Aether (also spelled ether) is a philosophic and scientific concept denoting the existence of a fine substance (ponderable or imponderable) underlying the entirety of natural reality.

light exhibited wave properties, the waves had to travel in a "signal-carrying medium" (just as waves of sound or waves in water require a molecular medium). However, the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment forced (from 1887 onwards) the demise of all Classic Static Aether models. Classical theories of the Aether that yesteryear were dominant (the old cannon of Official Science) have retained a certain currency to this day (they are very popular in the fringes of physics), particularly in their Aether-drag variants (eg. Dayton Miller). Lorentz's mathematical transformations and invariance - later adopted by Relativity to the exclusion of an Aether - were enunciated so as to preserve the stationary Aether hypothesis.
The Death of the Classical Aether and the rise of the Field Concept
The failure to detect the motion of the Earth through the Aether called the classical concept of the Aether into question, and it was for the first time formally dispensed with in Albert Einstein's theory of Special Relativity. The demise of the classical Aether was equally due to the rise of the field concept - from Faraday, through Maxwell to Einstein and Quantum-Dynamics. Space now becomes treated as a given, and as being permeated by fields present and propagating even in the vacuum devoid of ordinary matter. The fields may be electromagnetic, gravitational or supermassive, and more recently have been belabored as a "quantum foam", a "space-foam", a Zero-Point Field (ZPF) or the Dark Energy of the missing Higgs particles.

Aetherometry
Since 1999, Dr. Paulo Correa and Alexandra Correa have proposed an immanentist-monist model of an imponderable dynamic Aether. This model defines the Aether as primary massfree energy (Dark Massfree Energy) in electric (ambipolar) and nonelectric (latent heat) forms. Massfree energy also exists in secondary (eg gravitons, kinetons) and tertiary (eg photons) forms affected by matter, and no theory of a dynamic Aether can be complete without accounting for these massfree energy forms, or without providing a model for the creation of mass-energy from Aether energy processes. Experimentally, the Correas have demonstrated the existence of Reich's orgone and dorgone energies, and quantitatively identified them as contiguous subspectra of ambipolar (electric) massfree energy. One of the fundamental characteristics of aetherometric theory is that light waves are not waves that transmit light, anymore than waves need to ride or require a medium. It is the medium or media that are already composed of waves, already undulatory; and what transmits the stimulus of light is not light or electromagnetic waves, but precisely the Tesla radiation (or Orgone), the ambipolar radiation through its longitudinal waves. Aetherometry clarifies therefore the relationship between transmission of the light stimulus and a local generation of all blackbody photons that was once suggested by Einstein himself. Light waves are local and solidary with the photon particles, in full agreement with classical QuantumMechanics, and without need to resort to relativistic transformations.

Critical Discussion
There is an abundance of noncritical theories of the Aether. Some are enunciated by followers of N. Tesla that failed to realize how Tesla's view of the electric Aether was not compatible with the classical stationary Aether; others are enunciated by followers of W. Reich who tried to marry the latter's theory of orgone with Miller's neoclassical theory of Aether drag (eg J. DeMeo; for a critique, see http://aetherometry.com/miller.html ), and have erroneously claimed the resulting hybrid as a model of the dynamic Aether; others, still, take recourse to outright plagiarism of Aetherometry without any real understanding of the functionalist microphysics and thus with a consequent plethora of errors and delusions (see http://www.quantumaetherdynamics.com/aether.html ).
