Of course, he was correct. Empty space has been
proved not to be empty and certainly appears to
have a structure with particles winking in and
out of existence. The physicists were correct
about the existence of the medium (ether) but they
made incorrect assumptions about its nature. It was
a mistake to assume the ether didn't exist just
because its nature was different than expected.

Of course, the ether has not yet been seen, and the unseen is difficult
to prove and accept...
