As to eather..however it is spelt?...
I find it strange that given the regular new findings of various particles..nuetrinos alone could fit the bill of eather...and of course they are not the only candidates...
I feel some science is guided by fashion and I detect the fashion was to get rid of the old Greek thinking... eather was tossed..but the atomists continued..which offers some authority that some of their thinking openned doors to a greater wider truth..
So fashion removes the eather/.. loyalist will point to the Morely experiment.. but how does this answer the nuetrino abundance and stll say ..there is no eather...
I know this is a contentious matter.. but I think its time for fashion to make a move to perhaps idenify space as containing stuff..lots of stuff... billions upon billions of particles..all of which I feel rasonably be grouped to be called "space" (a no longer "empty" medium) or indeed..eather..the group of the billions of particles we now recognise as being there in abundance.
I like the eather because I feel it will provide the particle pressure required by a push gravity approach...
Why do galaxies hold together...dark matter we currently believe... is dark matter or dark energy a candidate for the eather??? but it is clear that dark energy acts as an external pushing force as a galaxy can not be bound simply by internal forces of attraction.. the distances prevent sensible relays of gravity messages...they are limited to the speed of light and thereofre take over one hundred thousand years for actions to be noticed on the other side of the gallaxy....an external force will work an intrnal force will not...or so I believe...
Sorry for the unsolicited rambling
