I am very sorry I was away and not able to participate in the thread.
I am sorry it needed to be locked I did not post what I felt was a contraversial matter so I was surprised reading the thread.
So many considered and deep replies I found understanding what was going down beyond me.
My point was really not that the aether should be re enlisted to carry electromagnetic fields (althyough I do like that idea;):lol::lol::lol:) but that maybe a recognition that the Greeks insite although a little off to some views is being proved somewhat correct.
I linked in that post to yet another discovery that raises the numbers it seems on the particles we can expect to find in space or as most see it in "nothing".
When I try and imagine all that may be found flying thru the remotest part of space I find it hard to descride that "nothing" as something other than the general description the Greeks seemed to seek to describe.
I can understand those who would say aether is "out" and there is no more to it on the strict line, however it does seem in view of the growing list (well the list should be complete via the big bang but we certainly are finding what I guess we knew must be there from big bang dictates)..when one considers a list of the particles flying about it seems difficult not to admit that perhaps throwing out the aether was a little hasty...if it rubbs the wrong way for some aspects of physics that is another matter... that is a matter of adjustment I would think but to say there is no aether does not seem correct.
The remotest part of space must hold all the activity I would call aether.
