Without it, the "attractive" and "repulsive" components of atomic
particles, would not, could not, exist. It is only because of ether
serving as a medium for all the electric and magnetic
"communications between these atomic particles, the nucleus,
electrons, photons, etc., etc. that matter is able to form itself
into the organized units it does, to hold these shapes, and to
exhibit the properties it does.

You have backwards, it is NOT the matter which has the greater
importance and you can ignore the ether, it is just the fact that
NOTHING would exist as it does without this ether ...

What an idiot and an outright imbecilic slob! For awhile I wondered,
but obviously, you are the MOST stupid here!

You know, John...in the 18th century, this thinking would be
considered visionary.

But today, with General Relativity, String Theory, and a pretty
good running start at a Grand Unified Theory, it's a little behind
the times. Like Newtonian mechanics. Good for it's time. But in a
universe of speeds that may be expressed as an appreciable fraction
of C, not really all that precise. As described by Lorenz. And
demonstrated at Princeton.

The theory of ether was rather undone by Michelson and Morely in
1887, when they devised an experiment to detect the ether wind with
negative results.

The notion of a universally distributed inter-matter substance
called ether has been replaced with the thinking that aether is a
property of space, which Einstein demostrated through General
Relativity was not only subject to bending, distortion and
curvature, but was also finite without edge, curving back on itself,
not unlike a Moebius band. Creating a universe in which travel in a
single direction of sufficient duration will result in a return to
the origin. Put another way, if you had a telescope large enough, if
you looked in any direction long enough, eventually, you'd see the
back of your own head.
