Without the ether a photon would certainly be "hindered". :-)
How many photons have you ever known to leave the universe?

space without ether is unthinkable." Albert Einstein

By the way, do black holes swallow ether which passes beyong the event
horizon of a black hole? That doesn't make sense since light *enters*
the black holes due to high force. Then the ether must remain intact
on both sides of the event horizon. Might Einstein have been talking
about the ether of being the FORCE of gravity itself (in our point of
reference), which would be an abstract ether, not a physical one?
