Stated another way – does the aether have mass or mass-equivalence (virtual 
mass or effective mass)? 

 

If so, and the EM drive is moving in aether, then leaving a wake (bow wave, 
eddy turbulence, kelvin wake, etc) also leaves a mass-equivalence.

Good argument.  I just wanted to add one thought.
