of the galaxy. This forces the
matter closer together which results in the displaced aether looking
like a squished beach ball.
Matter does not move with dark matter. Matter moves through the aether.
'Offset between dark matter and ordinary matter: evidence from a
sample of 38 lensing clusters of galaxies'
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.16739.x/abstract
"We compile a sample of 38 galaxy clusters which have both X-ray and
strong lensing observations, and study for each cluster the projected
offset between the dominant component of baryonic matter centre
(measured by X-rays) and the gravitational centre (measured by strong
lensing)."
The offset is due to the galaxy clusters moving through the aether.
The analogy is a submarine moving through the water. You are under
water. Two miles away from you are many lights. Moving between you and
the lights one mile away is a submarine. The submarine displaces the
water. The state of displacement of the water causes the center of the
lensing of the light propagating through the water to be offset from the
center of the submarine itself. The offset between the center of the
lensing of the light propagating through the water displaced by the
submarine and the center of the submarine itself is going to remain the
same as the submarine moves through the water. The submarine continually
displaces different regions of the water. The state of the water
connected to and neighboring the submarine remains the same as the
submarine moves through the water even though it is not the same water
the submarine continually displaces.
This is what is occurring physically in nature as the galaxy clusters
move through the aether.

If one looks at the history of aether theory the question of whether
aether is a solid or a fluid has been argued forever. It seems to me
that the problem is that aether is BOTH. Balls move around in it and
yet at the same time it is clearly capable of transmitting polarized
transverse waves! What the 19th century scientists were not aware of
were properties BEYOND mere solid and liquid, namely the various super-
fluid properties that came to light much later. Aether, it seems to
me, MUST have properties like that! And that is where aether theory
has to go.
Evaporation and condensation, by the way, are processes by which
individual particles in a medium transition between two different fluid
states, by virtue of their motion. (Which are of course trackable in time.)

I think you're in a corner here. You want Einstein to say at the same
time that aether is mobile and therefore moves, and that it nevertheless
cannot be tracked in time. That which moves can be tracked in time.
I can hardly wait until you get to the point where you are interpreting
Einstein to say that something is both round and square at the same
time, if you need him to say that.
Read what I said. I said "There is no known observational evidence which
is accounted for by aether that is not accounted for without aether."
That is true even for the observation you quoted.
Exactly. We have evidence of superfluids with properties of a solid. To
think the aether cannot have the same properties simply because we can
not know if it consists of particles or not is to be in denial.
'Superfluid Is Shown To Have Property Of A Solid'
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/07/990730072958.htm
Place a ball into a tank filled with helium-3 in the state where it is a
superfluid with properties of a solid. The ball displaces the helium-3.
Take the ball out of the helium-3. The helium-3 fills-in where the ball
had been. This is evidence the helium-3 is exerting force toward the ball.
Get to something as large as the Earth and the force exerted toward the
Earth by the aether displaced by the Earth is gravity.
If you roll a ball down a ramp of a tank filled with helium-3 in the
state where it is a superfluid with properties of a solid the rolling
ball is going to displace the helium-3 into the form of a wave. The ball
rolling down the ramp has an associated helium-3 displacement wave.
The particle in a double slit experiment has an associated aether
displacement wave.
Except for the aether where it can not be known if aether consists of

Einstein's definition of motion as applied to the aether is the aether
does not consist of individual particles which can be tracked through time.
Einstein states the aether of relativity is mobile.
What I have figured out is the mobility of the aether of relativity is
its displacement by matter.
The following is evidence of the aether of relativity.

Then it can't be described as evaporating or condensing, because those
processes necessarily involve substances with particles. That's how
evaporation and condensation works.

Nope. All that's needed is the property of mass, which you claim it has.
That is sufficient to determine that it is trackable in time.
That which has mass and displaces has momentum. Momentum is measurable,
always and everywhere. Measuring momentum is tracking in time. That
which displaces and has mass is trackable in time.

No he doesn't. He never said that. He said he had ruled out Lorentz's
immobile aether by removing it's ONLY mechanical quality, its
immobility. This does not leave a mobile aether as the remaining
conclusion. YOU said that, not Einstein. In so doing, you replace one
mechanical quality (immobility) with another (mobility), which is not
what Einstein claimed to do.
I'm sure that if a coroner were looking at a dead body and ruled out a

mean that he was assigning a fast-acting poison as the cause of death.
What you claim to have figured out is how something can simultaneously
be moving and not trackable in time. This, of course, is like claiming

"Think of waves on the surface of water. Here we can describe two
entirely different things. Either we may observe how the undulatory
surface forming the boundary between water and air alters in the
course of time; or else-with the help of small floats, for instance we
can observe how the position of the separate particles of water alters
in the course of 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."

If the aether is not immobile then it is mobile.
The following is evidence of the aether of relativity.

No sir. Because then it is trackable in time. Especially if it
evaporates and condenses, and if it has mass and displaces.
You are not understanding what Einstein said.
Unless you have observational evidence which is accounted for by aether
which is not accounted for without aether, you do not have evidence for
aether.

If one looks at the history of aether theory the question of whether
aether is a solid or a fluid has been argued forever. It seems to me
that the problem is that aether is BOTH.

The following is evidence of the aether of relativity.
Matter does not move with dark matter. Matter moves through the aether.
'Superfluid Is Shown To Have Property Of A Solid'
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/07/990730072958.htm
"Northwestern University physicists have for the first time shown that
superfluid helium-3 -- the lighter isotope of helium, which is a
liquid that has lost all internal friction, allowing it to flow
without resistance and ooze through tiny spaces that normal liquids
cannot penetrate -- actually behaves like a solid in its ability to
conduct sound waves."
'"Faraday's finding was the first indication that light and magnetism
were related," says William Halperin, professor of physics and
astronomy at Northwestern. "I wouldn't say that our discovery is of
that magnitude, but it is significant as the first observation of a
previously unknown mode of wave propagation in a liquid -- one that is
of the type you would expect to see in a solid."'

