Like Horava’s theory, Einstein-aether theory breaks Lorentz invariance and may lead to a viable mechanism for producing gravitons.

Gravitons??

There are at least three elephant-in-the-living-room kinds of problems with what Einstein's ideas about gravity. One is that Einstein claimed that information could not be transmitted faster than C in the universe while we know that gravity or at least the FORCE of gravity propagates instantaneously to within our ability to measure. Two is that there is no way to start with Einstein's description of gravity as some sort of a four-dimensional differential geometry thing, and believe it could have ever changed much near the surface of our own planet; nonetheless it is an easy demonstration that it has, and that the super animals of past ages would be crushed by their own weight in our present world and could not live here. Three is that likewise, there is no way to believe the Podkletnov experiment ever could have worked in an Einsteinian world, or that the ESA could have reproduced that experiment under controlled conditions in 06, but we know that they did.

The one version of a theory of gravity which is basically comfortable with all of those things and in fact predicts them, is Ralph Sansbury's theory which is based on sub-electron particles and electrostatic dipoles created by them. Moreover, that theory is based on actual experiments and not "Thought Experiments(TM)".
