I think I'll address this comment, as it appears to stem from a
misunderstanding of a point I made. I said that the Markov-type
aether resists changes in velocity. I didn't say that such aethers
forbid changes in velocity. The constant of proportionality that
determines this resistance to change is well known -- you can see it
in the equation F = ma. The extent to which "their velocities are
constantly changing" satisfies, and does not defy, my contention. I
assumed that I didn't need to explicitly state this anymore than I
already had when I said that the Newtonian dynamics were preserved.
"Uniform rectilinear motion" is, in fact, preserved "unless acted on
by another force," which we can take in the widest possible sense to
include collisions, gravitation, magnetic force, etc. The point is
that the Markov aether does not give rise to any kinematic
predictions that differ from what we currently observe. In other
words, it is fully consistent with observation. There are no
observations that contradict or undermine it, least of all the
circumstance that celestial objects don't exhibit uniform rectilinear
motion.
