Aether is thought to be the underlying medium of the Universe, a non-material
energetic substructure so to speak that underlies and permeates all existence
of the physical Universe.
One might suggest that the properties of the Aether limit the speed of light
in a vaccum and therefore acts as a physical constraint. The Aether would
have to have certain rather unique properties.
Modern science tried to discredit Aether Theory after a failed series of
experiments called the Michelson-Morley experiments of 1881-1887.
Modern theory Zero Point Energy (ZPE) is seen as a rebirth of Aether Theory,
based upon Quantum Theory and observations of energy described as quantum
wave fluctuations in a vaccum.
I first read about current Aether theory in a book by G. Patrick Flanagan
entitled "Pyramid Power".
A book that traces the early history of Aether Theory is by David Ash & Peter
Hewitt entitled: "The Vortex: Key to Future Science".
