Aether theories - Theories and experiments

In natural philosophy, aether (a.k.a. "ether") might be considered "the stuff of space", or "the medium" (lit: "that which is between") that carries signals between objects separated by vacuum. "The aether" was sometimes considered to be "the fifth element" (see: "quintessence"), in addition to Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Although it is tempting to talk about "the aether", a number of fairly different theories have been presented over the years that assign "the aether" different properties. When someone talks about proving or d ...

During the 19th century, a large number of aether theories were produced, with slightly different combinations of absoluteness or relativeness, different degrees of dragging, and different rules for how matter should interact with light. The number of competing theories made keeping track of all the different predictions rather difficult. As with string theory today, there seemed to be too many options, and with the right choice of theory and choice od coefficient values, it seemed that one could predict almost any conceivable result, and as ...
