Abstract

The Lorentz contraction and other "relativistic" effects can be regarded as the phenomenology of a solid substratum. Particles of matter are modeled by the point defects (singularities) of this medium. Thus within the linear-elastic range no sign of the substratum, such as aether entrainment, can be detected experimentally.
