In physics the Einstein-aether theory, also called aetheory, is the name coined in 2004 for a modification of general relativity that has a preferred reference...

In the history of physics, aether theories (also known as ether theories) propose the existence of a medium, a space-filling substance or field as a transmission...

ether theory (LET) has its roots in Hendrik Lorentz's "theory of electrons", which marked the end of the development of the classical aether theories at...
