That's all well and good, but experiment agrees with Einstein, not with your picture. > Consider the > aether to be 'entrained' by the embankment in the embankment frame of > reference and for the aether to be 'entrained' by the train in the > train frame of reference. OK, but the train observer could well be sitting on top of the train out in the open air, right along with the air that is surrounding the embankment. So unless you've got overlapping aethers, one passing through the other, then there would have to be a boundary between the two moving masses of aether, where they are rubbing up against each other. And in that case, there would be a region of aether in between where it is moving somewhat in between what the two entrained aethers are moving. And then just by moving, say, the embankment observer a little closer to the train, or the train observer a little to one side, then you'd start seeing the effect of the aether moving at a speed somewhat in between. However, this is not observed in equivalent experiments. This is what I mean by following the implications of an idea all the way through to look for *uniquely distinguishing* predictions. I've just given an example of a clear implication of AD, one that would be testable. And unfortunately, it doesn't match experiment. So it's gotta be wrong. > > Where the light travels from is dependent on how the frame of > reference is interacting with the aether.

Nope, that doesn't match what happens in related experiments. Sorry.

'De Sitter double star experiment' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Sitter_double_star_experiment 'the "fast" light given off during approach would be able to catch up with and even overtake "slow" light emitted earlier during a recessional part of the star's orbit, and the star would present an image that was scrambled and out of sequence.' This is an oversimplification of what is occurring. The aether around each star is entrained by the star, so emitter theory is in effect close to the star. But the aether surrounding both stars acts as a singleton and the aether travels at 'c' through this aether. That is why the light from double stars is not scrambled. > > > > Where the light travels from is dependent on how the frame of > > reference is interacting with the aether.
