 Harry, a big hole in mainstream Physics is to argue that the aether
must be a solid because light produces transversal forces. (I agree
that AFAIK only a solid can propagate *standard transversal waves* but
this is not important once it is understood that light waves are not
standard transversal waves).

This is the abstract of a section of the "EVE model of the aether":
----------------
It has often been argued that if the aether is the medium for the
transmission of electromagnetic waves it must have the mechanical
properties of rigid solids since only then it could be able to sustain
transversal waves that are the basis to explain the polarization of
such waves. It is here argued that an aether of aetherinos (that has
more in common with a rarefied gas than with a solid) is also able to
exert transversal forces and to implement the polarization of
electromagnetic waves. An aetherino travelling from an emitter E to a
detector R along the straight line E-R imparts an impulse i to the
detector. This impulse will also have a component perpendicular to E-R
if the elementary detector (i.e. an electron of the detector) is
itself moving with a non zero component of its velocity perpendicular
to E-R. It is here argued that in this model of the aether this
transversal impulse is not trivial since it has the following two
characteristics:   1) The transversal impulses suffered by an
elementary detector from a flow of aetherinos modulated in such a way
that the density of aetherinos in the flow is periodically smaller and
bigger than that of the standard undisturbed aether, will alternately
(with the same periodicity of the aetherino's flow)  increase and
decrease the transversal velocity of the target electron. 2) Such
resonance will be favoured if the transversal direction is coincident
with the preferred direction in which the charges of the emitter
oscillate because it is along such direction that the density gradient
of aetherinos manifests itself at the detector.

I also hope that this post does not stump on anyone's toes. It is
intended to be helpful.
