What is Aether? A history of the debate about the substance of the universe by Jeff Yee.

Space is considered by scientists to be empty but for many centuries it was believed to contain a material known as the #aether - a medium for transporting waves such as #light and #gravity.

One experiment in 1887 changed everything. Today, it is believed that the aether does not exist. Have we been misled by an experiment that failed to detect the aether? How else can we explain the interactions of waves that travel the universe if there is nothing that allows it to "wave" in empty space?
