This doesn't affect your ether proposal in any significant way, though. The real problem with your ether proposal is that it is not sufficiently quantitative and precise for anyone to reliably test. Until such time as it is in good enough shape to be compared against experiment and established physical theory, don't expect much excitement on the part of working physicists.
