No they are not. Ether as used by physics in the late 19th century
had nothing to do with quantum foam. Particularly since QM wasn't
developed until the 20's.
Of course it has nothing to do with the ether in the 19th century. At
that time, they thought is was static, while ether is dynamic.
"Ether" was an expression used to identify the medium through which
electromagnetic waves propagated. I don't see that has much connection
to the vacuum energy.
The vacuum energy is equivalent to the kinematic energy of etherons.

I prefer not to treat experts in GR as dimwits. If there was any mass
generation
mechanism that could significantly increase the earth's mass over
time, Volovik would
have said so.
I doubt he's looking for such a mechanism. But he would certainly look
for it if he knew about global expansion tectonic.
