The rock is still creating a disturbance in the aether, just like the Earth creates a gravity (i.e. aether) wave.

But the "gravity" is in the wrong direction!

What are you talking about? The gravity wave the Earth creates in the aether? It's a wave that is propagating outward away from the Earth. Exactly like the wave the particle creates in the aether in a double slit experiment. Or are you talking about the rock? What happens when you throw the rock into a body of water? The rock disturbs the water in the direction it is traveling. The water back fills where the rock was. The rock continues to go deeper into the body of water because the water above the rock and the air above that and the displaced aether above that are all pushing the rock to the bottom of the body of water as the water, air, and aether attempt to return to a state of rest.

What about a ping-pong ball thrown into a body of water. According to you, the water back fills where the ping-pong ball was. The ping-pong ball continues to go deeper into the body of water because the water above the ping-pong ball and the air above that and the displaced aether above that are all pushing the ping-pong ball to the bottom of the body of water as the water, air, and aether attempt to return to a state of rest.

Yes, they are all attempting to return to a state of rest, including the water displaced by the ping pong ball. Since the ping pong ball contains less mass per volume (i.e. the ping pong ball contains more aether) the aether entrained by the water molecules will return to more of a state of rest than the aether entrained in the ping pong ball and the ping pong ball will rise. |
