I agree that motion implies a spatial velocity where there is none but a Neo Lorentzian perspective allows the ether to exist 90 degrees displaced from 3D space just like time. Like time we can only detect dilation in the ether when measured relativsticly. This modified LET also explains why the Michaelson and Moreley experiment failed to detect any spatial bias because a 4th dimensional axis is equally displaced from each spatial axis. Time dilation occurs in a gravitational well and I posit the ether is "stretched" to keep our rods and rulers scaled to the environment. inhabitants in said "stretched" ether would be unaware of any time dilation regardless of how acute until a relative measurement can be afforded, when for instance, the accelerated Twin in the Twin Paradox returns to the same frame as the unaccelerated twin. Consider 3D space as a spatial plane representing the X axis while this "stationary" Ether exists on the same axis as time on the Y axis. One can argue whether time is isotropic because at the macro scale it has such a slow changing gradient as you increase velocity or enter a gravitational well and even then you must depend on relative measure to detect any changes. I am positing that at the quantum scale this gradual accumulation of a gravity well can be greatly amplified by EM supression due to Casimir geometry. See "Cavity QED"<http://th-www.if.uj.edu.pl/acta/vol27/pdf/v27p2409.pdf> by Zofia Bialynicka-Birula which proposes an abrupt break in isotropy between Casimir plates. Like a much larger gravitational mass the exterior of the Casimir plates opposes the intersection of this etheric Y axis with the spatial plane but unlike the macro example of a gravity well a Casimir amplified opposition can also be manipulated into accelerating the intersection rate when a tiny hole occurs to release some of this accumulated opposition into a tiny concentrated stream / venturi (like a small hole in a sail the wind whistles through faster than the ambient wind speed). This may explain why DiFiore et all were unable to accumulate any gravitational effects in their research using stacked cavities - the pressures are really just segregated outside vs inside and diffused vs concentrated. No asymetrical effects can be exploited using cavities alone and you need migrating gas atoms that have an affinity for one energy density/ pressure vs the other to exploit this segragation of force. Claims of change in radioactive decay rates when material is diffused in catalytic powders could also be based on this affinity . Most claims are of an appreciably accelerated decay rate but there are also a few claims of a modest delay in decay rate. This relativistic segregation by a Casimir cavity suggests the delayed decay is due to the weak opposition diffused over the exterior of the cavity and the accelerated decay is due to the lower energy density inside the cavity. The physical path and affinity of different gases to different surface geometries could explain which energy densities have the most effect on a particular radioactive material.
