Hi Tim;
Your analogy is good. The mathematics that Hawking proposed indicate he visualized an assortment of particles at different energy states; this would translate to different distributions of absolute motion for different quantum units of matter; some may evolve to form basic particles whereas others may not have enough uniform motion and thus disintegrate to Aether interference patterns. Any quantum unit that loses all its angular momentum will convert and become part of the Aether vibrations. We would probably detect this as some pulse of EM radiation produced by the conversion.
