Michelson-Morley experiment failed to substantiate the existence of ether. That was 1887. Much after that, in 1905, Einstein's special theory of relativity stated you don't need ether and any medium for light to travel, as long as one abandons the idea of absolute time.
The comment by Mordehai Milgrom, " the emperor has no clothes, that dark matter is our generation’s ether." rings true to me. So far no dark matter has been found by LHC.
They used to say 95% of the universe was dark matter. Now they say 68% is dark energy and 27% dark matter. Still only 5% normal matter. Could it be that there is 100% normal matter, 95% of which are transient and temporal in vacuum? If we were to follow Milgrom, and not invent substances, it seems plausible that we still have more math work to do.
