Me in blue Planets, stars, the Sun and the Moon are all moving not only with but through the aether, yet the movements of the heavens are like clockwork. There is no slowing down of these objects. I think you you looking at this backwards...If you take a steel rod and force it through a orange you can do that........ but if every thing observed were equivalent to pushing a rod through a orange then there would be no way to distinguish this from anything else because that is/ would be the normal resistance to all mechanics observed. We could theorize about what the orange is made of and what the nature of the force we are using is but at the end of the day it would just be normal with no metric by which to evaluate that force . Now take that rod and put it in a drill and cause it to spin it will go through the orange a little more readily..only now do we a point of reference from which to establish any meaningful measure of the force required in our everyday mechanical exercise. You can measure the natural resistance because you would have nothing to measure its against however in the DePalumer and Aspden motor we can see that the addtiona of spin makes pathways though the aether and can be explained/ correlate to at least some ordinary fluid /hydro-dynamic process.....Take a spinning rod place it in a liquid and spin at high velocity then disconnect the rod such that the rod free floats,,now the rod will eventually come to a standstill but there is still a vortex of water that won?t have enough force to spin the rod but will enable less force to be use to get the rod spinning again...this is experimentally reproducible and easily understood..now as for the Moon and stars they are travailing with the aether why would there be any resistance to the aether such that it would cause them to slow down or act like anything other then Clock work ? If a fluid is spinning or in motion a object will travel with it now some objects are smaller and denser while others are more massive but just as in the case of any river if you observe all objects in it do not travel at the same speed but neither do they all come to a stop because of the resistance to the water...I think you are looking at it backwards.. The resistance is there for sure but what you measure is something that causes less resistance such as a spinning object in the river not some resistance to the river that will eventually cause the objects to come to a stop or slow down....the currents and wave forms in the river have far more force in them then the water in a stagnate pond...There is resistance in both the river water and pond water but the resistance can really only be observed and measured in terms of change in motion within the river or pond because tho objects in it are travailing with it. The only resistance that can be measured is the observed fact that some objects do move faster then others Moon sun stars.. .......However, even in a pond that is perfectly still a small boat will drift almost indefinitely if pushed until such time as some wave form created by its relative movement to the edge of the pond or some other object in the pond reflects back to eventually cause it to stop but the waves created by also allow it to resume with less force the initial force needed ..There is nothing new or different here......GRAVITY pushing waves! Furthermore, when I was associated with firing powerful lasers directly up through the atmosphere, I noticed no such tendency of light to deviate from its initial direction (other than random refraction of course). As for lasers they are disturbed in a measurable e-w direction way just as laser light is disturbed in a measurable way via a flowing river ( you can detect the direction of the river)but the direction of the beam itself is not altered if it originates in the water just as the direction of a beam is not altered in the aether.
