Dear Dave, This is almost beyond me but your analogy with a ship moving through the sea is easy to understand. Are you suggesting that the aether is acting like a jelly and that any gravitational effect close to a body or mass is gradually dissipated through some kind of 'slip' taking place in the aether?

It is/could be possible to explain/describe a localized only gravitational effect who's ultimate cause is still "universal"... In this way there would be no need to through out instantaneous action at a distance or deep space travel or inertia as classically defined.(how it is described not explained)
