Back to scientific issues. Could I ask those of you who advocate an aether to supply your thinking as regards what effect the aether would have on material bodies (planets, satellites, gas molecules in the atmosphere, or whatever). I ask this because it seems to me that the aether cannot support (pun intended) the geosynchronous satellite. Neville. --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email.
