If there is no charged aether, where does the "quantized field in a
vacuum" come from? From Wikipedia: "In quantum field theory, the
Casimir effect and the Casimir-Polder force are physical forces
arising from a quantized field. The typical example is of two
uncharged metallic plates in a vacuum, ..."

i am referring to a theory from around 1880 that had a sea of

electrons as the aether for propagating electromagnetic waves.

It is from 1846:http://www.padrak.com/ine/FARADAY1.htmlFaraday wrote:

"I suppose we may compare together the matter of the aether and ordinary
matter (as, for instance, the copper of the wire through which the
electricity is conducted), and consider them as alike in their essential
constitution; i.e. either as both composed of little nuclei, considered in
the abstract as matter, and of force or power associated with these
nuclei."

Aether and a sea of electrons (as the rare plasma) is not the same.The
other
scientists needs a mystery aether where a strain, stress and flows take
place. Faradays electrons vibrate.

sorry, 1846, even older than i thought... aether, sea of electrons,
rare plasma, none are necessary for electromagnetic waves.

EM are a paper waves. Real radio waves need a medium.
