Great post @pimpnamedraypeat! Some fantastic quotes you gave. The ability of your post to synthesize these concepts into clarity made me pause. I am saving the link to this post and will share.Peat already discussed this
"I had been interested in N.A. Kozyrev's ideas about energy and time when I read Michael Polanyi's description of the actual Michaelson-Morley experiment, and Dayton Miller's subsequent years of measurement of the ether drift effect; the physics texts and courses of the time were simply lying about it, the way biology texts and courses lied about Darwin and Lamarck.
Some other important observations that I think connect local physics to astrophysics are: Dror Sadeh's experiments with a cesium clock on a truck synchronized with one at the bureau of standards; N.A. Kozyrev's planetary observations and experiments; Helmut Schulz's laser-crystal-electron beam experiments; Halton Arp's galaxy pictures. Frederick Soddy, long before anyone had measured the "cosmic background radiation" and presented it as proof of a Big Bang, had suggested that cosmic rays were newly born atoms, and predicted that microwave energy produced by these constantly renewing atoms would be detectable.
I see physics, since the quantum innovation, as a way of preserving the subjective idealism that was being challenged in other areas of culture. I.e., religious philosophy, blended with some engineering.

That the ether exists is a surety. If light is a wave what is vibrating? Vibrations in air and water travel in compression waves.
Vibrations in solid travel in shear waves, perpendicular to direction of propagation (like a snake).
And since the light waves vibrate perpendicular to the direction of propagation, that must mean that whatever is vibrating is solid....Or crystaline
From louis hissink:
S-Waves [shear waves] are periodic undulations in an elastic solid in which particle motion is at right angles to the direction of propagation. These waves cannot travel through gases or liquids.
Raleigh waves are surficial waves no deeper than one wavelength in the material, and are similar to S-Waves and occur on solids.
Ocean waves are presently interpreted as Raleigh Waves. Except that a Tsunami could hardly be described as a Raleigh Wave. And if water is a liquid a problem exists.
S-Waves are propagated via elastic media that is one physical object. So what’s going on with ocean waves.
Gerald Pollack has re-discovered that water exists in four physical phases, solid, liquid, gas and liquid crystal, the latter phase being colloquially described as EZ-Water or Exclusion Zone Water where protons and particulate matter are expelled by water in contact with hydrophilic boundary conditions. EZ water is contrasted from bulk water in that it has an ice-like molecular structure that behaves as an elastic liquid crustal. Bulk water has no crystalline structure and thus cannot propagate S-Waves.
There's a deep untapped connection between the liquid crystal gel research going on in biology and the plasma universe research going on in physics.
I believe the ether is a crystal which is why it can support the s-wave movement of light. The ether turns into visible 'ponderable' matter when perturbed by spinning vortices which deflect light and electromagnetic waves like a spinning dreidel
We are just standing waves in the ether
Phycisist nobel laureate Robert Laughlin has this to say on the supposed non existance of the ether
"It is ironic that Einstein's most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed [..] The word 'ether' has extremely negative connotations in theoretical physics because of its past association with opposition to relativity. This is unfortunate because, stripped of these connotations, it rather nicely captures the way most physicists actually think about the vacuum. . . . Relativity actually says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of matter pervading the universe, only that any such matter must have relativistic symmetry. [..] It turns out that such matter exists. About the time relativity was becoming accepted, studies of radioactivity began showing that the empty vacuum of space had spectroscopic structure similar to that of ordinary quantum solids and fluids. Subsequent studies with large particle accelerators have now led us to understand that space is more like a piece of window glass than ideal Newtonian emptiness. It is filled with 'stuff' that is normally transparent but can be made visible by hitting it sufficiently hard to knock out a part. The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether. But we do not call it this because it is taboo."Glass is a crystal is it not.
