A non discovery making headlines. :)

Probably the most famous non-discovery in modern science was the Michelson Morley experiment, which was supposed to detect the presence of the "ether." They discovered nothing.... and from that finding, Einstein formulated his theory of Special Relativity.

Yes. The concept of ether isn't completely dead though. It might have to be revived if (when) the realization that gravity, being a function of space-time, cannot be quantified along the lines of physical theory sets in. Not in the classical sense of course but vacuum pressure is real and eases some of the inconsistencies in modern models such as expansion and gravity as a monopole. Not going to see the discovery of a graviton in my lifetime. Just my opinion.
