In the above, please consider “aether” replaced by “luminiferous aether”. I suppose ‘aether’ could be vague enough to mean anything, and in that sense may be real, but I am curious about what aether needed to be in that particular theory in the 1800s.
Well, I specified “luminiferous” (light-bearing) aether in the title, although I abbreviated this as simply “aether” in the rest of the section.

Done.
