I would not be surprised within 15 years some physicist revives the supposedly discarded theory of aether and comes up with a totally new theory of physics that overthrows everything we've known since the 1600's.

"I would not be surprised within 15 years some physicist revives the supposedly discarded theory of aether"

Most people don't know about the ether/aether theory, but every time I read a story about dark matter or dark energy I chuckle a little bit to myself.

"Look, I just proved that light travels in waves."
"But waves need some sort of medium to travel though."
"ummm, right.......... I know, the universe is filled with something that you can't see or detect called.......aether. Yeah, that's the ticket!"


So you may be right. My invisible friend agrees.