Place a ball into a tank filled with helium-3 in the state where it is a
superfluid with properties of a solid. The ball displaces the helium-3.
Take the ball out of the helium-3. The helium-3 fills-in where the ball
had been. This is evidence the helium-3 is exerting force toward the ball.
If you roll a ball down a ramp of a tank filled with helium-3 in the
state where it is a superfluid with properties of a solid the rolling
ball is going to displace the helium-3 into the form of a wave. The ball
rolling down the ramp has an associated helium-3 displacement wave.
The state of the helium-3 as determined by its connections with the
matter which exists in it is its state of displacement.
The Earth displaces enough aether that the force exerted toward the
Earth by the aether displaced by the Earth is gravity.

The analogy is a submarine moving through the water. You are under
water. Two miles away from you are many lights. Moving between you and
the lights one mile away is a submarine. The submarine displaces the
water. The state of displacement of the water causes the center of the
lensing of the light propagating through the water to be offset from the
center of the submarine itself. The offset between the center of the
lensing of the light propagating through the water displaced by the
submarine and the center of the submarine itself is going to remain the
same as the submarine moves through the water. The submarine continually
displaces different regions of the water. The state of the water
connected to and neighboring the submarine remains the same as the
submarine moves through the water even though it is not the same water
the submarine continually displaces.
This is what is occurring physically in nature as the galaxy clusters
move through the aether.

Is it the comma which is confusing you? Does it help if it is removed?
But this ether may not be thought of as endowed with the quality
characteristic of ponderable media as consisting of parts which may
be tracked through time.
Let's try defining ponderable media to see if that helps.
ponderable media: consisting of parts which may be tracked through time.
The aether of relativity does not consist of individual particles which
can be separately tracked through time. The aether of relativity is mobile.
The mobility of the aether of relativity is its displacement.

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections

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 state
of displacement of the aether.
What Einstein was unable to determine is the cause which conditions
the state of the aether. The cause which conditions the state of the
aether is its displacement by matter.
Why are you attempting to ridicule the whole idea of aether by
gratuitously bringing up imaginary "conspiracy theories" that only YOU
and not anyone else mentioned? Is this a political or scientific
discussion? If political, we can begin a nice discussion of how
classified information is kept in locked filing cabinets some of which
are even underground. I presume you've never held any clearances (or
do you have the high clearance of an official "debuker")
To return to science: As Einstein noted, the observational evidence
is that space has properties. Electrical properties! An assertion that
these properties exist with nothing to create them is as absurd as is
the current ideas that EM fields are simply "behavior" with nothing
present to actually have the "behavior". This is all tail-chasing
word games. If these properties are properties of "empty space" then
obviously space is not "empty". So then one must ask if it's even
POSSIBLE to create a "true" (empty) vacuum! So far there is no
commonly known evidence that a true vacuum is even possible. So space
or aether it's just your name-game. But aether theory DOES propose
that a "true" vacuum is possible. So there is the true test.

Let's see a reference for that.

There is at least one phenomenon which as of today can only be explained
by aether theory and that is the formation of the Milky Way disk and halo.
Aether physically occupies three dimensional space. Aether is physically
displaced by matter. Aether displaced by matter exerts force toward the
matter.
The matter which would form the Milky Way was moving as it displaced the
aether. The aether displaced perpendicular to this major direction of
motion became the majority force of the displaced aether and forced the
matter into the disk. This resulted in the angular momentum of the
matter. It is the aether which is displaced outward relative to the
plane of the angular momentum which exerts force toward the center of
the Milky Way. This forced the matter closer together which resulted in
the displaced aether looking like a squished beach ball.
Aether displacement explains how the Milky Way was created and the disk
and halo formed.

Here's how it is with aether:
"We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true
and sufficient to explain their appearances.
To this purpose the philosophers say that Nature does nothing in vain, and
more is in vain when less will serve; for Nature is pleased with simplicity,
and affects not the pomp of superfluous causes." -- Sir Isaac Newton,

Since electro-magnetic radiation doesn't need any aether explain it, your
opinion is just another brain-fart.
Of course being fucking stupid you wouldn't understand the explanation,
but do tell us why an electron beam in a CRT or an ordinary compass
needle needs aether anyway.
You won't, of course. You are one more shaman glorying in your
pathetic mysticism.
I must have missed your post where you explain how the Milky Way disk
and halo formed in a non-aether theory.
Aether physically occupies three dimensional space. Aether is physically
displaced by matter. Aether displaced by matter exerts force toward the
matter.
The matter which would form the Milky Way was moving as it displaced the
aether. The aether displaced perpendicular to the major direction of
motion became the majority force of the displaced aether and forced the
matter into the disk. This resulted in the angular momentum of the
matter. It is the aether which is displaced outward relative to the
plane of the angular momentum which exerts force toward the center of
the Milky Way. This forced the matter closer together which resulted in
the displaced aether looking like a squished beach ball.
Aether displacement explains how the Milky Way was created and how the
Why, yes, yes, it does. So you choose to say, "OK, then I'd rather not
call it 'space' then. Let's call it aether." Scientists will say that
calling it by a different name changes nothing. It might as well be just
called space and say that space has those properties.

It's not nothing if it has properties, right?
But perhaps you are saying that by 'nothing' you mean "no matter there'.
In which case, what you are really claiming is that ONLY matter can have
physical properties. But that's just a bald assertion without basis, and
physicists do not believe that.
> This is all tail-chasing

Empty means devoid of matter, not devoid of properties. Space without
matter in it still has properties.
