If empty space were filled with a "sea of electrons", their combined
massive gravity would have an observable effect but actual gravity
calculations prove that the "sea of electrons" cannot exist. You are
correct about there being a medium through which EM waves flow, but it is
impossible for it to consist of any form of known visible matter. Exactly
what it consists of is still a mystery.

All physisists (not teachers) are opinion that in space is enough matter to
propagate the electric waves.

If empty space were filled with electrons,

In "empty space" is ISM (interstellar medium = ions, electrons and dust)

we would be able to measure the drag caused by the electrons. Any known
particle of matter with a rest mass would cause a drag on movement of
matter through it.

Michelson discovered in 1887 and 1925 that ISM rotate with the Sun and do
not rotate with the Earth.
Meteorologists know that above the equator is steady wind caused by ISM.
In the rest of the globe the winds are caused by many factors.

You remind me of the story of the man who is looking under the street light
for his lost keys even though he lost them a block away. His explanation
was, "I'm looking for my keys here because the light is better."

But the all of you are "the infinite sink" of the real information for me.
Not all Amateur radio operators are teachers.
Faraday and Marconi did not go to schools.
