Rather Einstein's SR shows the Aether is not *necessary* to explain

[..ALL atmospheric DENSiTY GRADiENT @ r is PROPORTiONAL to M1 mass..]

$$ STRANGE "working-fluid" .."curvature" OR "ambient"?
[SORT of, like concluding that an ENGiNE's BASE OiL is NOT "needed";]
[just BECAUSE the ANiMATiON does NOT "need" the SAME TYPE lubricant.]

So, i hope AMBiANCE isN'T too DEEP for ALL AMERiCANs to fathom, duh.

"The Aether was postulated to explain how light, which was known to
be a wave, could propagate through empty space."

$$ Any SPACE where a "wave" is CLEARLY is NOT FULLY empty.
Linguistically speaking, "through [ CLEARLY, OTHERwise ] empty space".
[But any SPACE where PROPAGATiON is CLEARLY *going on* ..isN'T empty].
[And any SPACE light PROPAGATiON is CLEARLY "going through", neither].

Quite correct but ...

"As shown by Maxwell's Equations, a light wave consisted of a cyclical
interchange of energy between orthogonal electromagnetic fields in a
plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation and was therefore a
shear wave."

It may help if you consider electromagnetic waves to be their own
medium. Electric component using the magnetic as its medium and vis
versa. -=- J.Baugh
