Perhaps it's just that a small wave like light, is like a guitar at the highest, the wave is fast without high density a low pitched wire has. The balance of the opposite charges that Maxwell used the constant force density to predict the constant speed of light with allows more for relative change so the pressure would be more balanced like the air around us, it weighs tons but because it's balanced on all sides it's easy to move through. And the voltage of the air is about 200 volts but it too is based on relative change. While almost no one believed in air other than the breath of the gods in ancient ages, it's measurable by how much pressure it exerts. I think if it exists the pressure of the ether is not huge, it's just the pressure of resistance a rocket's exaust encounters with accleration and with how much ease it moves on the other side through the field. This is a more comfortable density for the ether, comparable to the density air has, because it doesn't take much more rocket exaust to than jet exaust to move a starship or airplane.
The distance between here and a star is the same for the most part, I think of distance of this type as a sort of balance between the disconnectivity of electromagnetsim by the slow speed of light and the attraction by gravity, these are the only two forces present at the greater distance scales, if one or the other were more or less the distance between us and the stars would change. Einstein believed in empty space time, so with no medium between here and a near star or between here and a more distant star it would take the same time to travel to both stars, or no time at all with no field to plough through. The assumption of a resilient field like the ghost theory explains this while Einstein's explanation is insufficient here too.
What is the Ether Made of In My Explanation, General Wave Dynamics (GWD)?
Low energy particles like the Higg's (a most or more elementary particle predicted by Higgs 40 years ago) most physicists believe exist. These would flow in the earth continually exerting pressure on us and causing gravity, much like a boat at anchor in a river feels pressure, but if it's flowing with the field so it feels no force. This is the belief of the ghost particle explanation, which has the particles of 0 mass, I don't believe in the "ghosts" of this type as much as some physicists because they would have internal attraction and inertia to exert external pressure on us downward to cause gravity or expansion of centrifugal force. They would need to have mass to exert pressure, but with a comparable pressure to air pressure, if they actively attract, gravity would be much stronger. So in my physics the attraction would be caused by a much lower density field that would flow between the ghostly field, smoothing and imploding it so it would flow without loss of power and with energy conserved.
Wouldn't the earth put on weight with the inflow of the particles of this field (even if moderate density)?
Since to have the earth not gain weight, the particles would have to both flow in and out somehow, and if they cause gravity by pressure, it would seem they would cause antigravity by the outward pressure. Just as the earth or the sun has gravity in at one wavelength and heat out at another without overall expansion, the particles may flow in as more as mass and out as more energy, so this is no objection to the ghost theory. If we can't measure the field because it's too low in energy with our physics of the early 2000s (although it's been seen by the Lamb Shift for hydrogen in a more roundabout way, and other events like induction) the inflow would be as possible as the outflow, and energy exerts less pressure on mass as it expands. The ghost particles must have mass to exert pressure of gravity and centrifugal force and so the earth would put on weight if there was no outflow.
Another possible way out one can see for the ghost explanation would seem to be that it was so efficient at conversion (with gravity's lack of shielding and so on) all the inflow's mass would be converted to just the usual thermodynamic heat the earth radiates out. While the small outflow of the earth's heat is small if the efficiency was high enough this wouldn't be impossible.
All this may be of worth because Maxwell's theory predicted the speed of light exactly, and Einstein just fit all his theory in the frame of the speed of light. With the wave particle duality, the wave explanation of light wasn't dead even in Einstein's time with all the large number of motifs it describes so well. Seems alive more often than usual, as you may see on this page because of paradoxes about the infinitely small with the elements that build up, waves being without the paradoxes, and gravity being more wavelike, I think waves are more important than particles in general and so are more fundamental. So a wave theory would be a more valid foundation of the cosmos and relativity derived from it.
Obviously the speed of the waves of light has been of import to special relativity, so waves would seem to be of more import to a more general theory of physics than Einstein's. My explanation I name General Wave Dynamicss or GWD, and because it uses an extension of Maxwell's already good idea of wave density being the main way to predict the speed of a force, Einstein's explanation can be derived from it and not vice versa. I hope to extend Maxwell's theory with more or less dense fields (the strong force and gravity, angular and linear, and the high and low density two plusses and two minuses so both speeds would be faster than light) via refinement of Chin's experiments with faster than light and the strong force, and the waves from jets of massive bodies which might move distant stars, almost instantaneously if gravity is much lighter than light so it's much faster than light. Both would offer definite proofs that would only be true if GWD is. I don't absolutely believe gravity would go at much faster than light, but I consider it more possible or probable than not, and the experiments would be easy to achieve with modulation of cheap existant machines, so I think it's worth a try. See My Physics Synopses page about my conclusions vis a vis the possible Speed of Gravity and The Speed of The Strong Force for more.

"On Nov. 7, a 901-foot container ship, the Cosco Busan sideswiped the shore gashing its hull and dumping 58,000 gallons of sludge-like bunker fuel. It was the worst oil spill in years and closed fishing for more than three weeks; authorities lifted the ban Thursday after determining eating fish caught in areas hit by the leak has no health risk."

Right, fish restuarants are rich in good oil, 0mega 3000!
