Admit it - you have no idea what you are talking about. GR does not involve
an the normal conception of an aether which as a minimum is supposed to
define a preferred frame in the SR limit - GR does not do that. However
theories exist that do eg see GLET http://www.ilja-schmelzer.de/GET/. What
Einstein did in that lecture is put forward the possibility of viewing what
physicists had previously thought of as an aether differently in the hope it
may be of some value for future progress. We now know it was a dead end.
That lecture has been eluded to so many times on sci.physics.relativity you
would think people would be sick of it by now.
