Bring the aether back!

    Yes.

    One for you:

    Notice how the return announcement on TV doesn't say:

    "We now return your television set to its normal operant condition."

    Rather, the announcement is more along the lines of:

    "We now return YOU to YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING."

    Why is that?

    I've always been fond of the interstitial aether, but phologiston theory seemed to contradict.

    "The Aether" as a medium for the propagation of light waves was a popular 19th Century idea. Fell into disfavor, to the point A.Einstein rewrote Maxwell's equations as the special theory of relativity without referring to the aether at all.
    We've about gone full swing of the theoretical pendulum with dark matter & dark energy hypothesis.

    Everything old is new again.

    I'm waiting for the Copernicus heliocentric theory of the universe to come back. I mean, there are definitely still people that believe in the 'crystal bowl' theory of the Heavens, so why not that one. I mean, Copernicus was a very respected scientist.

    And the Spanish Inquisition was respected, or feared for at least two reasons. No! Three! If you were a forward thinking individual at the time, keeping certain ideas to yourself was life extending.
    Now days Tide Pods are a thing.

    Tide Pods have always been a thing. Dolphins are frequently part of them. Helps them catch fish :)

    The Fifth Element. Maybe those Greeks were on to something.
    Aether was also used to explain gravitation, kinda like dark matter is used today to explain an increasing rate of cosmic expansion.
