So we can chalk up point D as un-resolved, as
it proves there is a rotation either of the earth or the aether, but
the inertial effect of a rotation nevertheless.
The planets rotate in the aether, and their
resultant bulge is true.
If I spin a model sphere on my table the
resultant bulge will be true.
The stationary earth alone is cut by the
rotating aether and the resulting bulge is true.
The geostationary satellite stationary over
my place is cut by the rotating aether, and will experience a
centrifugal force (bulge) neutralising gravity..
It is all relative. The motions are equally
relative. And this is of course true relativity, not the pseudo type
that Allen and we is laughin at.
Of course its conjecture! Most things
scientific are.. Paul insists on it being so.
That the apple was attracted down and hit Newtons
noggin is pure conjecture.. I can conject it was pushed down on to his
head by aether pressure.
conjecture (the forming of) a
guess about something based on how it seems and not on proof:
a presumption..

I'll give you point d) for free.
d) "No equatorial bulge on the Earth, as would be created in the early
rapidly
spinning molten Earth "theory". The equatorial bulge of Jupiter is
clearly seen."
Earth's Equatorial Bulge
The Earth has a polar radius of 6356.8km and a equatorial radius of
6378.1km
- the Earth is 21.3km larger at the equator than at the poles. I
believe that is an
equatorial bulge. The ellipticity is (Req-Rpl)/(Req+Rpl) = 0.00335.
Remember that the height differences between Mt Everest and the
Mariana trench
is about 8.8km + 10.9km = 19.7km so the 21.3km equatorial bulge is not
insignificant.
Comparison of planets of the Solar System

Mercury solid 0.0000 1407.6 0.003025
Venus solid 0.000 -5832.5 0.001811
Earth solid 0.00335 23.9345 0.465098
Mars solid 0.00648 24.6229 0.240731
Jupiter gas 0.06487 9.9250 12.571998

Uranus gas 0.02293 -17.24 2.587521
Neptune gas 0.01708 16.11 2.682888
Pluto solid 0.0000 -153.2928 0.013606
'Sid rot per' of that table, is the sidereal rotation period in
hours (length
of the day on that planet) and negative values means retrograde
rotation.
'Eq rot speed' is the rotational speed at the equator of the
planet, in km/s.
Fig 5. Ellipticity of the planets as function of their equatorial
rotation speed, v_eq. Gas giants are in
white and solid planets in cyan. Mercury, Venus and Pluto are all
bunched up at (0, 0), The dashed
lines shows average relations among the two groups. Obviously there is
a lot of scatter around these
lines which just means there are other factors at play than v_eq - it
should also be obvious, however,
that v_eq is the most important factor involved. The other major
factor, of course, is the acceleration
of gravity at the surface of the planet.. Higher surface gravity means
smaller ellipticity, since high
surface gravity would make the planet rounder. The planets below the
respective dashed lines do
indeed have higher surface gravities than those above.
Other reasons for differences between the Earth and Mars are:
1) The very large Moon means that the Earth has been able to loose
angular momentum (rotation) very
efficiently - 1000 times faster than Mars which is mostly affected
by the Sun (Phobos and Deimos
are just too small). So Mars is closer to its original rotation
speed than Earth is.
2) The Earth is 1.9 times larger (in diameter) which means it's volume
and heat content from the early
molten stage would have been 6.6 times larger. The surface from
which the planets cool would only
have been 3.5 times larger - all in all, the Earth would cool 1.9
times slower than Mars. That means
the Earth would have solidified only after a considerable slow-down
(it would have started higher
up on one of the dashed lines).
3) Earth seems to have had a collision with a Mars sized object about a
100 million years after the
Solar System formed, forming the Moon - this would have greatly
sped-up the Earth's rotation and
remolten at least the outer layers.
I realize most of you do not believe in things involving time-scales
past 6000 years, so there is no need
for you to point that out to me.
Conclusions
The Earth has an equatorial bulge commensurate with a rotation once per
day (see Fig. 5). This is no proof
of Earth having such a daily rotation, but do notice how all the
planets that rotate much slower than Earth
(Mercury, Venus and Pluto) have no measurable bulge.
