Yes, I understand the difference you are referring to, however, aether
drag is the theory aether is dragged due to its proximity to matter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aether_drag_hypothesis

"According to the aether drag hypothesis light propagates in a special
medium, the aether, that remains attached to things as they move. If
this is the case then, no matter how fast the earth moves around the
sun or rotates on its axis, light on the surface of the earth would
travel at a constant velocity relative to the surface of the earth."

waht is wrong with "matter is dysplaced
by matter" et cetera?... of course,
there are no virtual photons, since
there are no photons, at al. (see Young
and his two-hole write-up ... or, pretend that
the Nobel, for the photo-electrical "effect,"
unburies Newton's corpuscle.)

> Aether is displaced by matter.
> Displacement creates pressure.

thus:
now, not only can we easily aver that "that Shakespeare
wrote that Shakespeare," but we can also wonder
about his death at fifty-three, after dining
with a convicted killer, Ben Johnson. anyway, if
you really want to get into WS's politics,
find the cover-article *Campaigner* magazine,
"Why the British Hate Shakespeare" -- if you can,
at http://www.wlym.com/drupal/campaigners.

thus:
the whole *problem* is the diagramming,
which is just a 2D phase-space, and cartooned
into a "2+1" phase-space with "pants," sketched
on paper. you simply do not need the pants,
the lightcones they're made with, and
the paradoxes of "looping in time" because
of a silly diagram, wherein "time becomes comensurate
with space" saith-Minkowski-then-he-died.

quaternions are noncommutative, not nonassociative,
per rotations, as is easily demonstrated with a globe; if
biquaternions are like octonions (a la "Cayley-
Dickerson construction"), they're (tri-wise?) nonassociative.

as for capNtrade, if Waxman's bill passes,
you won't be able to do *any* physics,
that isn't "junkyard physics."

thus:
so, if aether has mass, then it must
be detectable. but, why on Earth do you insist
that energy cannot flow through matter,
as light waves through air?

in your alleged model,
how does light travel through air
vis-a-vu the aether (that is, supposedly,
created whem "mass is converted-or-not
to energy") ??

it seems that you are arguing
in increasingly smaller circles.

> The products retain the original mass

> Light waves propagate through the aether.

thus:
you are assuming that "gravitons" "go faster"
than "photons," which is three things that have
never been seen. Young proved that all properties
of light is wave-ish, save for the yet-to-fbe-ound photo-
electrical effect, the instrumental artifact that save Newton's balls
o'light for British academe. well, even if
any large thing could be accelerated to so close
to teh speed of light-propagation (which used to be known
as "retarded," since being found not instantaneous) is "space"
-- which is no-where "a" vacuum --
it'd create a shockwave of any light that it was emmitting,
per Gauss's hydrodynamic shockwaves (and, after all,
this is all in the field of "magnetohydrodynamics,"
not "vacuum energy dynamics").

what ever it says, Shapiro's last book is just a polemic;
his real "proof" is _1599_;
the fans of de Vere are hopelessly stuck-up --

As I just replied, there is no such thing as gravitons. I will stop
responding to your posts, which are difficult, if not impossible to
decipher, as long as you 'assume' something that is completely
inaccurate.

Dear PD, the Parasite Dunce: Your denseness makes you incapable of
understanding that NO force is required to cause an object to COAST.
The velocity of a falling object at the end of second one COASTS all
the way through till the object strikes the ground. The velocity at
the end of second two does the same thing, and etc. The INCREASE in
velocity per second is uniform (as you agreed two replies back). It
is the COASTING carry-over velocity which causes the shape of the free-
drop curve (distance vs. time) to be a parabola.

In spite of what you suppose some G. D. formula says, there can be NO
work performed unless there is a resisting force! And since you
suppose that the work done is increasing semi-parabolically (as would
match KE = 1/2mv^2), then, the resisting FORCE must be increasing semi-
parabolically, too. However, the only force countering the force of
gravity is the INERTIA of the object dropped, and that never changes!
The CORRECT formula for the kinetic energy of dropped objects is: KE =
a/g (m) + v / 32.174 (m). And that formula increases LINEARLY, not
parabolically. Both Coriolis and Einstein were wrong to think that a
linear input of energy (velocity) will produce an exponential increase
in KE. Doing so violated the Law of the Conservation of Energy.

So, the readers will know: PD, the Parasite Dunce has never made a
