While I don't believe that luminiferous aether exists, I found it interesting that Einstein used the term "new aether." See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether#End_of_aether.3F

 

I don't have a mathematical proof of Aether at the moment, but the entire Electromagnetics Theory makes more sense and is more understandable with the existence of aether. I think of it as the fabric of the Universe.

What is waving when an electromagnetic wave propagates? I can't explain the waves in water if I say water doesn't exist.

Aether is a fabric, some sort of energy ocean, which responses to charged particles, electric fields (pressures in aether) and magnetic fields (vortices in aether).

That you do not understand a universe outside the presence of an ether is not proof that ether exists.

Please take a short time to study Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (very easy!). This will prove to you that not only does ether not exist, but that it cannot exist.

But as soon as you claim that there is an aether and that it is the medium or propagation for electromagnetic waves, then you are stuck with this aether being the medium of propagation for electromagnetic waves and, hence, an absolute reference frame. Yet experiment after experiment after experiment has established that there is no such reference frame. Thus the entire electromagnetics theory based upon an aether may make all the sense in the world to you, but it is at complete odds with reality.

Which brings us right back to invoking the genie in the bottle -- both are equally plausible and valid explanations.

I prefer alternative spirits in bottles .

 

and you cant explain the waves in water if water has no mass. mass equals weight, aether has never been found to have mass. that was proved a long time ago.

Aether as in space-time. Curved space-time can modify matter and energy.

We may still use the word ether, but only to express the physical properties of space. The word ether has changed its meaning many times in the development of science. At the moment, it no longer stands for a medium built up of particles. Its story, by no means finished, is continued by the relativity theory.
...
,,Physical space and ether are only different terms for the same thing; fields are physical states of space.

In his relativity theory space-time is presented as entity with physical properties.

 

Dark matter is the new aether.

 

aether is like using the water hose analougy to explain current flow. a nice simile, but not actual. for instance, does electric current flow leave electrons on the conductor like water "wets" the hose? something to help students understand current flow, but nor real.

Careful, @alfacliff. Stated this way implies the existence of massless ether. This will encourage the OP.
