One of the most perplexing aurguements in the history of Physics is
the supposed existence of the *Aether.

It has been proven that "empty space" is indeed not empty and consists
of quantum particles that wink in and out of existence. Aether does
exist as a sort of quantum soup, just not in the limited form that was
earlier conceived in the past before quantum physics. The Casimir
effect is a manifestation of the quantum soup that exists in "empty
space". Some physicists think that's where the dark energy is hiding.

Whoa!You are talking apples and oranges. The two mediums discussed is
in actuality mass and particles where as it was considered as mass and
the Aether. I am certainly aware of the term quantum soup outside of
the Earths confines!
The two mediums of a radiator and particles is what provides for
ground wave and connected to
propagation. I don't think the scientists of the day were considering
propagation in outer space but I am willing to read any article that
supports your position
There are many positions and counter positions on the subject given by
most of the masters of the day.

you should really talk with mr.b... he likes those old time scientists
and the stuff they wrote before all the real experiments disproved
aether and magnetic vortices and all that other stuff that you seem to
love. *please write something new and funny about the magical
levitating diamagnetic neutrinos that explain how my ferromagnetic
antenna radiates.

Every time you put pen to paper it is painfully evident that you are
totally lacking in the subject of physics. A ferromagnetic antenna
will certainly radiate but it totally swamps the Meissner effect
common with diamagnetic materials. They certainly do not duplicate in
actions with respect to radiation.
Most hams build their antennas with diamagnetic materials like copper
and aluminum as they do not portray the hysteresis effect common with
ferromagnetic materials. As for diamagnetic materials that demonstrate
levitation you can buy these on E bay or at Edmonds scientific if you
have any doubts about their authenticity.
