??? (attention - I suspect a communication problem. Could be either of us, or both.)

So, is elysium entrained statically or dynamically by planet and star sized masses?
If dynamically, why do we not detect the elysium wind that must result? Real length contraction in the MMX apparatus, perhaps?
If statically, to what altitude are individual elysons attached to and move with each mass?
If statically to an altitude of at least 0.5 AU for my example of M and m in a great void there must be a boundary zone where one mass of elysons is moving relative to the other mass of elysons (like the analogy that I mentioned in my open post - a vortex ring moving through the stationary air molecules in my living room.). Might this result in phenomena that are detectable to us at this time? Might we already have data that supports or refutes such a boundary zone.

Don - The issue I'm trying to resolve is related more to the bulk behavior of elysium near large masses than to the properties or composition of individual elysons. Like I said earlier, the composition of elysons will probably need to be comprehended before a complete answer to the question of entrainment can be had, but for now I want to keep the focus well above the quantum and sub-quantum scales.
You lean toward dynamic entrainment, I lean toward static entrainment. IMO, our inability to detect an elysium wind rules out dynamic entrainment. This is an existing experimental result that must be accounted for in any attempt to decide between dynamic and static entrainment.
